paint it on your driveway. will still look good. Seriously. it can be done.

and it makes your neighbors some of your biggest fans.

I was gonna do that but the driveway is F-d UP (Don't Ask... LOL), so Im a just make a small spray booth out of platic for the lip kit and bumper. As for the car... I need a bigger place. If I could... I would. Plus I think one of the Neighbors will call the cops.... TOO SMELLY!

If you do it in sections at a time, may not necessarily have alot of fumes.
But ya, if the houses are close together, may make a difference.

check out my car that we sprayed on the driveway. No cover, etc.

WOW!... thats awsome. Im respraying the same color over the old paint, so Im a just sand the car down a bit with water sanding paper and go for it.

Im a talk to the neibors to see if it's cool with them Im just spray for two days for 2 hrs each day and see what they say( kit & Bumpers one day, body the second). They have known me since I was a little kid so I think it should be fine. But still... to be on the safe side. I should get a booth.

OH YEAH... Great job on the @ home job... Looks awsome. I hope mines turns out just as good

N E 1 Else knows of any place to rent a booth?.... LA area, or North Hollywood.

ya do sections at a time. We did the jams, then did the engine bay, etc. So it wasnt the whole car at one time. And when you're doing one coat at a time and waiting to do the next coat. Its not like you're spraying the whole time on that small section.

Good luck man.

sicivicguy

..... NOPE!... Nothing there??? Am I missing something? LOL

Thanx though...

Sooo.... Here's the dreal. There is a guy on Craigslist renting a booth for $100... THE WHOLE DAY! But he's in Palmdale, 1hr from where I live. Should I just make the trip and paint the whole car in one day? Would probably be better cuz I wouldn't have to stop shooting and clean the guns for a secong day of painting. I could just paint the whole car at once. Is this worth it.

The guy renting the booth has a 1,000,000 btu heater and Air supply... in the add it says that the spray booth is "VERY CLEAN"... So should I?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ go for it.i would do it on a weekend or take a few days off of work.personaly i would drive down there and look at it 1st

sicivicguy

I was thinking about checking it out first too, but the probelm is that IT'S 1 HOUR AWAY! LOL
I am taking next week( Manditory Vacation ) Wen., Thurs. & Fri. off to do all this... Plus I don't work the weekends and Monday is a Bank Holiday (Im Off... :-) ). Wen. Im a watersand all the bumpers and lip kit. Then Thurs. Im a wet sand the rest of the car... Im thinking of spraying Satarday. I am e-mailing the guy and asking questions before I agree to anything.

I think the place would be a hell a better to spray then spraying in the drive way cuz:
1. No ticket
2. Got everything I need
3. $100 for a day seems to be better then $100/hr.

The only problem is the distance ... Urrggghh!!! But it's worth it, I think.
