Missing talent and real experience/ painting in that atmosphere will not excite the neighbors and will not get along with the town rules/ you are using 1960 technology / modern paintbooths cost around 400grand to pass the pollution rules

The permits, the EPA is getting real nasty about the do it your selfers, especially in a residential zone, you might get away with doing one or two cars. but last I heard the first fine is 25K. and if your planning on starting a business, oh your in for a treat, lets see, inspections from the fire department to make sure all your chemicals are stored to there liking, and in some county's they have the compressor police, yea they come in and make sure your compressor is secured, then there's the EPA, your gonna love the VOC log book you have to keep. oh and if you don't have a forced air filtered booth forget about getting your permit.
