    If they told us that they wanted us to save the deductible they would have been told we can’t do that, but we would be glad to put it on their charge card for them 😉

    Are you using sealer and base from the same manufacturer?
    If you are have you contacted your local rep?

    20 years ago I used a cross draft booth with 8 of the infratech heaters in the booth itself. They had ajustable timers that you could control the cycle times for the heaters.
    Yes you could do some damage due to the radiant heat if your not carefull.

    I had a Civic come in and the front bumper was held on with a drywall screw, screwed into the inch of Bondo on the fender. And that was the better part of the repair.

    I use to date the inside of door panels that I have skinned.

    Next time you hang a door to paint straighten out a coat hanger and attach one end to the door and the other to the floor grate.
    No more swinging door.

    We had to repair hundreds of GM vehicles at the dealership that had this delamination problem.

    Quickest way to remove it was with a stripper in a spray can called Peeler.

    Our dealership has had a paint team for 15 years now and it works. First off you need to have painters who will work together and not think that one is better than the other.

    We have three painters and how we do it is we each will take what ever comes through the paint shop door when we need more work. If it is a large job you could even find all three on that job if we are ready for a new job. One of us might be out in the shop cutting in rails & a support and one of us could be doing a tricoat and one might be doing priming.
    At the end of the week the time is added up and split three ways.

    You said you want around 150-200% ? You will get 200-300% IF you can get your painters to work together.
    Painters, not preppers. You need people who can do anything at anytime.

    If you have a team you will not have to split up the work so everyone ends up with the same hours for the week, no more hearing ” he got a better job tha me!”

    We start at 8:00 and some days we have everything done by 2:00, Fridays we are gone at noon, 240 – 300 hours completed for the week.

    When we did the install on our prep deck and two booths we were required to install a fire suppression system in them as well as the mix room. We were also required to install a burst panel in the outside wall of the mix room incase of an explosion.

    Other than that just the normal inspection process & permits required for electrical connections.

    We had a demo of this in the summer when it was 95 degrees with about 80% humidity and it dried quite well with very little use of blowers.
