I'll post more as I progress.

Having a booth is ohh so nice ;) .

Looking at the photos is that on wood blocks or a platform with wheels to move it around ?

We had a small booth at work but the space was needed for parts/lunchroom .

Looks good , should have it all back together by next week I would think .

SxS

My customer made a rolling platform for it so it could be moved around easily.

This looks more like less than $500 in supplies. Finish Master sells that clear kit for $60 at the downtown store. I think its time for you to switch jobbers!

1 Gallon DBC Deltron Basecoat $160-250.00
1 Gallon Reducer $27.00 Grow Brand
1 Gallon Clear $35.00 FinshMaster Smartline Clear
1 Quart Activator $25.00 FinshMaster Smartline Clear
4 hrs Spray Booth Rental w/heater $80.00-120.00 Downtown/Korea Town
1 Sublet Labor (painters helper, hey someone has to make those beer runs!) $15

I couldn't agree more about changing where I buy my supplies.
1 gallan DBC Deltron Basecoat......$268.28
1 Gallon DT-870 Reducer.......$38.12
1Gallon Clear.......$41.90
1Qt Activator.......$17.42
Sales Tax....$30.17
Total .....$395.89(Your Invoice #51612837 (in case you want to double check my figures)
Booth Rental ...I'm not downtown L.A./ Korea Town or factoring in towing if I had to go there just to rent a booth
Sublet.....I didn't get my helper on the street corner this morning. He actully speaks english.
PLUS.... I came in this morning to see the car in the light of day and it so TRANSPARENT that I can see through it! ALL THIS TIME MATERIAL AND EXPENSE DOWN THE DRAIN. I've got to do this job over again.

From a wagon Capt. Crunch? I am sorry, but my clients pay me to do my best, and second rate materials are not just good enough.

Is that an Alfa KevinP?

I was suggesting the wagon to Kevinp73, but the wagons do not usually have second rate materials. There is company called Rainbow that sells Glassurit, PPG, and Dupont right out of the stepvan. Yes, they also have Omni, Nason, Limco, and the aftermarket stuff but most of you guys use this when a budget gets involved.

Bill is selling paint now? I have known him for twenty five years all the way back to the Terry York days.
