Hey! What’s goin’ on!
I recently submitted an email out to my subscribers, asking them what their most burning questions are on how to auto body and paint and in just a few hours, I got 10 pages of responses. I just printed them out. We probably have another 50 pages or so.
Thank You for replying to my email, guys.
So this is the first batch and I just wanted to do a quick Q&A today. I’m not going to do any demo on a project, I just want to go through some of these questions and answer them for you.
Let’s start with a question from Frank…
“Doing a two-tone color paint job…how to decide where to put the change in relationship to body lines.”
So this is where you can get creative and start thinking what you want to do. It’s usually a great place to do color-changing on the body line or right above it. Maybe an inch above it or an inch below it. You just have to follow that body line or you could do your fine-lined tape right on the body line and then do a two-tone from there.
But what I would do is, try to find the black and white version of your car…maybe you can take a picture of it or find it online and then you could experiment. If you’re not the best artist, you can just trace or shade and color the picture to have a clear picture on how it might look like. You could do all your designs, two-tone graphics, use markers and pens, etc. That’s how you could come up with some general concept idea of how you would want to do your graphic and your two-tone color scheme.
So I suggest you do that. Go print something out on paper and get an idea of what it’ll look like. I did this with the Yamaha YSR50 Project.
Watch the video here • How To Paint A Motorcycle Step-By-Step as I talk about this concept. I also show you step-by-step of how I came up with the color scheme for the motorcycle and how we did it.
Next question…
Tony, I want to set up a hobby paint shop. I have a basic compressor and a suction type sprayer. What would be the minimum cost to properly set up a basic shop with essentials? Thanks, Sam
So, I think your #1 expense would be your Air Compressor, #2 would be a Spray Gun and then, your body tools and materials.
In the video, you can see my 60-gallon 5 hp BelAire compressor. I think I paid a little over a thousand bucks for it. It is on the high side because I wanted to get something that would last me a long time. It’s more pricey because it’s high-end, the motor is made in Italy and all but you don’t have to do that. You can get one of those less expensive brands like Campbell Hausfeld or Craftsman. You can get those compressors for $600 or less.
And if you find the time to look around in eBay, you could probably pick one up for just a few hundred dollars and in great condition. You’d want to get something with at least a 60-gallon air tank size. This way you have the volume to complete painting your work and projects without running out of air or your compressor having to strain.
I would say, save $500 for a good size compressor, another $200-$300 for a paint gun, $200-$300 for a bunch of auto body tools, dollies, etc. I’d say for around $1500, you can have a pretty good set to get started.
You don’t have to get everything at once. That’s the thing about auto body or any kind of mechanical tool sets that you’ll have…little by little, you’ll go buying new ones and add it to your arsenal.
I didn’t have everything complete when I first started. As I made money with customer jobs, I bought more tools and equipments. Like when I needed say, a stud welder for a particular job…so I just tacked it on to the job and bought that tool for that purpose and I have it forever. You know, so little by little. :D
We also cover all of this stuff inside the VIP Course. If you’re interested, check it out to get access to over 72 Hours of step-by-step auto body and painting videos.
