Not as good as yours grinderman. I love your extraction system :lol::lol::lol:

This was mine a couple of years ago and you can see all the over spray on the floor. Neighbors must have loved me :no::no:

We sprayed under my house.... twice. Do you know how hard it is to do rust repairs, build the car, then paint the car all in my upholstery shop under my house! Upholstery shops are supposed to be relatively clean!

Suspected neighbours got jack of the sound of angle grinders, sanders and air compressors. Found golf balls in the booth and holes in the roof of the tarpauline.

Thankfully vw made the roof strong.

F#@$n neighbours..........

I am planning to build one this summer or the next.


Just going to make a timber frame tent, staple clear plastic on the outside and also some on the floors, Put a zip or some means of closing its off in a sealed fassion.


Add couple of truck air fillers on the bottom, and few extraction fans.

I still remember very clearly the sound of a golf ball that came spinning past my ear and bouncing off the roof of your Baja while I was spraying the air vents chris. Wanted to go shove that golf ball some where your neighbor shouldn't have golf balls :)

I haven't got a pic but my neighbour gave me a massive old spinaker from a yacht and I clamp that around the inside of my shed to form a booth , works a treat then I can roll it up when finished

Jeez, some of you have the luxury of 4 walls:starhit: The funny part is that the baja looks great and the whole respray cost $100. With a bit of elbow grease and some left over industrial 2 pac polyurethane the gloss off the gun is superb and much better than I expected for a car that will be driven offroad more often than not.

had to do a quick job on my "new" trailer to get it ready for the trip[ to Wakefield later this week...


lou0060 - May 21st, 2012 at 04:21 PM
