If you are then here are a few tips to help you start your auto paint shop business. Vehicle related businesses are probably one of the fastest growing businesses in the industry today. This is because automobiles have become a necessary tool in our modern, fast-paced world. A large chunk of the automobile business includes an automobile paint shop, more often seen together with other automobile services such as repair, detailing, cleaning and waxing. To help you get started in the world of automobile services here are a few things that you should consider.

Know the Auto Paint Shop Business

Putting on a coat of paint is not as easy as it sounds. It is a highly technical, skill based business that one needs to know and get acquainted with. It involves many techniques and many equipment to choose from. Any person looking to be successful in the auto paint shop business needs to acquire the basic knowledge and skill in auto painting. This may require you to get into special classes or even apprentice under an experienced auto painter. Getting the necessary training and experience is always the first step in starting your auto paint shop business.

Once you’ve acquired the necessary experience and skill in auto painting, you can now ask yourself what kind of auto paint shop business you want. Do you want to merely offer auto painting or would you like to offer other services such as detailing and auto repair? What kind of auto painting technique and equipment does your business offer? Do you want to just offer the usual and ordinary auto painting or can you do a more specialized, detailed and artistic painting on the automobile? What types of clients do you want and which age group do you want to consider? Answering these questions can help you learn more of what kind of auto paint shop business you want.

Finding the right location for your auto paint shop business

Once you’ve learned of what you really want your auto paint shop business to be, you can start looking into the best location for your auto paint shop business. This may depend largely on what your services offer. You may want to tie-up with other auto services business in your area so as to lure in more clients or you may want to start your business independently. Why not starting your auto paint shop business near a gasoline station or may be near a car shop? Also, remember to see to it that your building has enough ventilation and room so as not to suffocate you and your crew from the paint fumes. Following simple health and safety guidelines may go a long way in your auto paint shop business.

I mainly get business through word of mouth, I paint them for 200 or 150 if they bring the paint. Its a nice side hobby that I enjoy doing on the weekend only down side is can only do one car at a time, looking for a small shop right now but don’t really want to apply for business license and all that other stuff you need.Roy said on September 21, 2011I am a one man gang in St pete fl.

I am currently unemployed without much hope of finding employment at my old regular job. I am currently considering starting an Auto Painting Business out of my home garage. I am experienced with this type of work and my garage is already set up to do this kind of work with the exception of a regulation paint booth. Id also have to obtain the necessary permits, find out about zoning laws ,etc. My plan is to not really do collision repair work, just to do repaints like on older faded or rusted vehicles. With so many people keeping or buying older vehicles now, I feel there is a need for this type of business. I’ld do panel replacement and paint work but not heavy crash repairs. Id also like to expand into selling tires, and doing brake and exhaust work later. I would offer low prices like the guy in Georgia and hopefully go on word of mouth and local advertisement. Is this a fantasy, or could it be a good idea?Arlie P. Taladucon III said on August 24, 2013Hi.
