Thanks. That is House of Kolor Tangalo Pearl paint and the console is my first attempt at making one of those. You never know what will happen when you give a hillbilly a saw.

Thanks John.
Yes I do my own painting but not buffing.
I really can't give my secret ventalation away. All I can say is Lowes window fan.
Not much of a shop at all, but its home. Its a little bigger than a phone booth ( 24 x 18 ).

I've been toying with the idea of painting my panel myself, just not sure if I could hold the gun for that long,lol. I'd have one big mess to clean up before considering it though. My shop is just a few feet wider than yours so shouldn't have a problem that way and have a squirrel cage from an old furnace I was thinking of setting up at the window and a frame with furnace filters and clear plastic sheeting to let light in the main door to the shop, was also thinking of building a temporary tent inside the shop to eliminate a big clean up later. If and when it happens hopefully it will turn out as nice as yours.
