It's a dark green. It was pretty funny because everyone was like "Wtf? Green!?" and then when it rolls out the paint booth we were like "Damn!!" Thought it was going to be some loud bright *** green lol. I love the color though, should have been offered stock.

That is an awesome shade of green! I love dark green, or really most any green depending on the car. But the gold stripe isn't so hot (should have left it without the stripe, IMO).

Yup, it's a shop for normal people. Not some $10,000 for paint only shop. Go read the thread in the Texas section, don't feel like arguing about it again.

That's just where all the cars chill before being detailed. I work with a bunch of Mexicans and they don't care at all about their working areas. Combine that with two lazy white kids that have had their hours cut because of school and you have a perfectly blended hell hole.
Seriously though those ************* don't care at all. It's so annoying how they just throw all their **** on the ground but hey, gives me a job. That area was perfect about 20 minutes before that picture lol..
As long as the paint booth and oven is clean it though doesn't really matter, that's the only thing that affects the paint. We keep that clean at ALL times and go to the body area and clean up when we can.
The amount of trash and dust generated from one car that needs body work is just unreal, you wouldn't believe it. Now once you start sandblasting cars you get a beach. Mix that with some rain and you have what we call, "Playa de Ruben."
It's a massive thunderfuck of water, sand, paper etc haha.

Yeah, does look like a real shop. . . But, it's not the area that dictates the work in a lot of cases.
Look how nice **** looks at a stealership, yet you car still gets man handled by goons most of the time.
