Auto Body Repair – How To Clear Coat Over Airbrushed Flame – HD
Posted by admin on June 6, 2010
http://Donnie-Smith.com – Please rate this video. This auto body Repair video is the last part of answering a question of how to prepare and complete a car for artwork. We did not spend much time on airbrushing as Danielle, the girl that asked the question, already know how to airbrush. The question was how to prepare a car finish and clear coat it to ensure the artwork stays protected.
Part 1 – Clean and Scuff
Part 2 – Clean and Mask
Part 3 – Clean, Airbrush and Clear Coat
Are you starting to see a pattern? Proper cleaning is an important more of this type of work.
Part 3
1. Wipe with wax and grease remover
2. Tack off with tack rag
3. Artwork, Airbrush, Etc.
4. Unmask
5. Wipe again with wax and grease remover
6. Tack surface with tack rag
7. Apply tack coat of clear (optional)
8. Apply 2 full wet or recommended coats of clear
Be sure to allow clear coat to flash the recommended time between coats.
Overlap each coat 50% with your spray pattern.
Keep your spray gun parallel to the surface being sprayed.
Wear approved respirator
Wear gloves when clearing
You may also want to spend more time with the airbrush. In this example, I think some red would have looked good on the flames. If you’re going for the ghost effect the same method could be used. Simple use pearls instead of color to outline the flame.
Good Luck! end me a photo or video of your project.

Auto body repair & previous damage? Rights?
Posted by admin on May 31, 2010I had to take my car (2004 Toyota Corolla S) into an auto body repair shop to get some recent damage fixed. Yesterday I got a call from the shop letting me know that there has been extensive previous damage to my car that was left unrepaired and the only repairs made were done to cover up the internal damage.
I’ve never been in this situation before and I don’t know what my rights are or if I have any.
The dealership I bought this car from ripped me off on the price of the car and the interest rate of the loan. Now to find out that there has been previous damage that was merely covered up just kills me. I bought the car over a year ago.
What can I do?
If the pre-existing damage would have been evident to a mechanic from the dealer inspecting the car before it was put on sale, then by law, it should have been disclosed on a form that should have been given to you at the time of the sale….the form has a checklist of various systems of the car and a mechanic is suppose to inspect the car and check off each item/system as being ok or not. If you received this form in your paperwork, look at it for these checkoff’s—the selling dealer must keep a copy in their records by law and should have been signed by you. Check with your state’s Attorney General’s office on how to file a complaint and possible legal rights you have and maybe get a lawyer if the dealer doesn’t want to repair the old damage or give you reparations to have it fixed. There’s also a very important legal distinction, in some states, called "diminished value" where a damaged car is not worth as much as one that isn’t and you should be compensated for this by the dealer–or any time you have an accident that’s not your fault—a lawyer or your insurance company rep should know what your state legal statutes provides a person for this compensation.

Have the body shop stop the repairs and try to estimate the previous damage costs–get pictures of the prior damage and submit copies of them to the dealer–keep the originals.
Make sure to get reimbursed for any rental car costs also and maybe your car payment for a month to cover the extra time involved in clearing up the matter.
Lesson learned—Always have a car inspected by a mechanic you trust before buying.

government regulations on running an auto-body repair shop?
Posted by admin on May 27, 2010what website can i get information on government regulations on running an autobody repair shop particulary in miami florida PLEASE HELP !
I doubt very much if you can find all you need to know on a single web site.
You will have to contact the zoning board to make sure that your facility has or can get zoning approval.
You will have to contact licenses and inspections for both the city and the county.
You will also have to contact whatever government (city/county/state) has environmental jurisdiction due to waste disposal.
Since you will have employees you will also need an employer identification number from both state and federal governme-thents.
I am sure I have forgotten some of the things you will have to check into, but this will get you started.
Hope this helps
