Yeah, I know what that's all about. They are in a hurry to grow up, and we want them to slow that down!

Pat I am building one. My Vortex liners doesnt require a spray booth but it is alot easier spraying trucks with one. I took a metal carport and converted it into a spray booth. I hung a tarp on the front side. I can back the truck in, Drop the tarp between the cab and the bed, mask the bed off and I am good to go. I also cover the cab of the truck with a drop cloth for extra protection. There is no way for any over spray to get on the truck.

What i like about this system is it's portable, all I need is a 120 15 amp plug. it is a low pressure system. I spray with about 10 psi. There isnt much over spray. I can coat anything that can be painted. i have 200 colors available.

There is so much I can do with this machine. I'm not just limited to spraying trucks. Now if I can just spread the word around my town about it. I have found that is the hardest thing about starting a new business. I am coating trucks for 3 dealers. It is just getting other customers that is hard.
