Pinstriping & custom painting leader shares talent, knowledge with Auto Body students
Davies Pinstriping & Custom Painting owners Dave Davies, Sr. and Dave Davies, Jr. are sharing their considerable talent and knowledge with students in Dan Bush's Auto Body Refinishing class. The students will learn how to design, layout and custom-paint hood designs. Located in Duanesburg, Davies Pinstriping & Custom Painting is well-known in our region for their work not only on automobiles and trucks, but also on horse carriages and historical restoration projects. Auto Body students also recently toured Kaiser's Body Shop in Latham. Career & Tech students benefit greatly from  the schools' relationships with business partners.
