72'BBGMCSGCC. Thanks for calling me! To help you out here is my toughts. First of all you need to see some cars or trucks that the shop has done, and yes i think a spray booth is a must for show quality work and you need to find a shop that is up to date on todays technogly.
Just like i was telling you on the phone, the shop need to use good quality products i use dupont i like it and it works fine, but i do use house of kolors. I don't wet sand no more i dry sand,
3m has a new product and the 3m rep came by my shop and done a demo for me to see how it works. I love it! Once the clear
cures you take 1500 grit on a da and nib it and the 3000 grit
is made to take out 1500 grit scraches and then the compound
is made to take out the 3000 grit scraches and you end up with
a flawless paint job!
The paint is only as good as the prep work is if you got sorry prep
work then the paint will never hold up. They need to use good
expoxy primer and if you take part of it or all of it to bare metal
then you need to use self itiching primer.
And metal prep on the metal as far as the paint i like putting
3 to 4 coats of base i know alot of shops only gives you 2 coats.
My opinion is if you only going to have 2 coats of base then why pay $4,000 to $6,000 for a paint job. when you can pay maco
$400.00 and have 2 coats.
On clear i like putting 3 coats and sand it and get all the flaws
(dust particals) and then 3 more coats of clear and buff it out!
Also on certain colors putting 3 coats on and sand it and put 3 more coats on makes it look deeper, have you ever seen a paint job that just looks real deep?
I'm in the process of a new web page please keep a check on my web page and good luck on your truck and if i can be of any help just call me .
Tony.
