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 .

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

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.

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