Opening a custom-painting shop in the US - thoughts?

I have trouble remembering 20 minutes ago...but, for some reason I can remember 20+ years ago perfectly fine

AAHH ... continual retrograde amnesia. If I don't park in the same space at work each day, I might not make it home at night.

Someone above nailed it.....you'll have a time of it, trying to make it on custom work. It's nearly all insurance work.
**We are a restoration shop primarily.....but it operates as a sales and carshow venue as well. We are a rarity though (and we hemorrage money). Paintshop is a tough business....I don't know of anyone that made it on paint alone. Not here in Florida anyway
