  1. Jeff, Any time we have bare metal we need to paint at the body shop, we spray a metal etch primer over it. Just scuff it with some light sandpaper, and spray the etch primer over it. Dupont simply calls it "metal etch primer" they sell it in spray cans for small spots, and in qt cans for larger jobs. Finishmaster in Conway sells it. Just my 2 cents. good luck


  2. I am a little confused on how to match nozzles to my pressure washer. My pump is a 5.5 gpm, 3500 psi. So the formula equated 5.8797 which means I need to buy 6.0 size tips, right? Using that same math, can I buy say a set of 4.0 tips and lower my pressure? If the equation is right, then that equals 3062 psi. I'm guessing that's how it works... And I did use the search button, that's where I came up with the info I have so far.


  3. Ya'll say to find a niche and stick to it. uh huh. Doesn't that mean I still need to try it all to find out? And too, in this area every tom **** and harry has a lowes pressure washer on a 4x8 trailer and is trying to do houses for nothing. So doI even try to do houses or do I have to do houses? The flat work like gas stations, and bank etc. would be great but I can't afford the environ. equip. to start.


  4. I am just starting my business, and the due date for this years YellowPages book is only a week away. In my area the are several big ads for pressure washing, and a LOT regular listings. Should I bite the bullet and place a big ad? It costs $139 a month! vs. $50 for the little bolded ad. Thanks for the help.
