General Disclaimer

Although attempts to follow the most up to date standards and practices are always what we strive for many techniques and regulations can change from the time we write about it to the time you actually want to put it in practice.

Automotive Refinishing is a dangerous process that exposes you to a variety of different hazards that can take your life or the life of those around you. You must always approach every task with full seriousness and understanding of the products and tools you are using and always follow Manufacture Warnings and Directions completely.

Respiration and Eye Protection is mandatory at all times. If you can not put on products that will safeguard your health then go get a second job to earn the money to have a professional do the work for you. This is not a joke. People do lose eyes, lose parts of their vision, lose fingers, get electrocuted, get seriously burned and DIE while doing their best to follow directions and safety procedures. IT DOES HAPPEN not every day at every shop but you can put money on the fact someone in the USA working in our industry ends up in the Emergency Room every single day of the year.

For this reason you may not use this website as your only source of information on how to perform a procedure.
