As many of us know, having the correct tools for the job makes it much more enjoyable. last year I made my custom hood. But it had a few problems and I wasn't happy as I should be. The epoxy shrunk a bit and it no longer has a nice smooth surface. So I'm going to re do the hood. I broke down and bought new sanding blocks and sand paper. Man, anything that has to do with body work is rather expensive.

This should give me all the basic blocks and common paper grits to get most jobs done.

Now add this to my new paint guns.

And a paint booth, I'm all set. I'll be starting a new thread in regards to the hood once I get started, hoping that is in the next week or 2.

Are you adding a paint booth to the shop? or do you get to use your neighboring business?

I get to use next door. They are looking at a larger booth now and have that in one of the other buildings.

Sweet!!!!!! Sounds like a match made in heaven!

Hey, it works for me. They save a ton having me paint on site, and I get extra cash in my pocket as well as hone my skills, and get to use a paint booth when I need it.

A smart man can see an opportunity. A brilliant man takes that opportunity and creates value with it.

Ahh, so which one am I again?

You be the brilliant one....making money, get to use the booth and increasing your skill sets - ALL VALUE!

money equals more tools, more tools is more jobs, more jobs is more money, more money is more tools. he who dies with the most tools wins.

I agree! I've already booked a hearse with a trailer hitch and a U-Haul Trailer for when I go....
