Yellow - Nope still rocking all four different colors. I am the first and the only to do that.lol (I mostly think because most people wouldnt wanna ride around in a PRIDE mobile.) But its all good the green photos are old when I had them all green and then I saw yours so I changed them.
I was actually lucky to get started in the business. I was working part time as a lot attendant when I was in highschool. I talked to the manager and asked if it was possible to get in the body shop my company owns, and when I got out of high school I took a 3 semester Auto Body repair and Refinish course at a local tech school. I worked as a grunt in the shop part time and going to school. When I graduated I am now a combination guy at the shop. I am I-Car plaitnum certified and Sikkens Refinishing school trained.

what materials do you use?
I use ppb dbc for my basecoats
dt870 for reducer
dupont 7600 clear over reduce it about 10%
For most scions prime usually matches perfect! yet on some colors i have to use flop control to get the flop right :0
