I have entertained the option of adding a lightbar up front. Need something up there anyway as the front end looks a little bare. It all comes down to money though.

Painting is easy, as long as you have a good consistant spray source, and an area that doesn't have a cross breeze. Sealed off garage or such..

Ive heard the painting isnt half as bad as the prepping. They say a good paint job is really mostly good prepping.

Hey agent, how would a guy go about getting a instant garage dust free?

By instant garage, I am assuming you mean one of those tarped ones right?
