It really helps when you got 3 booths at once. One for the Body, One for the Bumpers & a double wide booth for the Doors. LEON.

either way, your right, three booths is better than one. :2thumbs:

I'd be happy even with one of those. Can't beat downdraft booth with nice lights like that one.

No tape, edge is a plus, but depending on colour, this can some times be a no-no for me at least.

We used 2 painters but I put the last drop coat, mist coat (whatever term you want to use) on all the parts to help even it out. All rubbed in pieces. Once bolted together everything matched up fine. I prefer to paint metallics together but I don't call the shots here. LEON.

The lighter the colour gets, the more you are playing with fire !! .  Shop I am at , had me do a 3 stage (tri-coat ) in pieces. I told them , if its off you are paying me to paint it again !!
