My buddy has won awards for his paint and body work. I helped him take 3/4 inch body gaps down to 1/8 or less. He paints like a machine. He no longer paints for anyone who isn't a friend. But he made a lot of money and spent it on equipment and a new garage. It's what I did with camera stuff too @nem. Just make enough to buy more toys.

Is it a good thing when people come to you asking to have their vehicle and motor cycle ceramic coated?

Did I tell you guys that I volunteered at the Vietnam wall Memorial? Really grounding. I feel extremely grateful. It's been so hard and dark in my life lately. Boy did that do something. There is an app, and I used to help pull up the location of the name on the wall. People could do rubbings of the name etc. When I pull up the names, it would often have a photo, and so many times a veteran would fist bump or grab my phone and hold it. The stories were incredible and they really have no one to listen. They felt so disenfranchised, most of the volunteers were kind and sweet, but 99% were local NPR type people and they really had no empathy it seemed. Lots of sympathy, but these men had a friend die next to them in some cases.... It really made me leave that thinking about how it is important to find a way to have empathy even when I may not want to. I hope I can keep that drive to be more empathic for life.
