If you supply the paint and all materials you can get a good job at a Macco.
Work out a deal to do after hours so the car can be left in booth overnight.
Make sure you see what they are capable of first.
For what youll spend on a good gun and tent etc you could pay them and a generous tip too.
How far are you from Daytona?
Buy enough paint for a couple cars....... Ive got a Firebird thats ready too.

I haven't found a GOOD Maaco around here yet. I'm about 500 miles from Daytona. You want your Firebird Meridian Turquoise, bring it on up. I'll be happy to practice on yours before I do mine...

Just remeber to have the fans blowing in for positive pressure. That way any dust or pollen floating around won't get suck in around your seams and the bottom of the "booth". Don't aim the fan towards the car though, put it in a corner on the side and aim it across the end. Have a good filter on the outside of the fan. Put the fan outside of the booth and cut a hole in the plastic and duct tape it real well to the booth. That way you have no fumes actually going through the fan. Set up a bench in the booth so all your "stuff" is in the booth so you don't have a bunch of trips in and out. I'm probably forgetting something but will post if I think of anything more. Can ya tell I've done a couple "driveway jobs"?

That's surprising but I'm listening. I would have thought that I needed to have the fan blowing out and drawing air in through the filters.
I had already thought of having my pushcart inside for my supplies. When I get my 'booth' made, I may come up with a checklist for you guys to look over.
