When I was there, we had a lot more time in the shop, but still, it would take days to get something as simple as a mirror to get painted.

Mind you, it took 3 months. | Only $600? at VCC they say they only charge for materials but last complete I saw in the shop was like $2000.
When i looked through the work sheet, they were charging an hourly rate(from estimated time) from body, and paint for the materials.

Yes, they still are big on PPG. They do mostly water-based now.
$600 is pretty good, considering how waterbase paint is pretty expensive. When I went to BCIT like 7-8 years ago, they were charging $500 for a complete paintjob. Quote:

Mind you, it took 3 months. | You also have to realize its a bunch of students working on your car not pro's, which is really the main reason why it will take a while. They need directions on EVERYTHING.

yep I realize that a bunch of students will obviously take longer.
I was there about 3 years ago, before water based was introduced there.
Did you have John Sutherland as a teacher?

I would park by the park for free everyday. Or you can pay $4 for parking. Your choice.
Dan's the teacher for Level 1.
