    Some cabs i sprayed at work. I never remember to grab my camera as I am heading out the door. The white is our standard color, the blue is something i haven't sprayed before. Enjoy. I'll be addding some pictures on this quad colored striped cab we are doing right now. I sprayed the first darker blue on it friday.

      The autocars are mainly used for trash trucks. They cab only no frame the bigger box looking thing is called a shuttle wagon, they are more or less a trolly car, used in mines and tour guide companys. We also paint ottawa yardgoats.


      Yeah hand sprayed 20 plus cabs a day. 1.25-1.50 gallons of paint per cab....

            Nice work! Be careful about advertising your spraying skills or you may come into work one day and see a 100 yard lineup of Festivas waiting to be painted!

                Very nice! Is it polyurathane paint? What kind of respirators do you wear? Newer paints have some nasty stuff in it. Especially when doing it all the time like for a job where you get more exposure. That blue looks just like the blue on my econoline. Man, I will drop by with my Festy and you can squirt it so it matches my truck.

                            Depending on who you ask, all paints have some nasty stuff in it. ;P

                            Glad you guys wear protective clothing.
