Well I started working at a shop last October by sanding a whole 73 gmc rv with just a 6 inch da but I moved up to painting cars using basf products glasurit rm etc in january then in march i quit cause he stop paying. Well my question is how should I try to proceed to go to a other shop I know how to do filler primer bc/cc single stage tri stage jobs and blends but I didn't go to school for any of this I was taught right in the old shop.
sorta new to the field

Mention that to whoever you talk to.
Be sure and remember what brand tools you use (hopefully you have quality tools) just in case you are asked. I have interviewed quite a few people that don't even know what brand tools they have, so at least know what you use.
Remember you don't have too much experience so do not oversell yourself. Tell them you're willing to come in and work your way up. Start at prep and a couple weeks in, offer to paint something.
Have a good attitude
Show up on time.
Do quality work.
Be a good listener
Work hard
...and you'll go far.
We all started out the same way you did

If the new boss has a different way to do it you might have to adapt and flex for his liking on some procedures. great advice in the thread.
