[QUOTE="Jim Bush, post: 165403, member: 3807"] There are several big issues conspiring against would be home painters to be aware of: 1 - local by law compliance, Even if you build a lovely booth like Magnetoman exhibits above and have all the right air supplied respirator, exhaust and heat, you are dealing with potentially flammable substances, chemicals in the paint that can potentially cause harm to others (neighbors). Local government frown upon home painters for doing this. Worker Safety Boards also. All it takes is one neighbour to get a whiff of paint fumes and call it in, to put an end to it. I often paint in the middle of the night, or winter when there is no one in the yards around. 2 - the best commercial paint products and systems are not generally available to the general public. It usually takes getting alongside a local automotive paint supplier to be able to order the right products. Our local auto-parts stores have many rattle cans of semi-good stuff for that quickie coat as a stop gap. One way around is go to an internet source. For the USA there is the TCP GLOBAL site that will ship your order without question. I buy my House of Kolor paints from them and have it shipped to a mailbox near the Canada/USA border and go pick it up. The black epoxy system I use is local, when I buy it, I get the "hairy eyebrow" look as I am not a commercial account, I am only buying quarts at time, not 5 gal buckets. Some shops have signs on the outside door "We Do Not Sell to the General Public". Tricky stuff. I don't what the future will hold with these endeavors, meanwhile paint goes on.... [/QUOTE]
