Rapid progress indeed!
Great to see a 'garage' spray booth, and you are obviously well pleased.

Be good to see it out and in the light with wheels, and at your speed that will be by the weekend!

not every one has the pleasure of lots of money to pay for professional resprays , and use of ovens to do the work , what we done was cleaned out as much as we could washed everything down and done it , and had great results , and the work is to a very high standard , ie we do all are own work . owen nw

Excellent. I've painted 5 cars in my garage at home over all the years, never used a pro shop at any time.
It is surprising what can be achieved with a few simple precautions.

I've always used celulose mind, so quite a simple task unless it blooms...

the mate adrian owns a car components shop so i have access to as much paint as i want , the finish is great all in the prep , as good as any garage because we no the works done right not just the case of BETT IT ON GET IT OUT QUICK, SURE THEY LL NEVER NO. we have some air born dust and flies but some 1500 wet dry followed with 2000 and a good mop will sort that thanks owen nw colm
