paint booths and professionalism

[chopshopcustoms]

Id be weary . I was a backyard painter for years and yes , turned out some really nice stuff- in fact my own 56 CHevy custyom was painted in a cover-it tent BEFORE I was a shop owner back in 2000.

Id still suggest using a licensed pro shop. If something goes wrong - you have a profesiional who will work WITH you to make it right.
Also- what if 'Joe Backyard' was working on your car and the city/town found out -shut him down - and took your car?

Ive seen it happen.Not a pretty sight to see the car owner running after the tow truck (NOT Flatbed) while it drives off down the street.

Not worth the cheaper rate IMO.

Plus, there is much more crap in the air unless its controlled.

yes a good paint job CAN be donw that way, but why have stuff already stacked against the jopb before it starts?

Just my 2 cents.

Actually, if you own the land and the garage door has to be closed. You also have to the right filter setup, actually mine has been approved by the city. You are only allowed to paint on your own cars. The EPA limits the homeowner on what he can spray per year. Of course, you could always lose your car in a professional bodyshop, for example (Unique Performance).

I remember one car that your company did in the past. The photos have been pulled from this site, but hopefully you made it right with the owner. I never seen so much dirt in the paint job. Was you painting that in a booth?

I have been down that road in the past (1985), but the bodyshop owner wouldn't fix the paint job.

Be glad- we cant paint anything around here on our own property Only using a booth (at least not legally that is). The EPA and local officials would beat down your door with an axe- probably because its city.. Sometimes I wish it were country around here just for the fact peole would be a bit more lenient on things like this- its not like we are dumping toxic waste into the drinking water!!!LOL (which actually is what happened years ago here in Woburn- ever heard of the movie 'A Civil Action" (I think thats what it was called)with John Travolta? That was about the Grace chemical plant a few miles from me in my town- so they have a tendency to go overboard...
Although I personally think thats a good thing. Better safe than finding out you will glow in the dark 15 years later....
