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 Guys

As you have had no replies yet, I will ask if you are serious about this.
Cellulose is not a product that you should want to use on your car.

Cellulose is ok - you just have know how to use it. Once painted and polished it is as good as anything else for the same colour which mine will be as it is a flat colour.

"If you know how to use it"...

I can't believe your going to use Nasty poor quality paint
Soft and shine free very quickly
After spending 10years painting the worlds most expensive cars I would only use it if I wanted to sell a car

I agree with you - the only thing being is that using 2K or Water based is going to require an oven etc. I could prep my car and see if I could get a decent price for a job with the latest paint systems but I would like to paint my car myself if possible...

Ovens are preferd how ever if the area is dry leaving over night would be fine
Adding 5% extra hardener/activator would do the same job of an oven
I'm not keen on baking fibre glass as if there are any tiny air bubbles in the panel the paint will blister
But it's your call all you need really is a heater of some sort just to keep the chill off and to keep the air dry

What about the toxic side of 2K - surely I would need an air mask with its own air supply etc?

[bionicjim]

You should use a air mask with cellie as well doing a car you will be in hospital with out one

[rev-erend]

Just a point - using celle without an extractor can leave a lot of residue overspray dust on the car that will probably need fine paper to remove.

The warehouse - if you find one will need to be swept to remove all dust..

I painted my TVR using celle in my small garage in gulf colours. Just mounted the car on dollies and pushed the car side to side.

If you add ament on going down this root
A make shift paint booth is cheap and easy to make basic recipe is
3x2 frame covers in clear plastic
Strip lighting
Air mover fan mounted in one wall close to ground level with a opening in the opposite wall this will pull the over spray to the bottom of the booth
And some heating
Or you could pay to rent a proper booth it depends on the finish you won't
