Just currious, how many hours on average are you guys that are on a flat rate turning on a 5 day work week? Thats an average, slow weeks and busy weeks together.
Between 80-90 Per week here. What are avg. comission rates?
I would say guys around this area are from 12.00 to 19.00 per refinish hr commission. I see you are from Kansas? Where at?
I am in Topeka.
i’m at 25 a week.
I filled in for the painter a few weeks ago. I think I did about 80 hours for the week @ 25/hr.
That is much less than our painter…but I don’t paint on a regular basis.

not bad at all
I think after that, I was ready to throw the next bumper across the shop. I don’t mind prepping unless it is stupidly shaped bumpers with lots of grooves. Had I only been painting I would have been much more relaxed.
I didn’t complain when I got my paycheque though.
Oh I hear ya bumpers really suck,sometimes I will have 4 bumper covers in the booth and 4 different colors :sick: As far as time goes we are all straight time but I have done as much as 22 plus hrs in one 8hr day.We do all our own masking so if I do 3-5 jobs a day it is a good day for me.When I have help and the other painter is gone and I have 2 booths I have done as many as 10 plus jobs in one day….production painting does get old sometimes :unsure:

When you say strait time is that just by the clock hour? Like as in you get paid eight hours a day no matter how many flag hours a day you turn? Its a good day for me if I get five done in a day. I only have one booth and two preps.
I am around the 90-120 hours a week range. I have 1 helper and 1 booth. I have to work late sometimes for that, just depends on the week and the jobs. I also do other things though. I look after most of the jobs when finished to insure quality control and make sure the detail looks good. My shop is also very limited on space. I try and shoot to turn 20-25 hours a day.
