    Shop tune up

    A little re do of the shop following the European trend in lighting and color. And I can tell you it does make a big difference in finding defects! Dark gray walls , all LED lighting with all having a CRI of 90 plus, and 5000k. Focused lighting with the scangrip lights. New movable gladiator cabinets fully stocked with Griot’s.
    Thanks for looking!

    Mike Lambert- Looks good!

    The LED lighting must confer a number of advantages, and I see your GG Wash Bucket setup too..

    One Q though- Why all the small bottles of product (many with sprayers)? Something you give/sell to customers?

    Boy, you weren`t kidding when you said you went all in on the Griots!

    Re-arranging my shop means swapping the snowblower w/ the lawnmower.

    Edit: Where`s the Modesta-filled cabinet (or safe)?

    I can tell you it makes a huge difference in seeing defects when all the light is focused on the paint, especially on white or light colored paint.

    I get them from the rag company, 400 for coating removal, I really like them for Modesta but they get tossed which is a shame.

    Looks great.

    Have you tried the edgeless 300’s? They are good for coating removal.
