67. Unapologetic: A Paint and Body Tech’s Journey

Meet Alex Chiarore, a no nonsense, calls-it-like-she-sees-it, professional automotive painter and body tech. Seventeen years ago, she embarked on her career through a school co-op program, discovering an enduring love for paint and body work. Throughout her career, she experimented with estimating and even managed a shop for a few years. However, she found herself missing the hands-on work she truly enjoyed. She returned to a collision and restoration shop where she could continue her passion for paint and body. Alex is unapologetic about knowing her worth and advocates for women to stay vigilant about their work environments, urging them to avoid becoming “boiling frogs.”

In a candid conversation, Alex opens up about her biggest obstacle: herself. She discusses her history of frequently changing jobs and burning bridges, and shares the pivotal moment when she realized that attitude is everything. Alex finds joy in seeing young women join the industry and feels a deep sense of fulfillment in her work. She also shares her quirky pre-paint superstition that she follows diligently.
