"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we are going to do some work for you on Expert Village. Now Tony is going to mask the floor. We have 2 paint booths, one of them is a down drafting booth. This paint booth is a modified down draft, we have a older style paint booth. Tony is very conscious worker the standards he is held to he has to be very careful to make sure he is getting the very paint job possible. Cover up the floor and any dirt on the floor would not cause you problems. Some guys wet the floor before they go in there but it is a shame if you drag your hose through the water and spring water on the car, it is a mess. So now it is cleaned in there, all taped off and Tony is button up the front doors. He is going to start the heater going inside there to get the metal up to spray temperature. "
