Sallee learned SATA RPS Cups are also a winner, she said.
“The painters here showed me that they store much easier than the other non-SATA cups. If we have to do some touch-up or spot work, we can always store a little color in the cup and go back to it with the RPS Cups.”
To make the picture more complete, Sallee wears her Dan-Am Pro Series SATA ladies paint suit whenever she’s in the booth.
Offered in sizes 5 to 26, the suit is machine washable, made from 100% polyester calendered materials and antistatic built-in carbon fiber threads.
She loves the way it breathes and the heavy-duty zippers on the sides.
“Because it can get hot around here in the summer,” she said. “The suit makes me feel comfortable and it fits perfectly.”
When she first started using the paint suits the shop provided, Sallee ran into sizing issues.
“The arms and legs were way too long and the whole suit was way too baggy. Now with my SATA ladies’ suit, there’s less material and I can move around more easily in the booth.”
Sallee also likes the fact her SATA rep is accessible and accommodating.
“I was interested in an RP gun and he came and did a demo for me,” she said. “Wow, this is a great gun, I thought. This can really lay the product down and it’s so smooth. I think that will be the next gun to add to my small collection.”
With her SATA guns by her side, Sallee is pleased about her job. Using SATA guns is part of the journey, she said, and every day is a different adventure.
“My plan is to be a career painter and do this job as long as I possibly can. At first, I didn’t think I would like this as much as I do. But I love everything about painting and I am getting some very positive reviews. It’s really fun and I have no complaints!”
