Wink Any autobody Video Requests?

I have been getting alot of feedback and questions on repairing panels or painting grilles. I enjoy teaching and helping others, so I am asking the forum if they would like to see any sort of video made of anything specific as far as repair techniques.

Maybe bumper repair, grille painting, repairing a crack?

Let me know and I can record my next job that matches up with what you are looking for.

thanks

-Brian

I've always wanted to know how to do spot repairs on bumpers. My TL's seen better days and all of the scratches on the bumper are under the clear/paint but there's no gouge in the plastic.

Do you do spot repairs often? This would be a great video!

Spot repairs are not a recommened method of repairs. It is actually easier and better to finish the whole panel.

Not really needing a video but I would like to know more about your diy booth. Do you use positive pressure and keep the lights outside the tent, or did you put down some cash on those crazy priced explosion proof lights and fans.

Also, do you replace the plastic constantly, or is there a way to clean it.

Also, also, do you use a charcoal type filter that takes the smell out of the air or just more home filters.

I'm interested in videos of fixing/repairing rust, especially around the rear fender area. Hondas/Acuras are notorious for this problem.
