OK, as our exterior refinish process gets cranking, our team is learning more about efficiency and working together. We have 2 more coaches in line we want our process to get streamlined as our team process expertise grows. This is the way to have quality work at a reasonable cost. “Time is money”…. you’ve heard that but until you have put a pencil to time wasted or lets say not used in a team process…. you end up like every other specialty or restoration shop you will run into. Good shops with an image are always found to be buried with work, stressed out running around trying to keep people from getting tired of waiting for work…. usually a messy, dingy shop and a junk yard of carcus vehicles all strowed around…. they all call it expertise ….. hey but it just should not have to be that way. Why can’t someone with vehicle knowledge hook up with an efficiency and labor expert… heck 2 ofum if you could and really get a restoration process going. Well brother, that’s what we’re doing…
Oh wait, John D. just drove in…. yeah, an early riser too…. LOOK at what he just found on the grocery shelf down here in the south…… I tell ya those boys in the think tanks are on attack… taking southern delicacies to the masses… Whaaaaaaaattttt…. busquits and gravy potato chips????? Waaaaaaawwwww….. Now John hasn’t taste tested what I am sure is a slurry of chemicals but we’ll let ya know. The southern pride has been challenged….
Back to work……
After a successful serious roof refinish We pulled in Cal’s coach as our first process coach with a great outcome
. we’re pulling in our next victim. It’s guide coated… note the black misted paint on the front clip still. Block sanding this will find any low spots or divits.
The guys went at this final sanding as a team… they found a great new DA sanding spot, right in front of those 2 huge 6′ vent fans for the main building
Ma, that dust runs off! Getting our next coach ready
blowing off the rest of the sanding dust, Ray does the coat of primer/sealer and the color process is about to begin
This morning it’s over to the booth
Getting this process down and moving is the important part of the process… putting the rubber on the road…. everyone needs to work together and each one we will improve. Stay tuned for more of the process… oh and if you wondered what this next paint job looked like before we started…. pretty 80’s I would say
wait til you see what we have in store for this coach!!!!
One other pic, I was discussing how not bringing the beltline stripes around the corners of Cal’s paint I feel draws attention not to those really wavy corner stripes and pronounces the rear and side beltline stripes as the main focus…. Whatever right? Take a liika and see what your think.
