thanks
I just couldn't see renting the booth multiple times and just keep on paying and waiting for the booth to be open. since I'm not a pro painter I figure I'll have to use the booth a lot of times and the cost would have been wayyyyyy higher than what it cost to do this. and I have 2 others to do after I get done with this one.
So far I'm into it including screwups(oh yeah I made a few before things started to fit correctly and I figured out what/where things went to work right) about 450.00
I had some lights, plastic sheeting and electrical stuff and a few sticks of 1 1/2 pvc laying around so the cost stayed down. if you had to get it all I'd say about 600.00 to do it all. I probably didn't need all those lights and it would have lighted up with 1/2 the lights
if your only going to do 1 car and be done with it I'd just rent the booth.
