question for pro painters & decorators only pls?

right bit of a strange one lads, but would you feel confident painting a car, now obviously im not talking getting your Purdy out, but if you have used sprayers on jobs over the years do you think you could do it, I mean in principle its the same, do your prep, rub down, filler, primer, flatten off blah blah blah, im a time served painter and have used sprayers on jobs allot, and don’t want to pay out 3 or 4 grand for a paint job., so lads am I nuts or do you think it’s a go’er, I know your average joe with no experience has done it but would you have a go
ive got all the gear, compressor, spray guns, air tools, ect
this is what im thinking of painting

Does anyone know anything about jobs in the Construction Industry?

I need to know what the following jobs mean, what you need to do them and the average pay can you help?
a) Labourers
b) Carpenters
c) Painters Decorators
d) Machine Drivers
e) Groundworkers
f) Scaffolders

I also need help Drivers and their relevant liscenses. I know it’s a lot to ask so even if you know a website that may help me, I’d be grateful.

Senseible answers only please.

Many Thanks,
Hazel.

How much should i charge per hour for decorating work?

i have set myself up as a painter/ decorator/handyman.
work is coming in and i do provide estimates for free but its difficult to gauge how much to charge.
initially i thought £120 per day, 7 hours work.
but
am i pricing myself out of the jobs?
i work in rural settings in the westcountry.
what have you paid for decorating work?

How to deal with a wayward painter and decorator.?

He has decorated my house but has left the doors and has not painted them, maybe I did not mention him to paint them, but now I have given him all his money plus a fiver extra, how can I get him to paint the inside doors, without paying extra, what do you guys suggest. He has left some work he said he will do and has left them and not mentioned them. He is comming back in a weeks time, to finish off another job how shall I approach him to do the other jobs as well as paint the doors, I am not a very assertive person and hate conflict.
