Still not 100% accurate. I can not only tell the painter what color, I can tell him I want it scraped, not stripped with a heat-gun, and that I want the paint brushed on, not sprayed. I can even tell him to start on the left side, then the rear, then front then right and he's still an IC.

Now the painter, he has two Mesticans working for him- he pays them 10 bucks an hour cash and intends to give them a 1099 every year. Using hand gestures and speaking spanglish very loudly, he tells them to scrape and brush on the paint. One of them falls off the ladder and he learns quickly that they are actually employees, and he's responsible for their workers compensation. (Well, he would have learned, but since the Mestican is illegal, he is afraid to file a claim).

I guess this is why it'll wind up in court.
