A car paint shop that succeeds without a mixing line

Matias Friman started his own car paint shop, T:mi Colorshine , in October 2010. Matias said that the hobby eventually became a profession. He was very satisfied with his choice and currently he is mainly employed by insurance companies. He paints approx. 150 cars a year, and most of the work consists of spot painting, not overpainting.

What makes Matias' painting shop special is that he doesn't have his own mixing line, instead he buys, for example, all metal and acrylic paints from Automaalit.net. He said that the lack of a mixing line is not a problem, but that he plans the work in advance and orders the necessary products 1-2 days before. He uses the Mipa color atlas supplied by Automaalit.net, which he uses to define the shade precisely before ordering. Fast deliveries are therefore a very important part of the operating model. Cooperation with Automaalit.net has reportedly gone well - both in terms of deliveries and product quality. Cooperation with Automaalit.net has continued throughout the paint shop operation.
