If it's not too late, here's a tip: make SURE the shop or booth is at least 70 degrees inside. You won't beleive how much better everything goes if the surface you're painting is nice and warm. Good Luck!

Shop or Booth? What's that? How about a garage.

I'm only painting it a black primer for now. Car was 5 shades of black, white and gray. I just need it one solid color.

Everything went very well. It will still need one more finishing coat however.

We still need to sand and prime all the front pieces as well. I give it another month until completion.

My bad, I thought when you said paint, you meant paint. I painted mine in my garage as well. As long as the floor is clean and the car is warm, it's no problem whatsoever.

Hey, some people believe black primer is paint!

Where is that football when you need him to back you up?
