Again, that depends on employee and supply chains. The specialty bodyshop business is a dying breed, not many want to actually go physical work, or get their hands dirty these days. Finding employees that actually want to work, who are not strung out on booze or drugs is getting harder and harder. As for the supply chain of materials, there is a lot going on within the manufacturing pipeline, that certain products and materials are hard to come by. Without getting political, the current administration would prefer we drive all white, plastic cars, with no paint products applied, as even the low VOC materials are not low enough for their liking. Again, California is the worst state when it comes to dealing with anything sprayed out of a paint gun...Just look at how they regulated weed eaters and backpack leaf blowers for a taste of what is happening quietly behind the scenes there. Then imagine bodyshops, skateboard, and surfboard manufacturers and you'll see just how far down the rabbit hole things are going for those industries.
