This is for my fathers company, Gorman Enterprises. -Fulltime, 7-3:30, M-F -Must have good experience, and a resume’. no beginners, amatuers, or guys who have done a couple jobs and think your qualified -We use Industrial PPG paint the majority of the time, with an automotive job here and there -Must be GOOD AT YOUR JOB. if you are found out to suck, you will be dropped quicker than you can say peace out. this is a professional business, and the paint job highly reflects the finish product. nothing less than the best is acceptable. -Must have good skills in body work. must be able to make panels straight, do collision work, remove and replace (tools), mask appropriately, etc etc. and no slobs -You must be RELIABLE. at your job ON TIME. we are quite busy. and if you have an unexcusable absence, it hurts the team -must be a TEAM PLAYER, and get along with others. at the same time, be able to stay focused, and get your work done. this isn’t the glamerous world of chip foose, this is painting trucks, dump bodies, etc, with the occasional car. i am also writing this up on my own, my father and his service manager did not intervene with this add. certain terms may vary. if i see something that looks promising, i will pass it on to them, and we will go from there. if you are denied or ignored for any reason, dont feel bad, and im sorry. edit: heres a link to the company. the website isn’t spectacular, but it gives an idea: [http://www.gormanent.com/](http://www.gormanent.com/) heres a small pic of our paint booth: [![http://www.gormanent.com/images/dynamic//service3.gif](http://www.gormanent.com/images/dynamic//service3.gif)](http://www.gormanent.com/images/dynamic//service3.gif) firehawk853, badazz, psychopjv, jeeves, dpmiroc, crazylt1, muscle50 and a few others can attest to the level of work that we do thanks, bill ---

mac / snap on / SK you’d need a DA obviously, then probably screwdrivers, ratchets, sockets, wrenches, body and HD hammers, grinder(s), blow gun, and shit like that would be perfered. we got a bunch of guns. i dunno who they belong to, but whenever i need to spray i use one of those. i dunno if they are workers’ or the businesses. whatever. alot of the noobs we’ve hired lately (mostly iron workers) dont seem to have many tools, which is beyond me. i find them asking for my shit all the time. uughh. as long as all my shit is put back at the end of the day, not ruined, or not used when i need it, im fine with that i havent been using many of my tools lately as a matter of fact since i switched to the iron work. all i need is a welder, elect grinder, and my skins/helmet. and square. i only used my tools for the car…lol ---
