🏗️ NEW SHOP UPDATE! 🏗️

Over the weekend, we got the shingles installed! Yesterday, we wrapped the building and got all 9 windows installed.

We’re getting closer every day! The goal is to get everything sealed up before this Michigan winter hits.

It’s been a lot of work, but seeing it all come together is incredibly rewarding. Feeling blessed! 🙏

Ever wonder if A.I. can actually mix automotive paint... or if it's completely clueless?

🎥 Video Name:
Can Al Actually Match Automotive Paint?

👍 In this video, I let Al control the tinting process and followed its instructions exactly - no overrides, no "fixing it," just straight execution in the booth.

📌 As a professional in the automotive refinishing world, this goes against everything I would normally do... but that's what makes it interesting

❓Did it create a perfect match... or completely ruin the color?

✅ Watch until the end to see the final spray-out and decide for yourself. If you're into paint work, body shop content, or want to see how Al stacks up against real-world experience, this one's for you.

👇Let me know in the comments: Would you trust Al to mix your paint?

Time to get some shingles on this new shop! 🏠

Hopefully, we’ll have the roof finished this weekend! Winter is just around the corner, and we need to get this building sealed up before the snow arrives.

We’re getting closer every day! 🔨

Is I-CAR worth your time and money?

🎥 Video Name:
The Truth About I-CAR Training Nobody Talks About

✔️ Is I-CAR training actually helping collision repair technicians—or has it become an expensive, time-consuming box that shops are forced to check?

✔️ In this video, we’re having an honest conversation about I-CAR: the repetitive courses, time away from productive work, questionable real-world value, costs to the shop, and why so many technicians have a negative opinion of the program.

✅ We’re not saying collision repair training is unnecessary. Modern vehicles are more complicated than ever, and proper education is extremely important. The real question is whether I-CAR training is currently the best way to deliver that education—and what could be done to make it more useful for working technicians.

❓ Is I-CAR valuable, a waste of time, or somewhere in between? Let us know about your experience in the comments.

What’s your favorite color to spray? 🎨
What’s your favorite color to own? 🚗

It’s crazy to see how much the automotive color landscape has changed over the last 30 years. In 1996, red and green were everywhere. Today, white, black, gray and silver dominate the market.

But we want to hear from the people who actually work with these colors every day…

We were saddened to learn today that our friend, Dale Miller, passed away in July.

Many of you may remember Dale from his years working with Sata, Iwata, Sagola, and several other companies throughout the automotive refinishing industry.

Dale was a familiar and respected face to so many of us in the industry, and he will certainly be missed.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Dale’s family, friends, and everyone who had the opportunity to know him. Rest in peace, Dale.
