Quality and ServiceAt E&M Auto, we stand behind our service and the DuPont products we carry above all else. We recommended a system from DuPont Industrial Coatings for Greg Pinkerton, General Manager of Atlantic Fabritech in McGaheysville, VA. He had this to say: "...this system came out way ahead in thickness, coatability and ease of use. We solicited opinions from our painters as well, and it was just hands down, nobody wanted anything but the DuPont paint." "We have had no issues with E&M. It's like calling a member of your family. They always ask 'Do you need it today?' It's never 'We can't get that to you.' In fact, more than once, their reps have dropped paint off on their way home at night. They have gone completely out of their way for us." 3M Learning Center (visit online)Don't wait for the right training seminar to become a better refinisher. 3M's Learning Center is full of great video tutorials and how-to advice geared toward industry professionals.

*Airbrush Clinic with Instructor Darren Wenzel THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT AND WAS A PART OF THIS GREAT EVENT! 04.30.11 — 8:00am-5:00pm w/ Lunch Furnished! Register at E&M in Harrisonburg for only $175 — Limited seating! Darren began his trade after high school enrolling in a sign painting apprenticeship which was a 4 year program, learning to hand letter before computers took over the trade. He focused on mainly sign painting for the first ten years working in various shops around Australia. He then bought his first airbrush and began to practice after hours and then began producing a lot of airbrush signage. After a few more years, he started to get more into the custom paint scene which now is 90% of what he does. In 2007 Darren got his break and the opportunity to come to the states and work after years of traveling back and forth. Razor custom paint in Virginia sponsored him to come over and work for them. Over the three years he learned a great deal with them. He recently moved to Austin, Texas to start his own business called "Gasoline Art" which is now keeping him busy in getting it up and running.   |
