  1. Powder Coating

    I'm considering a venture into the coatings business. This would be spray-in bedliners, hydro image dipping and powder coating, with emphasis on the powder coating. The liners I already do, just don't push it. The hydro image dipping requires painting equipment & knowledge, which I already have...
  2. Interesting towing rig...

    I saw this at Lowe's yesterday and it left me kinda speachles...
  3. Customer turned "competitor"

    So, this "friend" (I've been aquainted with him for about 20 years) / customer (who owed me $92 for about 18 months) stopped by and says he's tired of the business he has and he'd like to get into something new. He asked if I needed any help. I don't need any help and we typically slow down some...
  4. typestries / weprintyouprofit.com

    Just had Kate & crew do a couple more batches of coro signs for us. Quick turn around, reasonable pricing and great product as usual. Highly recommended! Send file, open box, collect profit. Ya can't beat it.
  5. Old Cars...

    I'm looking for a pre-1973 station wagon or suburban (4wd), 4 door is fine. I may consider a sedan if it's a 2 door, I need to fit at least 5 people. If anybody sees one in their area or online, shoot it over to me! Not looking for a show car, just a driver and my budget is going to be...
  6. Matte Bronze wrap material?

    We've been getting a lot of requests for color change wraps and most of those are for matte finish. I'm going to do my Escalade as a test for the market. It's black now. I prefer Oracal materials generally but I think I'm going to go with the 3M 1080 matte military green and I wanted to do the...
  7. Our wrap got some media!

    Here's a box truck wrap we did (right) that won HVACR Magazine's "Best-Looking Box Truck" for 2011. Our customer brought us a matted and framed copy this morning! We're in good company too... Dan's work there on the cover (far left)!
  8. 2008+ Ford Super Duty tailgate

    Does anybody have the vector to "fill in" the existing embossed "SUPER DUTY" letters on the tailgate of a 2008+ Ford F250/F350 truck? kstompaint@aol.com Thanks!
  9. Reflective Wrap?

    This wrap sure looks reflective... 3M 680 is all I've seen that could maybe do this... anybody know?
  10. shop truck wrap, critique it!

    I'm finally getting around to wrapping this truck that I bought almost a year ago. Designing for myself is so much more difficult than for a customer. I can't decide if I should keep tweaking this or scrap it and start over.
  11. media initial AFTER print

    Our 1614 seems to be following the path of our 1604, self destruct one week after the warranty expires. The current dilemma: We fire it up and send a print. It prints the whole file and then attempts to media initial AFTER the print and then the good ol' catch all E074 CR2. Power down, then...
  12. Trailer Door

    We whipped this out quick yesterday in time for the customer to hit the road for a car show.
  13. Anybody near Exton, PA?

    Anybody near Exton, PA? I'm looking at a GMC Yukon at Exton Nissan but it's almost 5 hours for me and I don't want any surprises. If you're near there, know anything about cars and don't mind stopping to take a look, let me know. Thanks!
  14. airbrush job

    This isn't exactly my style, but it's what the customer wanted. The base on the truck is a dark blue pearl and he will be spraying the clear. I hope to get some more pics of it after he does that. It's all PPG DBC base coat and all applied with an Iwata HP-C airbrush over sanded clear coat.
  15. Propane heat?

    I got a new shop that I'm getting ready to renovate. I need to heat about 1600 sq ft of garage with 15' ceilings and about another 800-1000 sq ft of offices with 8' ceilings (divided in 3 areas). There's no natural gas available. I'm looking into overhead radiant tube heaters that run on propane...
  16. Nerves, kids, snow & an auction

    Tomorrow morning is the Sheriff's sale for a building that I've been chasing down for about a year now. I've got the $ all lined up and I'm ready to go but there's going to be some pretty stout competition and my stomach is churning. To add to it, my mother in law springs it on us at the last...
  17. clear bra

    I have a roll of the 3M clear bra material that I bought to do some Peterbilt fenders for a friend of mine. My mother-in-law just bought a 2010 Ford Focus SES and I told her I'd put some on for her. Yesterday I put some on my buddy's SRT-8 Jeep and it was kinda a PITA. Does anybody have the...
  18. Custom Paint

    Full custom paint job on a custom "Q8" freestyle jet ski for Eric Malone Enterprises. All paint, no vinyl & lots of clear coat!
  19. HHR partial wrap

    Finished this HHR up this afternoon. The E250 was yesterday. Orajet 3951 with 290G laminate.
  20. New (old) shop truck

    Picked this up on eBay today... I've been wanting one since one of my "rich" buddies had one in high school. The ETA on small deliveries should be cut in half :) Now to break it to the wife (I was playing online beside her bed while she was recovering from surgery and was heavily sedated...
