Hi Grant. Thanks for letting us all in, on your first outdoor experience. I don't think many others would. But your a "Warts and All" type of guy. Great Job and see you in the next one. 👍👍👍👍
Having been a building engineer for just shy of 30 years I set up on my own recently, like you first job nightmare and had a few since but overall it’s great spent a fortune on kit and insurance and best bit of it cost 26 quid - good luck, subscribed I can’t do bodywork to save my life so watching you do these repairs outside is amazing.
Great vid mate.....A tip, put a large ground sheet down. If you spill paint on the clients driveway. They will not be happy, and you will be spending hours getting it off. I know been there done that, I now always put aground sheet down. Yes that job should have been $300 all day long. Swings and round about mate. You will love being a mobile painter, it took me 5 years to see the light. Very little overheads...Cheers NZ
Grant most corners are £180-£200, it’s easier if you bag it from the front wouldn’t use paper as if the wind gets behind it may hit the painted area. Great job don’t know if you have sides for the gazebo ??? But you will need 1
Great job mate yea it’s like where do you stop with damage to a panel your painting etc. new time need to put the gazebo over the van to stop it getting overspray to the death.
Hi grant , first day is always going to be trial and error, as you said , you have to take the good with the bad . Brilliant first look at life on the road , things will get better and less challenging . Keep ure head up , better jobs are just round the corner and we will see u blasting through ure work and we will be saying more of your cheery self . Keep up the good work , remember , the rear view mirror is for looking at the past and the front windscreen is for looking at the future of opertunities . Stay safe and keep well big chap 💪💪💪💪👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💙💙💙💙
Mate that was a really satisfying video to watch great work mate looking forward to seeing you progress as a smart repair van. And all the best with all your future jobs mate.
Corner is now best part of the car, well done for being so conscientious. It's a learning process to work on driveways, treat the first few jobs as getting paid to learn again! Managing customer expectations vs assessing the job on the quote is a bit different to being in a workshop. Stick to your prices though, you don't negotiate with Tesco for your weekly shop do you? Then again everyone needs to put food on the table. Great to see the first job, keep up the great work.
brilliant job,the lighting and extractor fan seems much 😀 ,i put an old non fluffy curtain i buy from hospice shops round wheels,these dont flap in the wind,if you ever need to get those number plates off then some good mole grips fasten up on the plastic round the corroded screws and can be usually removed with no issues,great content👍 thanks for doing these i appreciate them as much as everyone
Great to see the content out on the road. I'm sure you'll get plenty more of these , but at the same time you'll get plenty of quick easy jobs. Top job
Looks like you did a cracking job for the budget. You can understand someone wanting to add a bit of value and prepare for a sale without major restoration. As you say, if you walk away, what will you fit in the time gap. Brave man doing the shorts outside. I like my skinny pins all jeansed up come rain or shine
First job on the new venture is always going to be scary fella but to be fair you took it in your stride and got it nicely done, I will say that it was cheap and being your a good hearted bloke and went the extra mile for them speaks volumes. Take care mate.
Skills on show outside in the wind and it wasn’t a Ford. What was the rattle can for? You might want to make friends with some small dealers for steady work. Thanks for filming your first day Grant. Lady got a bargain.
Awesome job and can't wait more content. I think it's going to be even more enjoyable watching you out on the mobile repair side. Keep up the awesome content when you can. Thank you.👍
Hi Grant you done a good job on the car as it was day one on your new business project I am pleased for you grant all the best to you and your family 😎🔧👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hey Mr Grant I'm a fan of your vids I do mobile paint repair as you do but I like to watch your vids so I can be even better copying your technics. You should do a vid about your set up. 👍🙏
You'll find your feet and at the end of the day if the customer's happy that's all that matters! Just a couple of things I noticed and it's no criticism, I just wouldn't want a scam artisit to try their luck!... Get a sign to notify the public that you're working or get a "mind the cable type sign" . You're obviously insured but could help if there's a claim. Lastly, I'd use your company name over the customer reg plates, just to protect the customer and yourself (against fraud etc). Looking forward to the next vid!
Good job Grant - baptism of fire that one!. That's a case of the old dog you don't worry about too much and it comes out near perfect!!!. At least the booth extraction is good doing mobile!!. Shame you can't fit a retractable awning to the side of your van you could pull out and fit sides to, or another alternative is an inflatable booth, but would probably waste too much time using that - roll on summer!.
Thanks for your first smart repair video,obviously you've noticed a few more bits wrong with the bumper so how did you price the job was it by photo or seeing it first in person?yes þhink the next few days are showers so you'll need your gazebo I reacon,as you are a professional and soooo good at what you do will it start to annoy you that you can only do what your payed for like in this case you would have wanted to obviously do the whole bumper but they couldn't afford that?look forward to this journey with you,cheers
I guess the first job was always going to be a bit daunting, having to leave the cosy workshop and perform outside one's natural habitat 😂. But seriously, considering state of car and original paint the job came out first class. The colour match was pretty good too. Happy customers spread the word among their friends so you should get plenty of jobs lining up 👍👍
Great video and impressive job, sure your smash this new venture. Don't under estimate how far doing those little extras can generate repeat and word and mouth business. Quality painters aren't easy to find.
Adjusting to the weather elements is gonna be challenge Grant ..I’m sure you’ll master it in time. Your kindness with the job was noted..however mate you need to make decent living you’ve put a lot into this venture. Best of luck 👍
It's gonna work out ok, you've got the determination and skills to make it work What's happened to the booth, a lot of money went into building that workshop have you walked away from it all and transfered the lease and the whole contents
Looking like a great first day at work on the roads, seems like its nothing new to you,well its not really just the enverament thats changed and i surpose your standard of works wants you to carry on to do the best job possible but like this one it depends on the customer at the end off the day and cost so you just have todo wot thay want an move on grant, how you find spraying in the out doors is it any differant to indoors apart from wind, ?i dont think you'd want to spray an large panel in windy conditions.but it all fun an least your out an about and no place is the same as for no to days is the same,
Just put it down to being a new start up you sometimes need to do more for less but once your name is going about as being the mobile painter to go for it will pay off. Did you get the fuse sorted for the 12v socket.
Nice of you to take us on the road with ya, I can live the dream through you 🤣🤣 Van looks great with all the gfx on 👍👍 So hard getting a painting job round here 😣
Smashed it as usual Grant, so chuffed it's gone the right way for you, hopefully more in control and ultimately more money in your pocket at the end of the week without the horrendous overheads
Smashed it Grant Another great job Always doesn’t turn out the way you want Learning curve working mobile Many more great jobs to come Love your channel ❤️👍
Really good to see your first mobile job Grant 👍,like you said,you might come across quite a few jobs like this one you'll have to know when to draw the line on things like that of you might end up doing more than you bargained for ,so don't be selling your self short buddy 👍👊
Hi Grant. Thanks for letting us all in, on your first outdoor experience. I don't think many others would. But your a
"Warts and All" type of guy. Great Job and see you in the next one. 👍👍👍👍
