Nice shop Eddie. Be sure to give us the address and heads up. Granted, I like to do my own work, some stuff is not feasible in my driveway and/or I don't have proper equipment (i.e. A/C stuff).

+1 on the paint booth. I'm not looking for a $3000 triple clearcoated show quality job, but I'd still like something quality. Just wondering, does he do minor bodywork? I'd be down for a paint job...hell if it turns out OK, discount or not , I'd refer all over.

ok my bad you all!! The Paint booth is just there. My dad doesn't do any body work or painting...sorry

Alot of people have been asking me about renting it out to do their own work etc. I am gonna talk to my dad and see what we can do. Anyone want to take a gues on a fair per day price? (be real guys)

The property is my dad's and no one else's! No leasing, renting anymore. It is a nice feeling since it almost an investment and ultimately could be mine if i choose that career path. Almost the same 'cept i am going to school to fix people not cars

That's cool. Did the previous owner leave any painting material there (like guns, compressors or whatnot)? I'm seriously contemplating painting my 240 all flat black with a matte clearcoat. With professional sprayers and such, it would not look DIY at all. I just know that unless I mask/dissasemble it, it won't be done the way I want it to be done. Keep us informed and good look to your pops!

+1, i'd like to have someone paint my car, but i'd like to be the one who can help mask everything off and disassemble/assemble. nothing irks me more than overspray on radiator visible behind a bumper. and i'm either looking for a factory super black respray + clear obviously, or another form of black like bmw M3 cosmos black or something..meaning i dont need to do door jambs and such since you dont see that anyways. (under hood and under trunk are a basecoat black too)

I can only supply the compressed air and electricity(and of course the exahust fan) Everything else would have to be supplied by yourself.
