hmmmmm........ if you can work something out with me, might be able to use my father in-laws garage, he has compressor and we can put up a plastic wall, other than that he has fans and stuff to vent out everything, thats where i shot my car.

i used a lot of flood lights to light the entire garage up, forgot the wattage it was pretty high wattage though probly say about 500watts per light i used about 8 of em set em up in different parts of garage and different angles, i could see everything. It turned out fucking awsome though, no runs, no over spray. no miss shots, no cooking of paint, flaking,chipping or any of the results youd get from a heat source being too close, had everything set up just right.
