I would like to introduce myself, I'm 18 and I'm currently go to Atlantic Tech Center here in South Fla. for collision repair. I graduate in a week.. Boy it's been awhile. I need one more point to become I-Car Platinum certified. And I will be testing for ASE the next time around (I forgot the date) already signed up.

My dad also owns a body shop down here in South Fla, so that's also been good to me as well. I look forward to learning more here on this site, and hope to provide people with help as much as I can. I do have some pics of work I recently did, but let me know if you guys would be interested!

Thanks!

Welcome, Im a graduate of WyoTech with I-Car platinum certs as well....

Welcome to the forum. I am a WyoTech graduate as well. I teach collision repair at Butler Community College. Our students receive I-CAR point while attending the program. What all classes did you all take. I took collision/refinish and management.

I look forward to hearing more from you. Please share any useful info. with us. I would be interested in your pics as well. Which campus did you attend?

i took collision/refinishing and Custom Fab and hot rod building

That is awesome! They did not have some of those classes when I attended. I would have loved to taken them.

Here's some pics!
Hey guys, I decided since my time at my auto repair school is coming to an end, I should start taking pictures of my work.
I'm 18 btw. I've learned so much, I couldn't explain it.
All work pictures was done by ME. I would never try to take credit for someone else's work. Anyway, this whole week I've had the paint gun in my hand. So here goes, mistakes and all.
First car of the week. 2008 VW (Silver) Repainted the Left QP.
There was a hole here in which I repaired.

why wouldnt you blend into the fender on the lexus?? i saw you brought the paint pretty much to the edge already...

Thanks for posting the pics. Are you going to work for your dad's shop?

Most likely, but I'll find a job somewhere in case.
Nothing to lose obviously, lol.
And as for not blending into the fender, the damage was in the quarter and Rear door. And a ding on the front door (near rear door) So color was dusted in that area.. And the whole front door was cleared. Color was not applied to the whole thing.
