Scenery – A tutor is explaining how the spray gun works to a student.

Harrison – “Being in the booth is quite zen to be honest, you just get in there with the panel you’re going to be spraying, spray gun all hooked up mask down and you’re just away with your own thoughts spraying away until you get the job done. It’s quite peaceful.”

Dave Selby – “The students that have the most success are the ones with passion, you’ve got to have a passion for paint refinishing and bodywork, attention to detail is critical.”

Dave Selby – “If you’ve got a smashed up car and you’ve got to put it back to where it was at the beginning it has to look immaculate. So attention to detail, patience, a passion for the job and you’ll go far.”
