learn. And now that I have a few years under my belt, I have a better idea about a
bunch of things… Mainly, I need to be a better businessman. And I’m on it.Keeping the overhead low is obviously critical. And being a small timer, I’m not
tied in to any brand. Tried quite a few low to high-end stuff, and quite frankly,
the base hasn’t been all too important; it’s about the primers and clears. And, like
Jim, SPI is it.What works for me? I’m very good with people.[/quote]

yes an no ive chosen ta do things the way i do an dont let anybody tell me otherwise i do alot of differnt things an have spent alot a time thinking about where the moneys at in this buiss trust me the best money a guy makes in this buiss is running a sharp pencil in the office plus being able ta deliver ya gotta always think about what your making on the job an how fast you can make it i based the success of my buiss on the 800$ complete an have never had ta do one :lol1 but im not to proud ta do anything if the moneys in it even mech stuffta be honest im not afraid ta charge top doller for what i do that helps plus i spent 7 yrs rebuilding totals b4 i opened my own shop had my own shop for the last 15 yrs an im kinda the go to guy if ya dont have ins plus i get lots of ins work to boot not to many shops like mine around low overhead but if im doing ins work i charge as much as the next guy but…..if your paying outta pocket i go easy an have ways of still making as much if not more than the ins work just look at that suby thats a cust pay job get the idea
