I work for Farecla as a tech rep. I get to see loads of bodyshops. Alot of the smaller ones are finding it hard due too the insurance companys giving all their work to the bigger ones.
There is alot of expence running one due to waste disposal of paints, thinners etc. Also it now costs loads to get rid of old bummpers. Wages are a factor as getting good staff, you need to pay a good wage or they wont stay!!

Sorry if that sounds a bit gloomy, if you do go a head, good luck!! Give us a shout and i will come and demo all my Farecla polish.
