You guys are the techs who write the estimates ?
What about START in Tesla. To learn
Thank you that was helpful!
👍
Insurance companies are paying shops an embarrassingly low shop rate. There isn't enough money on the table to pay a reasonable wage for skilled labour in our industry.
Anybody know what I need to connect this to the Q5 platinum turbine? Also where can I find the special cups that screw into the top of the gun?
How about video
Awesome
How do you preserve it from getting hard in the tube after open?
Thank you!
This is hilarious, Two little two late. 30 year veteran of the industry good luck, cause I and many just like me refuse to do it for minimum wage.
Who wrote that rubbish
Where to find in Montreal?
Fast reducer With standard hardener? No cons?
Please translate Hindi
As a retired body shop manager Stay clear of corporate shops. Period!
you see those monster pin holes?
This is usted for what and how.?????
As an amateur, now on my 3rd can of UPol Premium Dolphin Filler, I now weigh everything. Had a couple of fails on this product, and took me ages to scrape it all off. Its a lovely product for sanding, but mix ratio seems very sensitive compared to other fillers I used...where I never weighed anything before. Weighing certainly helps consistency between the layers with multiple swipes on complex curves.
What a bunch of BS... He has no idea. 😂
I would say run away from this industry. Highest paid tech is 27.00 per hour. Your tool bill from snapon will be $250 a week. No benefits hard work and endless problems. Working for people that sale a peice of paper. Go to work for the insurance companies. They have a cake walk no overhead other than marketing. They get parts commissions for finding insurance approved parts with quote # that how they get their commissions. You will wake up one day realizing you were just being used bye con men. Broken back and you can't breathe from all the Hazards Chemicals. Even if you start your own unless you're a cheat You won't make any money robbing peter to pay paul.
Everyone is scared to Comment
Can I use on a plastic spoiler for car?
Great gun skills.😂
These machines are amazing. Especially if building a car from a bunch of new panels.. these can weld 3 overlapping sheets badda bing. These also maneuver all over. I’ve only seen one in a very well established shop but it was amazing to try and watch
I'm an automotive paint technician
I need a job
I'm Robin Christian from Pakistan
Lovely and easy technology
Please contact me
Hi Bates
Do I need to put Acid primer or primer before painting with raptor if the black steel wheels are brand new?
Are they bare steel or coated?
@@silvercommander coated glossed black by factory
@coco9004 I'd just sand them with a red scotch brite prime. Sand up to 600 if metallic. If solid color 400. But if you have a sealer it would be a lot easier and faster. Use the scotch brite seal, then paint
Exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you.
I want to throw something out there and see what comes back. I have recently encountered an issue affecting many body shop businesses across the country, they are currently all being denied payment for necessary safety calibrations, that are required to put a safe vehicle back on the road. My question is who regulates this being done or for a better sense, what organization governs that this is a safety requirement that absolutely must be done when required and must also be paid for by either the insurance company's loss claim or the customer paying for the damage. I don't understand how any insurance company can deny this to be paid for as a part of the collision loss claim. They're blatantly telling the shops to collect the money from the customer? Isn't that illegal? Who governs this? Is it the BAR? or the NHTSA? Is it OSHA? Who governs safety and its requirements in the USA? Now this is the deep dark rabbit hole... I have found nothing to this effect. All that I can find out there is, that these organizations I mentioned earlier only have regulations and requirements for the OE manufacturers to have these safety items installed on their vehicles. And THAT IS IT! I'm curious to know what the future holds, and who will champion this into reality. Will SCRS carry the torch on this one?

The project is to repair the hole that rusted through a porcelain coated cast iron sink. After using fiberglass and fiberglass cloth to patch the hole, I was thinking about using a clear epoxy with matching white pigment to put the final layer or two on the sink. It’s by the faucet, so it isn’t really weight bearing and although there is contact with water, it isn’t soaked at the bottom of the sink. Any advice, ideas, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Nothing has even been started, everything is planning at this point

Very good video and very good speaker he clarified everything he spoke about thank you.
Can you use this on Corvettes and Dodge vipers?
WOW this guy is bitching the whole time and about people bitching about them. maybe you need look inside your glass house before throwing the first stone.
So the honeycomb pattern doesn't need abrading? I ask because I have a Ford Grille I would like to do the same to. I am worried the Raptor will flake? It's almost impossible to abrade those areas.
Short n simple. 👍
Can be used on a manifold? That means I can powder coat over it and it wont lift during bake process?
Caliber buyout coming next 🤣
Been a body tech for 11 years Started when I was 18 and currently 29 and the industry is in a big down fall I see no hope Insurance companies don’t want to pay techs what they deserve to repair a job Estimators don’t fight for the techs For a average pay of 18-25 body tech this is not worth the headache and my health Now I’m on my way out looking for a different career path
Your 100% correct, I’m a tech, I’m 20 been doing it since 17. Way to hard of work too dirty and hot and bad for your lungs back shoulders etc. going down to 34 hours a week next month so I can become a nuclear engineer.
This Raptor paint is going to be going on everything soon(not literally lol) going to coat my travel trailer front exposed hitch metal, my trucks hitch under truck. Going with 1k Raptor on my 22 inch matte black Camaro ss wheels that faded. Going to coat the front rebel style grill and matte black xd wheels that faded bad to almost ashey gray with 2k bedliner paint. Might attempt to coat the side steps on my Ram too, chrome just scares me for adhesion. Have a old harbor frieght trailer i will coat with bedliner also. Just need to figure out proper prep for going over old wheel paint(not peeling or any issues, just faded) and the chrome sidesteps.
Anyone know if any over the counter gray colors in the Raptor 2k bedliner paint will come close to mineral gray paint used on Rams, Dodge etc.
Gimmick product, over-engineering for the sake of over-engineering. Think AUDI .
