  • Preparation work required prior to the application of foundation materials.
  • How to choose the correct foundation material.
  • Shaping and sanding techniques.

He has been in the motor trade for more than 16 years and has delivered Refinishing qualifications to students for over 11 years. Someone who has never before held a spray gun should be able to understand stage-by-stage, or they can dip in for precise troubleshooting and tips.
