Comment on Lost Value Claims After Your Car Is Repaired by James

Just to add, you do not need to have your vehicle repaired. You can sell as is and still collect on dv. You might as well collect on lost of use st the same time. Them giving you an Enterprise rental is not the same as your BMW or Benz.

Comment on SOP for Cosmetic One Sided Plastic Bumper Repair by Dan Lewis

Dan Lewis — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 19:08:35 +0000

Nice quick little video. I may do something similar on car to show my customers how mobile bumper repair works. I think sharing what is involved helps build value for the customer. Sometimes they don’t understand why it takes 2 hours to perform a repair. With this information, they feel that their money is well spent and the repair is well-performed.

John Armstrong — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:49:28 +0000

Is there any other option besides spot welding? i am not comfortable with welding…
Also, after the spot welding you need to do some denting and painting also, but can still manage with it. The Welding part is pretty difficult for me!

Hi,
My name is Taylor and I’m the Community Manager for Convoy Auto Repair based in San Diego, CA. I came across your blog the other day and thought that your audience would find an infographic we created useful.

It’s titled “Car Repair Costs Across The USA – Who Pays The Most?” and is a fun way of showing the breakdown of common repairs accross the nation. We’d be delighted if you would share this with your readers on your blog.

If interested, you can view the infographic and grab the embed code here: http://www.convoyautorepair.com/automotive-news/car-repair-costs-across-the-usa-who-pays-the-most-infographic.
Thank you for your consideration!

Yes, you can add clear, which will decrease the amount of color being applies. However, the desired effect is whatever you like. If you like 2 to 3 coats better than 6 coat go with 2 to 3. Do a test panel. Spray the base and mask the panel with 6 strips of 2″ tape. Spray 1 coat and pull a strip off, then another coat and pull a strip off. Do this untill all of the tape is pulled off. Then go ahead and clear coat it. Once dry, see which color you like the best. Then go with what looks the best. As far as the compressor, that sound a little small. I don’t think that has enough volume to paint correctly. Clear should be applied full wet, to get the glossy appearance. 22 psi sound fine with an Iwata, but you will need more volume in my opinion.

i am learning how to work with house of color candy paint. When I open the can of candy they are dark in color and after spraying two coats its dark but the tech sheet says desired results in six coats. I called the hok tech line and Jeff said that I can dillute the candy with uc35 clear. Is this true. And one more question I dont have a high powered compressor it is a 2hp 29 gallon compressor and I am usind a transtar 1.4 gun which has 22psi inlet and gives 4cfm and 9.6psi at the cap. It is a lvlp spray gun. I dont have a place to put a two stage compressor setup at the moment but eventually I will. Should I raise the pressure to shoot the clear or leave it at 22psi? (my clear coat is coming out dull) And one more: would the Iwata lph 400 lvx orange cap work with my compressor, would you recommend it? Thank you.
