Material Profit Tip #7

COLOR CONTROL IS CASH CONTROL

38% of a shop’s paint purchases are color.

Every extra ounce mixed and never sprayed comes directly out of material profits.

Winning shops:

* Know the target color before mixing.
* Mix accurately the first time.
* Spray out when needed.
* Save and track usable leftovers.
* Eliminate unnecessary overmixing.
* Get paid for everything they do and plan the repair for success. Get Paid for Blend Panels! Don’t waste $250 in paint because the estimator didn’t write to blend! shows your work!

The Bottom Line:
Color waste is often invisible because it happens a few ounces at a time. But over hundreds of repair orders, those ounces become thousands of dollars.

Remember:

You don’t make money buying paint… you make money by getting paid for materials by planning a good repair and spraying the right amount of the right color 1 time per job.
