Hey Guys,
My name is Brian and I am currently 22. All my life I have been hands on and building something. It all started with legos. A the age of 18 I started working with fiberglass and that pretty much became my nitch. Since 3 years ago I have been operating my own business. I specialize in OEM Replication. This pretty much means fiberglassing something custom and making it look OEM in the customer’s car. It is what I love to do.
For the past 2 years I have been lingering off to paint and body, as it is something I value just a little bit more. I paint on and off. I would like to better improve my painting skills so that my fiberglass projects can be painted by me and not by someone else. More so I would like to actually do mobile paint repair. I have everything setup for paint in my garage. I have been lingering on this site for the past 6 months. I know everyone here and there is alot of great talent. I look forward to using this site to help me solve my on and off problem of clear coat application.
Here are a couple links to my work!!
Hi Brian,
Glad you made it & welcome. Just looking thorough your gallery and man that is some nice looking work! I always thought mobile paint repair seemed interesting but I can tell you spot repair is a much bigger challenge then normal full panel jobs. Before moving on to spot repair you should try and get down painting larger panels. Blowing in some colors will drive you up the wall.
Thats some really nice work.
What products are you using to paint your dash trim pieces? Seems to match pretty good.

I have no intetions of getting close to spot repair, but more of full panel jobs. Something really attractes me to bumper repair. It must be because I work well with plastic. Anyhow as you mentioned, I need to get my painting down first. With no formal training, it is a bit hard, however I believe when your self taught, you learn so much more through your mistakes
:welc Hey wow that is some nice fab Nex …. painting is the easy part , your already doin the hard stuff . 😉
You got that right! The majority of these fab jobs are all sanding, and pretty much shaping duraglass with 36grit. You know how fun that is!
The painting is the easy part, but I need to find a solution to the problem I am having with my clear coat. Need to keep practicing to try and eliminate these little pin holes in my clear. I know I can elminate my system as I have it rigged correctly for mosture and oil.
Welcome!
Post some of your work here; in one of the categories!

Anyhow, the fiberglass stuff is pretty much simple. Sort of how “simple” it is for your to paint something, well that is how fiberglass is for me. I plan to improve on the simplness of painting hehe
