Congratulations to you and your crew mates. Your work and your effort in teaching others has always been exemplary. I wish you and the new ownership the best moving forward. I do not do collision repair. I do restoration work and a lot of driveline components. I personally switched from PPG to Glasurit quite a few years ago, with epic results. I don't have experience with 100 Line, my experience is with 22 and 55 Line products. The color match and ability to research colors has been next level compared to PPG. The Glasurit clears are also very impressive. The coverage, productivity, and durability of Glasurit products has been outstanding in my experience. If there is one suggestion I would give, when prepping to shoot metallic base, the 55 Line works best with as smooth a primer/sealer as possible. So going that extra step with 800-1000 pays off with metallics. Some might complain about this, but if you are doing high end work you are probably already doing this on many jobs anyway. All the best to you.
@@DSPAINTWORKZ No, I don't understand. Please explain it to me, if you can. I talked about my experience switching from PPG to Glasurit, and I specified that I use solvent not waterborne. The point was the positive experience switching from one to the other. The info about finishing with finer grit was also in regards to previous procedures with PPG. So really, what are you carrying on about?
I hope the new owners and management are not oblivious to your extreme talent much less treat you like a number like so much of corporate America does because if they lose you as a painter.......it would SUCK to be THEM. Good luck Kandy Man in your new endeavor!
Out here in California the same thing is happening . Big corporations are buying all the independent shops as owners retire. Happened where I worked for over 25 years. Is the new BASF line taking the place of Glasurit paint line ? Keep us posted. Been retired over 5 years so I don’t know much about product line changes. Thanks Carlos
Where I work we use glasurit and baslac witch are both under BASF. Both paint systems are great. The baslac is solvent based but the coverage is awesome.
You will do great like always man, i remember when our was bought by QCG and we switched paint line from PPG to Sikkens, and honestly its been great these past 2 years!!
Good luck. I don't think I could ever work for a corporate body shop. I had a hard enough time working in a mom and pop 20 years ago. They didn't do things correctly, and these large MSO's are all about money.
Can you believe some shops use shopline or Omni if you put that on my car I will sue you and probably try to fight you my car or vehicle would never get repairs where they use paint that peels off in like 4 years
I've been on BASF 90 line for around 10 years and couldn't be happier . We did demo on 100 line and it was still new and they had to work out some issues. maybe we will again one day. But BASF is a amazing product you will love it over ppg
Always a pleasure watching your material that you do. It takes a strong minded individual , one with your experience and skill set to come and out and completly humble yourself to the changes and new learning of a system.. The transparency and all the honesty goes a long way for me personally, and I feel its safe to say for all the veiwers. All the best off luck to you and the original team, as well as the new team that has come aboard..Keep up the awsome painting and videos..Much appreciated!!!
That’s awesome my man! My shop was the same way helping with my 2 autistic daughters. Can’t wait to see your reaction with those BASF clears, can’t beat them.
The training should be cool, those miller machines are nice. PPG does training at the school I attend (completed the 2yr body work/paint program), they are great guys. I go over and chat with them when they aren't busy and it's always amazing to see the new paint products.
Man i have my own paint shop...i am happy...but i wish i worked in a workshop likely this...I think you are very lucky 😊😊By the way for me BASF is better than Ppg....And if you need an assistant....i will be there for you😊! Regards from Greece....Love the channel!
Good afternoon, brother.I always enjoy your videos ,I own an small body shop in Lakeland fl, we have 3 paint line's but my old one is basf Diamond we have ultra from Sherwin and DBC ,but my favorite one is Diamond nice and easy to spray ,my best wishes brother.
Dude! Thats pretty wild man! Hope everything goes well, right now we are actually in discussions at my shop with BASF and PPG, we are using Envirobase but our contract is ending and we are considering the 100 line also, BASF boys are gonna come out for a week and let us try it out. So please by all means!, let us know your honest opinion on the paint lines.
Yessir! Love 100line it’s the only I’ve ever sprayed I will say keep it wet brother. Can’t wait to see your take on it cuz some colors I’ve been having trouble with. That 45 degree angle too
Wish you the best on this transition. Sounds like they're moving in the right direction(aside from replacing the old boss. Hopefully wasn't hostile). They brought in some very high dollar equipment. I've sprayed the 90 line years back. I could take it or leave it. Not familiar with the 100. I think the Envirobase is more user friendly. It's unfortunate that health insurance is even a concern in taking or leaving a job. Important decision though. Good luck on the venture.
Good luck @kandyman. You definitely can do better with 100 line. Its fast and efficient. Im look forward to see 1.5 coats on the paint job and see how good it really covers. 😁
congrats, my shop got bought out by another company but the transition was not seamless and there was many issues with insurance, and getting new equipment like they promised. I hope your transition goes smooth k man
Awesome video mate 👍 I hope the transition has gone well for you I have experienced glasurit 95 line was easygoing to use very user friendly was told the 100 line is a step up again but I’m sure you will have it licked in no time 👍 Good to hear that the new owners have a family first mindsets makes me want to uproot my family and join you guys over the pond!😉 but good luck to you bro looking forward to seeing more content 🍻👍
Lots of movement in the auto refinish industry. Caliber Collision has been buying up and building facilities throughout the Midwest, as well, suppliers changing hands Hope they treat you right Kandy Man!
first one i ever see who is positive with a new owner :D . but then after what you told us all they seem legit, and hope they stay on the same path of making the workers happy, happy workers = good quality work = more work. gongrats.
Good luck with the new system, from what I've heard and people I've spoke to about it there's lot of good things about it and i really like the 1 visit method, i think they recommend a Sata RP for base coat and Sata have brought out a new nozzle set up just for 100 line for varied humidity situations. Really looking forward to seeing the applications and learning about this system They look like they are making a big effort for quality of work, looks a great place to work Best of luck and have a blessed weekend
Awesome news. I bought my 71 Camaro, that had been painted with BASF, and I didn't even realize they made auto paints. I'll be looking forward to your thoughts and experience with it.
I think you will love the 100line it’s real easy to spray camera shots work pretty good just always spray your spray outs get that new library going, and I recommend using their slower products like 5x 10x 20x everything lays out better stays wet longer. You will do awesome Kandy man 👍👍
PPG = Painters Prefer Glasurit. Seriously though, good luck through the Crash transition. This is only going to make your 'stock' as a painter increase. 100-Line is the latest/greatest and there is NO stopping it.
Props to you Kandy Man, I have a special needs daughter as well, and my job stability for health insurance has been a big priority for my life and family…best of luck with the new ownership and shop improvements. I hope we never need collision repair, but if we do we’ll make the drive up from Palm Harbor to Land O’ Lakes for your services!
Hi buddy all the best with the new owners looks like there good people snd still looking forward to your videos buddy :) hope you like the 100 line and can’t wait to see you spray it 👍 I have 2 autistic children and own my own bodyshop buddy so I know how hard it can be juggling work and family so all the best and much love to you and the family ❤❤
Good luck with the new organization! I know Florida is hot and humid. I used to live in Minnesota which is similar in the summer but now I live in hot and dry Idaho. I had an issue with one brand of urethane not setting up in the dry heat as quick as you would have expected and the result was sags. A little research found that a factory in England was experiencing a similar issue in the dry winter where the only difference was low humidity so they added a humidifier to the booth. I have never used BASF but when talking to a local dealer, I told them the humidity story and he said BASF actually has an additive for low humidity conditions. Based on that, I think you will be happy with the line. Looking forward to how it goes.
I hope the new paint line and new management works out well for you Kandy Man so good luck for the future and I hope the new paint scheme works better for you personally, I've never heard of the Crash Line here so I use the Kapci Mix scheme which does a great job for me I've never had any issues with the primers colours and the clearcoat from the scheme. It's great that they have sorted your insurance out for your daughter as family has to come first, I have a disabled daughter she had a very serious car crash back in 1991 so I'm now her carer which as you know is a lot of work and stress so keep going you are doing a great job🙏👍John UK
Congratulations 🎉🍾 can’t wait to learn with you Kandyman!!! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into each and every video you create. You’ve made made me a better painter and continue to and I just want to thank you for that. Keep killing it brotha!!!!
There is a learning curve to the 100LN but in my opinion is just the best out there. As an advise try to learn the spectrural curves I know is not easy but once you get it you get it!!!! And it will change your way of seeing the colors.
Good morning Kandy Man and good luck with the new owners. You will always be a great teacher as well as a great asset to whoever you work for. Your knowledge and work ethics are second to none. Enjoy your day in sunny Florida.
All of us that do this most of our adult lives learn to us multiple spray systems.. sometimes change is a good thing.. K man will adapt and be better than ever
I’ve been spraying 100 line since January 2023.. I have a lot of tips and tricks that would do you well. Not sure how we could connect but I’d love to share what I have learned.. I’m picky like you haha so I have enjoyed learning from you! So if I can help I would love to
@@kandyman5315 you’re going to want a sata 5500 and the 10/40 nozzle/cap for silver and charcoal metallics! The spray gun really has an impact on the blending for 100 line. Also note that that set up is designed for the E-40 mixing clear and reducer
Wow a lot of change! That’s cool that they care. The place I work at only cares about the boats going out the door it feels like. Glasruit 100 line? Basf I believe is glasruit and a couple other brands as well I think. I want to spray that line personally. Looks great to work with and I heard the colors match really well. The shop my uncle estimates for uses the 55 line.
THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE,REALLY LOVE THE DIVERSITY IN THE TEAM,AMERICA MELTING POT,THIS PROVES WE CAN ALL GET ALONG JUST FINE,LOVE YOU MAN,I PRAY THAT YOU ALL DO WELL❤❤❤
I’m excited to see what’s in store for you! Happy to hear they have a LUX shop for those high end cars that you work on. The new company should be honored to have KANDYMAN and team making the switch!

Damn, a lot of shops getting bought out, the time to learn is now
Good luck. I don't think I could ever work for a corporate body shop. I had a hard enough time working in a mom and pop 20 years ago. They didn't do things correctly, and these large MSO's are all about money.
They are buying them up in Texas too . No more mom and pops shops. All the equipment you need to do a job right .shuts a lot of shops down
Welcome to the corporation world i will like to see a 3 month update thank you
