3) they woulda learn the work and be the baddest out here now but that fumes thing does firetruck up the lungs real bad so they got advised against it. (Apparently PPE and safe techniques is for people in foreign only)
When you visit the garage it’s always;
1) a set of old car, crashed car blocking up their driveway at the side of their house leading into the garage itself to the back.
2) a set of crash car in the road. Grass growing in some
3) neighbors who hate them
4) a “paint boot” at the back of the garage with no access to it because of the line of parked cars in the driveway. Because of this they paint cars in the driveway, even seen some car fender/ doors etc painted by the gate in the road.
Practices like
1) using customer’s vehicle to run about as a service vehicle once it’s there
2) not even a fire extinguisher present for emergency
3) when they scrap cars they put the pieces on the hood and even on the hood of other cars so they could “see it” when they ready for it.
Business practices like
1) yea boi Daz small thing a lil 1200 and 2 days you will get tru good.. 2 weeks later well I didn’t get the paint for the price I get it last time and rain real fall so you know I ain’t wanna give you bad work but I get it done for a lil 2000. Ah next man woulda charge at least 3.
2) take the work, park up car (Maybe even drive it around) keep it for 3 weeks then actually do work on it for two days and say good things take time
Oh lord and gypsum screw. It seem like they learn in school that it’s the universal screw of planet earth. If it needs to fasten use two gypsum screw.
And of course and runs, fish eye etc... it eh buff yet inno when you buff all that gone it come back like glass.

Using them as bedliners is failure too, will dig out easily. Real bedliners are epoxy for better metal adhesion. My choice for rustproof is Waxoyl .
