Painting is something that the paint shops in my opinion charge too much for. I bought one of those inflatable paint booths after watching a gazillion YouTube videos on them. I was $700 for a 10x20. I have painted things outside, which is ok for smaller things, but for a whole truck I needed a booth. Being in the south we have lots of bugs...and they love checking out fresh paint.

Your confidence in my abilities is inspiring, good sir, lol... Paint is a good ways down the road for me. I mainly want to get my bodywork done, gaps all set, and a good coat of primer first and foremost. Its gonna be a while before I'm ready for paint.
