Tech Tips

How are you doing? Welcome to Tech Tips with John Russo. In today’s tip we will be going over part one of the three steps to creating a show room quality paint job. We are working on our Rolls Royce Silver Cloud for this tip series, however these steps can be applied to any vehicle you may be working on. Be sure to check out both sections A and B! Enjoy!

Section A will be going over how and why to lay down a guide layer before blocking.

Section B will be explaining blocking, what to do, and how to use the guide layer to get flawless results.

The Process

Below are some detailed step by step photos of the car with the guide layer and then moving into the blocking process.

Here at Palm Beach Customs we focus on creating the highest quality product possible. Along with over 35 years in the business our team of top body and paint pro’s use many techniques and materials that were not available for the original mass-produced versions of these vehicles.
