Does anyone do this as a add on? Who do you use as a supplier?

I looked at the system sold by Glass Mechanix, Looks good but kind of expensive.

Heard it is a waste of time.Labor intensive,no longevity of repairs,comebacks.Used for used car bizz for quick turnover.

Easy to learn? You are a LOT smarter than me then. I did training alongside people doing interior repair training, i'm just not smart enough to do that. Don't have the patience. Money can be made in it, but you can't be as dumb as me! :biggrin:

I agree with the time consuming and I often forget with an Art Degree and being a fairly well known Sculptor I didnt have problems mixxing colors to match and the plastic fillers etc are the same material I work with in my sculpting
So I guess I should refrase the previos statment to "for me it was easy to learn" that said I still chose to pass on it I found the competition does a good job for a very low price and I could make better money doing paint repair and plastic recoating s an add to my WR with little or no competition in my area.

Don't know anything about this service but the vendor I run into at a couple of my lots uses FABRION if that helps. I believe they are a franchise also. Seems like his rates vary from job to job also based on what he said.

For me, It just does not get any easier than the WSR process. Selling is the takes the most effort. From what I have seen other ad ons usually have more setup and prep time involved, but also seem to warrant more money for work done.
