[Painter D]

I feel your pain. I'm a collision painter here in DFW, been doing it since I was 18. These insurance companies have become extremely stingy on repair times. I had one adjuster tell me that they don't care about quality as much as they care about getting the vehicle back on the road as cheap as possible. He literally said that to me. I don't know about other places in the U.S. ,but they're pushing "cycle times" extremely hard as well. I had another guy tell me once that they want the repair to be like a drive thru at a fast food restaurant. Go figure. Here in DFW we have very large body shops that turn alot of work , and if we're 1 day over their precious "go date" the insurance company shuts off the work. It seems to me that hardley any insurance companies care at all about doing things right anymore.
