Founding member offer — this week only
The Carsmetics Classroom is fully open. The Beginner Respray Course takes you through all 7 modules — tools and health and safety, rust removal, bodywork, primer, filler, panel prep, base coat, clear coat, and cutting and polishing. Every module comes with a full PDF guide and checklist you can print and use in the garage. From today until Sunday at midnight, it's available at founding member price — $79 (roughly £67) instead of $119 (roughly £97). PAY ONCE, YOURS FOREVER. Quick note — Skool prices everything in US dollars regardless of where you're based. If you're paying from the UK, your bank converts it automatically at checkout, and it works out to about £67 during this offer. This is for the people who've been here from the start, asking questions, posting your work, making this community what it's already becoming. I want to say thank you properly. Sunday at midnight it goes back to $119 (roughly £97), and this price won't come back after that. Everything is in the Classroom tab right now. Any questions, drop them below or message me directly. — Faizul

The Classroom just got a lot simpler
I've gone back through everything and restructured the Classroom to make it clearer and easier to navigate. No more confusion about what's in what. There are now just two courses: Beginner Respray Course — 7 modules covering everything from tools and health and safety through to rust removal, bodywork, primer, filler, panel prep, base coat, clear coat, and cutting and polishing. Start to finish, bare metal to a glossy, finished respray. Everything you need to properly learn this trade from the ground up. VIP — Advanced & Business — 3 modules for anyone who's ready to go further. Colour matching with a spectrophotometer, 3 stage pearl, and how to actually turn this into a business — setup, licensing, insurance and pricing, covering both the UK and US. That's it. Two courses. Every module comes with a full PDF guide and checklist you can print and take straight to the garage. The free taster guide is still there for anyone just getting started and wanting a feel for the process before committing to anything. If you've already got access to any modules, nothing changes for you — you keep everything you have. This is just about making it a lot easier for anyone new finding their way around. Have a look in the Classroom tab. Any questions, drop them below. — Faizul

@Casey Coady "Great question. Wheel wells are one of the trickiest spots for rust removal because of the shape and the amount of surface rust they usually carry. My go-to is a 36 grit disc on a mini grinder — it cuts through surface rust fast and gets into most of the wheel well without too much trouble. Work in overlapping passes and keep the grinder moving — stopping in one spot generates heat and can distort the metal if it is thin. Once you are back to bright bare metal, treat it immediately — bare metal starts to oxidise again within hours especially in a damp UK workshop. Hit it with an etch primer the same day to seal it. A few spots the grinder cannot reach — tight corners, the very top of the arch — go in with a rust converter on those areas, let it fully cure, then etch prime over the top. Then build up with 2K high build primer before any filler work. Never fill over rust or over bare untreated metal. Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on. Anyone else dealing with wheel well rust on a current project? Drop a photo and I will take a look."
