Paint Correction Class

[Greg Gellas]

First of all, thanks to Eric (Howareb) for helping me out with the class and allowing the use of his BEAUTIFUL shop. We had a great turnout and everyone was able to get hands on and learn a few things. We had some great food and got to meet some great people. Thanks to everyone who attended.



Secondly, I would like to thanks the sponsors of the class who sent out supplies for us to play with during the demonstrations and then at the end of the class, I raffled the supplies off to make sure no one left empty handed. Without our sponsors, this is not possible. So I truly mean it, THANK YOU!!!



The sponsors are as followed.



Megan @ AutoGeek



George @ Detailedimage



Phil @ Detailersdomain



Kevin @ Kleen Car



DaveB @ High Definition

Note: The clock in the backround, it`s nearly 4am and Eric and I were still up from 8am the previous morning. We cleaned the shop, got everything set up and ready for the class that was taking place in 7 hours. With some music jammin, and jokes that weren`t funny (although when your that tired, they are hilarious) the time went by and I would do it again if I could.

One of our guest, Tom agreed to use his car for the test vehicle. Thanks again buddy!! Before we got started Eric and I were taking turns giving classroom style instructions on proper techniques and products. Then we took a short break, had lunch then got to work.







We gave Tom, the car owner the first crack at machine polishing.

DJ, is it possible to get another one of these classes together after the holidays? I am home from school for a couple of weeks and would like to sharpen my skills before spring time.



Thanks
