Paint Bull began serving the automotive appearance repair market in 1989, working with Michigan auto dealers to enhance the appearance of their used car inventory. The dealers quickly realized the value Paint Bull brought to them when their vehicles sold faster and for more money than ever before. Today, the company that started with only a couple of service trucks is leading the country’s largest affiliation of independent mobile auto restoration business owners.

With more than 20 years of successful growth and product development, Paint Bull has applied their experience and resources to offer a proven turn-key business opportunity for you. As a Paint Bull Affiliate you will operate your own business - a convenient, affordable alternative to the traditional body shop. You will begin your business with everything you need for success – equipment, your own customer service area (CSA), full business training, and continuous support provided by the most dedicated team in the industry.

Paint Bull’s “We Paint Green” logo is a symbol of commitment to sustainability and has proven to be a competitive advantage. As a leader in the industry, Paint Bull introduced water-based paints and new processes to adapt them for mobile applications. Paint Bull is dedicated to using environmentally friendly materials to ensure paint bull certified affiliates not only repair vehicles better than the competition, they also meet Epa regulations.

how do yOu get into the automotive appearance repair industry? Paint Bull offers four comprehensive Business Programs each focusing on different types of automotive appearance repair – paint repair, paintless dent repair, interior repair and the ultimate program, where you learn to do it all. As turn-key as we can possibly make them, each business program consists of three segments:

1. Repair instruction and technique: In Segment 1 we focus on teaching you to repair damage up to body shop quality standards.

2. in-field experience: In Segment 2 you and a personal instructor will work on customer vehicles to hone the skills learned in Segment 1. Here you will gain experience and confidence to get your business started quickly.

3. business instruction and development: The objective of Segment 3 is to turn our Affiliates into successful self-employed business owners. The cornerstone of any successful operation is a detailed business, marketing and financial plan. Paint Bull believes this side of your business is just as important as your ability to perform repairs properly. In Segment 3, you will focus on five areas critical to the success of your business:

• business structure – Sole proprietor, LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp – which is right for you and why.

• marketing – Learn how to market your services with our Affiliate Coordinator.

• accounting & Finance – Learn how to use accounting software to create invoices, track receivables, payables, profit and loss statements and more.

• insurance – From basic liability to garage keepers and property damage, you will meet with an expert to make sure you are properly insured.

• promotional materials – Business cards, brochures, hats, shirts, pens, coffee mugs – all designed to professionally promote your business.

Like any business, your start-up costs will vary based on the program you choose. But regardless of the program, your start up investment includes training, required materials and continuous support to help you succeed. Each Business Program provides two full weeks of extensive training and all the equipment and supplies you need to get started. (The Ultimate Business Program provides four weeks of training.)

The following pages offer a closer look at each of Paint Bull’s Business Programs.

“Right after I finished training and got home, I parked my new trailer in the driveway and right away the phone started ringing. I had five estimates to do in one day for retail customers and from people who drove by and saw the info on the trailer.”

The Paint Repair Business Program will not only teach you how to fix virtually any damage found on the finished paint of a vehicle, it will prepare you to be a successful business owner.

the paint Repair business program will equip you to repair:

• Basic clear-coat scratches

• Stone chips

• Scuffed and torn bumpers

• Gouged rims

• Key scratches

• Faded plastic parts

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) has changed the way car manufacturers, body shops and insurance companies look at small dents and dings. In the past, a small dent was filled with body filler and then repainted. This process was time consuming and expensive. Today, this minor damage is removed by massaging it out from the inside of the vehicle panel.

Metal has “memory” and when metal is dented it simply means that a stress greater than the metal’s memory is preventing it from returning to its original shape. PDR Affiliates learn how to remove this stress by inserting specially designed tools into the damaged body panel and pushing on the dent from the inside. Paint Bull PDR Certified Affiliates are trained to fix the dented metal as well as accompanying minor paint damage, giving them a competitive advantage.

While PDR is the hardest program to learn, it can also be the most profitable. It is not uncommon for a skilled PDR Affiliate to remove a door ding in only a few minutes with no product cost and charge $50 to $100 for the service.

the paintless Dent Repair business program will equip you to repair:

• Door dings and creases

• Small dents

• Hail damage

• Stone chips

• Clear coat damage

Some PDR Technicians choose to focus on damage caused by hail storms and make great money traveling from one storm to the next!

Selling a used vehicle today is not as easy as it once was and selling one with a cigarette burn, ripped seat, stained carpet, or bad odor is next to impossible. Nothing stops a sale faster than interior damage which ruins the appearance of an otherwise perfect car. This is what makes the Interior Repair Business Program so appealing. It is easier and less expensive to repair the damaged item than it is to replace it.

the interior Repair business program will equip you to repair:

• Leather, vinyl, cloth, plastic materials

• Interior burns and rips

• Interior scuffs and tears

• Stone chip and clear-coat damage

While Paint Bull concentrates on the automotive market, many Affiliates find huge profits to be made in other mar-kets as well. Restaurants, hotels, marinas and RV dealers all have furniture and seats that get damaged.

Learn to do it aLL! With the Ultimate Business Program, regardless of the damage – stone chips, scuffed bumpers, door dings, ripped seats, faded headlights or chipped windshields, you can repair it all with confidence. With the Ultimate Business Program, our Affiliates often add employees or a partner, allowing each to focus on a particular type of repair.

Because there is so much to learn in the Ultimate Business Program, training is extended to four full weeks. If four consecutive weeks away from home is not an option, we will work with you to break the training up into convenient modules. Once the training is complete and you are back home with your custom trailer, business plan and marketing materials, we send an Affiliate Coordinator to your town to assist with making sales calls. Their goal is to compli-ment your Segment 3 marketing training with face-to-face sales calls within your designated customer service area (CSA) to help you secure accounts. Our Affiliate Coordinators have years of firsthand experience in establishing new Affiliates and helping them to generate cash flow quickly.
