Okay now Tony's checking his gun pressure and his tip pattern mixing the air and the material. You can see that there's a disposable bag in there. It's like a baby bottle, you mix the material in this bag and you just throw it out when you're done, instead of having to clean the gun every time. Tony's kind of an above and beyond kind of painter. A lot of guys would just ignore this step. The cars pretty well in primer, everything is pretty well ready to go. You could have problems getting in here and doing these little spots, but Tony's very, very thorough. I'm the boss; I'd never know if I'm on the phone, he could just shoot the paint now.
