Little step to help ensure you don't waste a batch of paint: Add reducer first to help prevent splashing/over reducing when you have a $100 batch in the cup. I also add toners of very small % first to eliminate screwing your whole batch. Accidents happen but with this little tactic, you only pour out some reducer and few drops in waste barrel.

Who’s more stoked it’s covered: You or the customer? One roll covers up to 85 steering wheels for around 11¢ per wheel (3-4 layers). Not too bad for peace of mind.

One great thing about having a collision shop is there is always a junk fender for me to practice on. I sanded it, base coated it, and finished it with 3 coats of clear. I'm very happy with how it turned out! I also love that 3M makes a mask that fits me😁

Don’t be “that” shop. Not judging, just saying. Ok, we are judging:
.
Too Many Delays - Delays are normal. Too many, is bad. If your shop constantly misses completion dates, folks will find a shop that can finish the job on time.
.
Rude behavior - Rude, apathetic, or impolite personnel scare off repeat customers. Attitude reflects the quality of your repairs.
.
Price changes - Unexpected repair costs happen, but don’t bait and switch. A shop that keeps tacking on repair costs is one to be wary of.
.
Poor appearance - You've repaired some messy, dirty, and sloppy cars... but is your shop neat, clean, and organized? You can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a shop by its appearance.
.
Evasive behavior - Does your shop avoid written estimates? Unwilling to write one up until the car is completely dismantled? Give vague explanations? Those are signs something’s not right.
.
Working with a bad body shop is like an awful tattoo. It’s… just… very bad.

Quarantine Lesson #14: Know your Barbies! Like the Zoom chat when we realized... to her face... that Autobody Barbie isn’t Barbie the Welder.
Even funnier? It started back when we discovered the other Barbie (the Welder one) while geeking out over Girl Gang Garage. See? Barbies... Iron... Garages? No? Yeah, there's really no excuse. Welp, makes for a good laugh!
Nothing like a little quarantine cray-cray! Awesome catching up with you ladies, @autobodybarbie, @pinkhairrepair + @pennnypaints!
Quarantine definitely brings out the human in all of us, and we’re digging that.
What workday goofs have you been making during the lockdown?

Can’t wait to shoot this @lpzinc built Chevelle for the channel! I know...the wheels are big...deal with it! The quality of work on this car is staggering and he built the car he wanted, not the one you might want. Personally, I love the no f***s given approach. #chevy #chevelle #stance #wheels #fabrication #classiccars #customcars #restomod #protouring #badass

This was a crazy tank and the idea was a complete accident. Probably still my favorite I’ve done. This was years ago and it taught me to keep an open mind when building and cool things will happen! .
