work is slow !

Post by 962porsche » Tue Nov 01, 2011 10:12 am

because work is so slow i'm cutting my labor rate down on some types of jobs . if your thinking about having your helmet airbrushed or your car needs body work and paint let me know . i will airbrush most helmets for 250 dollars . labor rate on body and paint was 55 an hour down to 40 dollars an hour .

Thinking about roof painting....I was curious, If I had my roof on the ZO6 painted Red can I run in the Miata Class. I think they have two classes. One with red top and one with black top.

Do I need to bring some rattle spray paint cans from Home Depot?

They are having a sale on exterior paint - that should work, won't it?

this is what i do and it works great . after i roll on the primer i then spray on the color with a spray can (the cheaper the better ) then when the paint is still wet i roll it out . this pushes the paint into all the 1000's of pin holes in the body work . then with some used 80 grit DA sand paper i sand the fresh paint and then buff out the job .
