that is a very good point and if your market is to compete with production shops that have conveyor ovens and such you are doomed already, unless you have around 1/2 million setting around to start up a production shop. what we are talking about is starting off with a few car or bike guys, or the home owner that need something small and quick done. then the job you do will get around. i have a fellow coater that started out doing any part he could get and now only does calipers for high end cars. he turns away most other parts due to the volume of calipers he has. not to say that that is your niche, but you will find something that will be a good mover for you and then be the best in the state for that item and the work will be piled up.
