should i prime and paint it at home in a frame build garage that i will make to trap overspray from getting on anything or should i prime and paint it in a paint booth that i will rent. are there any other ways i can do it . whats the pros and cons of both of the ways.

If you got the money, rent a booth. Otherwise, prepare to so lots of dust nib sanding if you use anything else. _________________ 3Bugs

like 3bugs said if you got the money a booth is better but you can get the same results at home if you make you booth right make sure its not to big with a fliter blocking fresh air and a good fan pulling air out which you should use a fliter on to but you need good air movement and a clean spot to paint so make sure you clean the area good before paint |

The only thing that matters is the last coats so the best, most cost effective way woud be to do all the prep/primer at home and rent the booth for the color coats. Best of both worlds at 1/2 the price. |

That's a good idea Big Jim. If he base coat, clear coats, he can cleanup the base coat and spray the clear in the booth. _________________ 3Bugs
