whites are pretty tough to butt match. doesnt take much to throw the color off

Insurance wont pay shops in my area to blend adjacent panels on quarter panel relpacement jobs so it comes down to having a good paint system.[/quote]
What? so if you replace a quarter, they dont pay to blend the door? thats fukin stupid. when do they pay to blend?no such thing as a straight white 😉
panel paint bumpers, blend everything else.
without digging a pit, you can go with a semi down draft, or a full down draft with a raised basement.
Not sure of the quality of the americure booths. never seen one. dont like the idea of the center ceiling blowers. honestly corner blowers are probably the most effective. with good airflow, your horizontal panels are going to flash pretty quick on their own. its the sides and bottom areas that need the most help.
as far as pricing, have you actually had anyone come right out to your shop. You want them to come out, check out your layout, and give you a firm price that includes the installation. get prices from multiple companies. and see if you can check out installations at other shops so you have a point of reference for quality. In this economy, you should be able to work them on the pricing. I know a few years ago, they were practically giving away boothsI have seen a lot of makeup units outside. Not ideal, but it will work. Also I know Garmat and I think at least one other manufacturer has setups with all the mechanicals on the roof of the booth

[quote=”statestreetautobody” post=25738]i thought that the hip charcoal filter was what made it grade D air[/quote]
Ya, but you need to have good clean dry air coming to it. At least a 3 stage filteryou dont want to paint the parts separately 😉
All the above is good advice, but the first step to a show car finish is with the body and prep work. if that isnt done properly, then the smoothest of paint wont mean a thing
the ppg code is 911264. if color pro has an option for looking up competitor codes try that. if not, it’s a solid red. should be able to find a chip in the deck that matches pretty close
see. should have went with PPG instead of that Wanda broad :p :rofl :rofl :rofl
