    Air Compressor Advice

    @mc2hill makes a great point in his post. Depending on what you are doing you may not need a really big compressor. When you wrote you were building out your garage I took it to mean you would be doing a variety of work and not just light work. If all you are doing is tires and light tools...

    Air Compressor Advice

    Hey There, I originally had a 120V single cylinder compressor (20 gallon) in my garage about 10 years ago and it was just not enough. I now have an Ingersol Rand 2 cylinder (2 stage) 240V 80 gallon and it is perfect. I paint vehicles and the flow is more than enough for a paint gun. For...

    Checking Paint Thickness

    Holy Crap that's a lot of damage on that explorer!!!! The Escape is not at bad but it's going to need filler and those vehicles will not have factory paint in those areas anymore. That is just crazy. Thanks for sharing guys.

    Checking Paint Thickness

    After I went thought my ordeal and talked with a lot of people industry I learned what you said is soo true, and I agree that any damage should be noted on the vehicle's history. In my case I noticed it when I was detailing it. I could see the orbital sanding marks under the black paint, so I...

    Checking Paint Thickness

    You know it's funny you say that. I had bought a 2015 Camaro ZL1 right off the factory floor (Brand New). I drove it home and detailed it. I noticed body work on the left rear quarter panel. I was beyond myself and felt sick. I drove the car back, said it was repainted, dealer denied any...

    Checking Paint Thickness

    You bet, I think it's actually most useful when buying a car as it is so useful, plus if there is a Bondo job the PTG won't read as the substrate is too thick so its good for finding bodywork. It's a great negotiating tool. Thanks for the comment!!

    Checking Paint Thickness

    So when buying a vehicle, or when detailing, it's good to know how thick your paint is. I found this paint thickness gauge and find I'm actually using it it quite a bit. It comes in handy most of the time when shopping for a vehicle as I am able to quickly tell if a steel or aluminum panel has...

    Should I upgrade to a Flex 3401?

    I actually debated if I should get a flex 3401 and wound up getting the Rupes Mille and have no regrets. I still have my porter cable but just don't use it anymore.
