I need some advice on how to go about talking to my boss about me buying my own paint so I can get rid of what I’m using now
That is a really tricky subject as you can tell your boss use this paint as it’s better etc but he will look at costs and productivity of the paint schemes also how good is your working relationship with your boss ? I would carefully bring up the subject and tell him how you don’t think the paint you have is any good and the clear coats doesn’t lay down nice etc and go from there really !
I’ve done all of that and all they tell me is they have a very good relationship with our jobber and are not switching cause the jobber helped them out years ago when the shop almost went under and I keep telling them any jobber would help out just to keep your business but I’m pretty much stuck with what I got no matter what I do
Hmmm I’m sorry to say that your stuck then mate ! I had the same problem a few years ago what paint scheme are you using if you don’t mind me asking and why is it crap ?
Cromax pro there’s just a lot of issues with it and on top of the issues we are not set up for water so it takes longer to do a job and a lot more money per job
DuPont then what sort of issues are you having with it ? I haven’t used solvent based paint for the last 8 years being in the UK we have crossed over to water base years ago !
It’s DuPont water based but thinks like color match dry times and cost
Yeah I used that and it’s a very expensive paint brand ! I take it you don’t have the heat quads in your booth then and drying the paint with a blower will take ages as you put all 3 coats in one hit to be honest with you fella I honestly don’t know what else to say ! :S

If you worked for me I’d happily let you buy your own paint. It would save me a lot of expense :lol1
I would much rather buy my own that way I’ll make sure it doesn’t get wasted by the other people using it but the guys I got do a pretty good job not wasting materials but they could always do better
