When we talk to people about the difference, the main thing we point out is that while the factory training is good for learning the basics (I went in 2016), it stops there. Our training, and the training at certain other shops, gives you the same techniques and understanding that you get from the factory, but with the knowledge and experience of a shop that does this as a day to day business, not just as a training facility. Think of the scenario where if Sherwin Williams was offering a painting class vs a painting company. Training for us isn't a money maker. We close the shop for the three days we train, and the money we could have made working on projects is roughly what we would have made being open. We really enjoy interacting with people in our industry, and often pick up tips and techniques from the people attending. We train to make our industry better. One final note, we are far from a small business. :)

We are always looking for new tricks. Good info. Thanks!

If there's anything we can do to help, don't hesitate to reach out.

Our compressor settings never change. The gun settings change with every color. We do things the way Cerakote used to train, which in my opinion was a more precise way of application. It would be a super long video trying to cover gun settings. We do got over it all in our classes.

We get that one every once in a while. It's a personal decision. With the equipment we have, the risk is very minimal.

Totally agree.

It was a fun one.

She did a great job. Thanks for watching.

She did a great job.

Yep. Compliments of our local VA clinic.

I think we have one more episode, then the voting begins!

@ awesome! Can’t wait!

We have our ovens about 5 inches off of the floor on a plywood platform.

Andrew is our lead applicator. Thanks for watching!

They were a lot of fun. We are already planning season 2.

@@BransonCerakoteI better be getting an invite to season 2 lol 😂

@@tylerlee1547 It's all first come first served, lol.

@ well we know I served it up to my brother on a gold platter haha 🤣 no mercy

We have three.

Thank You. Maybe, I can pick up a Branson Cerakote patch for a Condor hat to match the one on my shirt jacket.

@@davidbrooks4294 Absolutely. We have a ton of patches.

A lot of people do those things (we do too), however Cerakote is known for being a firearm coating. Also something to keep in mind, once word gets around that you are spraying Cerakote, gun folks will start showing up.

The wheel can be savage.

Good info. Thanks for sharing.

Lol

The random stuff makes it fun. Forgetting to put hardener in happens to everyone, but sometimes it happens at the worst moment.

@BransonCerakote one time, I forgot to bleed the air compressor. The water in the lines gave finish some what of a rhino lined texture. It was a cool mistake, but still had to start over.

@@splash1791 Yeah, water will kill adhesion. Happens to us all.

We had a great time with you. Y'all are welcome back anytime!

Great job guys . The both came out great. Good luck to you both 🔥💯

MC5100 would probably be the best choice. The others will work, but 5100 is designed to adhere to polished surfaces.

I think episode three is yours? We are already planning season two. We have been talking to a big company about some big things we can't reveal yet, but we are pretty excited.

@ Oh Wow!!! That’s awesome! Sounds like big things are coming soon! If there’s a way I can help or be a part I don’t mind at all! And yes I think I’m episode 3!!

@@PTXGunWorks We'll keep you in mind brother. Thanks for being part of the family, and being there during the crisis, lol.

@@BransonCerakote you guys are awesome! And I’m just glad I could help! lol if I ever change careers I might go for a field medic 😂

@@PTXGunWorks You did better than Laura, lol.

Hey brother! They both turned out cool. If you ever get back our way again, make sure you swing by the shop to hang out for a few and catch us up with what's been going on.

All of the projects were totally different and cool at the same time. Everyone did a great job. We have five more episodes coming, then we'll have the wrap up episode where everyone will vote.

We'd love to have you. The training is a lot of fun, and a nice break from our normal week.

@@BransonCerakote will keep visiting your websites for dates when training will be conducted

We have both fiber and co2.

I think what made the show fun was that every project was different because of the randomness of the wheel.

You guys were a lot of fun. It def helps when everyone has the same sense of humor and can keep it loose. That yellow is a project killer.
