Following the journey of a student that has attended PaintTech Academy. Rhys came to our course in January 2018 ready to learn paint spraying and how to do it. Here we have followed his journey over the past few months.
Rhys had always been a grafter going to college learning bricklaying but couldn’t get any jobs till a friend asked him to change to decorating, and he would give him a job.
He first used a paint spraying machine after his boss asked if he knew what he was doing with a paint sprayer. Not knowing what he was doing, he said yeah and thought it would be easy to do. He ran into a few troubles as you would not knowing what you are doing but still managed to finish the job quicker than if he was to paint it with a roller.
Rhys came to PaintTech because, after his first half-day, he realised the potential business he could pull in and liked that there was a person there that actually cares and he can have a personal connection with.

After the initial training with PaintTech, Rhys was put into a support group so if he needed any help, we could assist him with that, but after being in this group, we invited him to help with a job where he got to have a hands-on experience and could pick our brains to learn everything he needed.
After he completed his paint spraying training, Rhys went home and got his first job. He had just 14 days to complete the task. Rhys said that he probably would not have taken this job on if he had to manually paint with a roller, which would have taken too long. According to the maintenance man at that job, it had taken the last decorators two weeks to finish one of the walls full of windows but had taken Rhys three days.
