bucketep91 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 hi guys!A mate of mine has just aqquired a new unit in glasgow kitted out with a spraybooth/oven, 5 bays with ramps and all the tools you need, there is also a jig here too. Hes opening it as a 24hr DIY garage in the next few months when we get the place cleared out. For workspace/tools or access to the spray booth im sure i could sort out a uksc discount for you guys! He also has a breakdown wagon to bring your car here if its not road worthy/prepped for paint.im sure itll come in handy! what do you think lads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 ill get some pics next time im up, hes not a painter dude, in fact he knows next to nothing about cars, he has a great business idea tho and i think it'll take off. theres paint guns and everything here just bring your shit and paint it yourself:Ddont have a clue what his prices are gonna be but it wont be majorly expensive or no one will use it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoostJunkie Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Dont want to shit on your parade mate as honestly it is a fucking cracking idea and i'd love to get in about the ramps and booth BUT.This is not new this has been tried before thats what halfords was meant to be about most halfords (old ones) have garages at them that you were supposed to be able to book them out and use the likes of the ramps and stuff to work on your own car and hire the use of the tools but fell through due to health and safety and insurance reasons.so get your mate to fully check that out first and if it is all ok then he's onto a winner as if i wasn't f'ing off i would defo be interested.
