A 5W oil is typically what’s recommended for winter use. However, synthetic oils can be formulated to flow even more easily when cold, so they are able to pass tests that meet the 0W rating.

Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no obvious signs the timing belt is near death; it will just break. That’s why highly rated auto mechanics recommend replacing it every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Always check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Generally speaking, most shops will spray two coats of clear coat and two or three coats of paint. For us, we practise at least 3 coat of paint.

Downdraft spray booths bring air in through the ceiling and down through the floor into an exhaust chamber which is exhausted at the rear of the paint booth. Downdraft spray booths will provide the cleanest possible finish. It is what is used in high end auto body facilities due to the clean finish provided.

As your paint or other spray coatings dry, dust and debris can settle onto the surface. This can lead to an uneven, pitted surface, or even reduce the longevity of your finished product by leaving surfaces partially exposed.

A spray booth provides an area free from dust and other debris so you control what’s applied to your products.
