Somewhere to do some paint work?

My daughter just ordered an 08. I want to give it a custom paint job when it comes in but I don't have a place to paint. I turned our garage into a music/recording studio for her so that's out. I don't need much, just a garage or shop and I could be in and out in a weekend. I'd be willing to do some paint work for trade. I'm a teacher now but I used to run a paint shop back in the 80's.

Thanks,
Jay

Oh Jay (jx3)! How about helping out and help him find a place? How about yours in trade for fixing up Dorhy's older sister of Amys?
NEMO lives in Tampa, no Garage!

There is a whole county in between us. Don't know much of any place north of central Broward. But my garage has been restuffed, H4T would probably have more room in his garage, even with studio.

Yes, the Q could use any exterior help it could get.

Maybe someone who goes to the Towers could help even if not HHR?

She ordered black on black. The plan is two tone similar to the Unique Performance car only with yellow on the bottom seperated by a silver swoop.
http://www.uniqueperformance.com/HHR.aspx

Other plans:
Gold Line springs are on the way.
Cut the grill into a 3 bar
Paint some yellow pieces on the inside
18" chrome wheels (haven't decided which ones yet but we're going to autocross in the ST class so they can't be over 7-1/2" wide)

She's a good girl. She works hard at the movie theatre, gets great grades in honors and AP classes and most important she treats people right. She doesn't have to pay for the base model car but she's paying for everything else.

you can build a "spray booth" out of pvc pipe or 2x4's and clear plastic dropclothes and use a box fan to pull the vapors out of the booth. did this for my old kameleon monte carlo and it came out great.
