OTC Visits Collision Repair ~ Kalley McClure

sketch out the idea
On the days winding down to winter break, Tom Banks, a custom paint instructor from Ohio Technical College, visited LCCTC for a day to teach the students of Auto Body to do the same: Custom Paint.

Apply the first color
Finished product!
Mr. Banks gave us a project giving us all white painted boards, masking tape, and razor blades. He then proceeded to talk us through painting a realistic American Flag.

Now, unless the average person owns an airbrush gun, it is kind of impossible to do this at home, but with our resources in Auto Body, it was simple!


Thanks for the lesson OTC!
This fun little project was really not that hard -- even without any airbrushing experience. It was a fun lesson, and, according to Brittany Hawke, AB senior, it taught the students to “not to give up on themselves -- even if it didn’t turn out exactly as imagined” or something went wrong; the final product will still turn out pretty impressive.
