Questions & AnswersHi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now, Tony's painting the second coat on the top of the hood and the deck lid. We have three paint booths at our shop, so it allows for a great deal of flexibility. So he's able to get the car all ready to paint and all the pieces ready to paint and he can shoot them all at the same time so he doesn't have to repeat processes too much. He's going to get a nice, even pattern on there from one end to the other. He leaves the paint gun on. Since he's just spraying the paint off into the air, there's no need to key it on and off each time. He's wearing a nylon suit that we get from our paint distributor that makes sure that everything is clean. He doesn't have any dirt from driving to work or eating lunch on his clothes. Tony's been at this for years. He's very methodical, very careful. And this paint job, oh look at that.
