Help Respray Area Needed

[GV]

This might sound a silly request but I'm looking for somewhere to respray my car. I'm going to be using Cellulose so its safe enough to use but need somewhere big enough to paint my car without having to rush the job. I was thinking of a warehouse or large garage type enviroment - somewhere I could get on and do the job but with enough space to move about with a spray gun. Lockups are too small and renting a spraybooth is too much money plus they have limited time. My car will be prepped so all I need is time to strip, mask up, final body prep, paint, refit and drive out 3 days min 4 days tops. Anywhere within reasonable distance from London will do plus I want to pay for the the space if necessary

You guys with nice large garages don't know how lucky you are compared to us with terraced dwellings and a Wedge to keep!!

Thanks

I dont even have a garage...I sprayed my windscreen pillar in the street, My neighbour still hasnt noticed the red mist over the back of her black car..

PS:I did just phone a friend who runs a garage with a spray booth but he cant rent it out..Worth a try though...

Hi

I might have a few garages but all my major work still has to be done outside!

Great in the summer time but not so good during the winter!

I can't wait till my new garage is built, then I will be able to have a car totaly stripped apart in it and still have the four-poster ramp to work on!

Buy a cheap plastic marquee (ebay?) then sell it again after (ebay?)

Or make a temporary marquee out of 1 1/4" PVC pipe & fittings, with a big sheet of plastic on all 4 sides, roof and floor. No need to glue the joints, just whack them with a rubber mallet. It is very cheap and you may find a use for some of the materials. I did this with the compressor outside. Unless you can get a good extraction fan, you must use a HVLP gun.

Thanks for the idea about the marquee lads - I have space where I could errect that at work. Deffo worth considering.

wrong time of year for marque, you need to get temperature up on panels which you'll never achieve out doors ...........unless you set fire to the interior!!
