😉 just found out that I need glasses for work, as I’ve been getting headaches from the booth flickering alday. Now I know what you guys are going to say just change the lights a d sadly I’ve stopped going on bout it as its two years later lol. Thing is….. I’m now going to have to wear a full head shield with filters etc not just a cartridge mask which yeah I now you shouldn’t but ha ho. If I can’t get my boss to change a light then I ain’t going to get him to rig up new booth air lines, lights, repaint and tack to walls with water wash, I’m every jealous when I see the set up you guys have and little effort you have to do with the booth 🙁
Even I don’t wear glasses I have been wearing a 3M PAPR system for over 13 Years and love it. I just got the new style about a month ago and the face shield is much lighter
TLB.
You get whole new system or just the new helmet?
If you got new systems how’s it different from original ?Hey Rikka.
I need glasses too. But I have to be honest I hate wearing them as I find they just get in the way or I knock them off or they fall off. So I wear contact lenses. The only problem with contact lenses is if you dont wear a full face mask then the blow back of paint can sometimes stick to them and irritate them. Im soon going to change to a full face mask as Im sure it will be better for my health also.
It isnt good of your boss not to maintain the booth and equipment he has but dont be too envious. I work in a make shift booth, with no bake facility and it really does make it hard work at times.
Why doesn’t he maintain his equipment anyway? A clean, well lit booth will produce better paint results, less re-works and increase his margins surely?
I think it comes down to me being the 2nd painter and being the youngest in the team of four. So I get over ruled most of the time. I tend to get most of the work people don’t want to do on both side of panel and paint. I don’t really mind as that’s the best time that I shine and pull out some great results 🙂 . I do get a great pay for my 40 hour week of insurance work most of the work that’s on here of mine is spare ;). I try my best to do what I can with what I’ve got on both paint and panel, over the years I’m the only one out of the four that can do both which is great . I found out bout my glasses as I’m the one who flats, denies and polish plus waxes the paint jobs. I take my hat of to you jm as I’ve done work like that and it can be a pain in the ass ha ha
