thanks chris
im just so worried i wont have enough work as most of my work is car body repairs but i think its the push i needed !!!!!!!!!!!
lets hope so any way
thanks rich -
you will be fine judging by the stuff you have put up,
will you do it from home or a smaller work shop which ever all the best and you always have here to fall back on 😀Lynn

Good luck to you, from what you have posted I’m certain you will be a success. And because of your background if you ever have to remove dodgy graphics from a vehicle that then would require a paint job then bob’s ya uncle, rita’s ya aunty.

thanks
Lynn i have a nice smallish office above my mates mot station low rent and nice surrounding I’m looking forward to the move but 15 years in one place is a long time i will prob still drive to the old workshop for a while ! -
best of luck mate… not only are you ready to give it a go, you have went through the process of training yourself up, getting stuck in and finding your feet. many franchieses invest thousands, hand back monthly a cut of earnings, pay high street rates, then all the usaual daily bills. if they can make it, why cant you? i know you can, i have every faith in you. 😉

Good call Rich 😀 With the sign work you produce, you’ll never look back! 😀 Good luck to you and if you need anything setting up in your new place, gimme a shout, always fancied a ride to Croydon 😀
Cheers, Dewi

all the best rich………. 😛
you won’t need it as you are well into overdrive 😉
(bet your glad though a wee bit eh) spraying seems a right tedious job 😉

Hi Rich,
If you ever need a hand, even if just for a day or two, I am just down the road from Croydon and would appreciate some work. Let me know if you need to see a CV or references and I will gladly provide. Good luck with the venture!!

Rich,
Most of us don’t walk into a book full of customers. It takes time. And the chances are that it will be slow at the start.
Don’t get disheartened, carry on putting out good work and word of mouth will carry you forward.
But remember, you are only ever as good as your last job. 😀
Good Luck Dude. -
Good luck, I’m sure you wont look back! 😀
-
Good luck Rich 😀

thanks for you support and i may be popping in to see you as a may have more time on my hands
thanks rich -
Good luck Rich
I’m sure you will do well with your new venture because you are comming at it with a unique perspective.
When it comes to replacing graphics on repaired or resrayed vehicles, you will have this vast knowlage store to draw apon that very few of your competitors will have.
I look forward to see more of your work in the future

You’ll do just fine Rich.
Remember to save for a rainy day tho!
Love….Jill -
Rich, can’t say much more than has already been said.
You’re amongst friends here mate, you’ll do fine I am sure. If you have a problem, we are all here to give you a hand.
It will no doubt be a sad day when you do walk away from the painting, but, you have the knowhow, the understanding, and the will, finding the work will be the easy bit… trust me.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Another thought would be to break out the airbrush and do Kustom painting.

You have the equipment and the know-how…..?
Might be a way to earn the big bux!
