Getting fedup now,so as i have a mate whos learning me bodywork,i am thinking about setting up a little unit painting body panels,bumpers mirriors,skirts,and even wheels,even thought about the name (paint a panel services).What does everyone reckon.Oh and b.t.w. all miggy customers would get a nice discount.

Sounds liile a plan
Are there not a lot of difficulties now though in setting up a paint shop?

[unlucky mark mv6]

Think you have to have a proper booth by law,but not really bothered to begin with.

There is a company local to me that does the same sort of thing that you are thinking of doing.
I think he gets around the law as he is spraying stuff that he can do in the van, so it is an enclosed area

Good luck to you if you run with it  One problem I can invisage though is if you paint metallics you will have problems matching up to adjacent panels if you spray the panel as a seperate job

[unlucky mark mv6]

Well you can never guarentee a perfect match anyway.
