Got a call from a motel supplier. The local Comfort Inn rejected
their shipment of 150 chairs. The color match was off by a mile.
Fortunately they need to go darker.
They are whitewood. Toned and top coated w/ precat (supposedly).
I'm trying to figure how much time I'll have in one.
Proposed schedule-
Transport ~20 per batch,
Remove cushions
Make sure they're clean,
Scuff sand 320
Wet out w/ lac. thinner
Tone to color match
Scuff
Topcoat w/ precat, one coat(?),possibly 2 on the arms.
Reinstall cushions
Transport
I will first match the current color on a sample board, add new
toner. Get approval, do the same on a chair, topcoat, wait 3
days do adhesion test.
The vendor has ~$55 per chair and $2K into freight.
I charge $40/hr at this time.
What would you folks figure for time per one?
Any advise on the proposed schedule?
The other photo is my daughter apprentice.
Thanks,
