Painting in Niagara?
Permalink  
 


I'm not ready for paint quite yet, just looking at options. I'm looking to get my car into one colour fairly soon-ish. I can spray it, but I don't want to do it in my unheated, dirty garage. I've sprayed a couple coats of primer in there and there's just no way to get it even remotely dust-free. There used to be a "your own garage" with a rental booth in St.Catharines, but it's gone, and I've talked to a couple of body shops and they aren't interested in letting me rent a booth or spraying a car they didn't do the bodywork on. So I'm either looking to rent a booth if there is such a thing, or looking for someone to shoot this thing for me on a budget.

Still needs finishing and more sanding, but it's getting there. Struggling with the sheet metal around the headlights, punching above my weight class.

Andrew, you might try talking with some of the Automotive Paint jobbers to see if they could recommend one of their customers for you. Most automotive painters have a shop at home or a place that they rent to do some painting on the side.
Your car is looking good.

Hey There Andrew, would cost you a few bucks to get it here to my end of the world but I can get you in to a booth fairly cheap

if you want to have it prepped before hand...

That might be a good option Chris. I'm going to feel around here but might think about taking you up on it. Distance might be a problem, I don't have a car trailer anymore, only have a dolly... and don't have a vehicle big enough to tow this pig! Got rid of my Magnum.

I guess we could probably do a price on spraying with a round trip too, we do have a trailer too...


If need be, too bad it's this year, the fellow who owns the booth just moved from Niagara a couple

paint seasons back, actually has a booth dissassembled at his parents home for sale in the Niagara

region still, wanna buy an older DeVilbiss booth?
