    A booth with the new building

    Good point on the explosion proof switches and light fixtures. As far as the size, will be painting full sized vehicles and smaller items to. Will also need to use the space while not being used for painting duties.

Even if I did have a few issues regarding the inside bits, I would think if I erect the building myself the cost savings would more than make up for the minor costs encountered by insulating and installing an "Inner" wall...

    Occasional Heat for Garage work

    I use a torpedo heater, adjustable 75,000 to 150,000 BTU's..... but propane fired. And while they still need some ventilation like the Kerosene fired ones , they do burn cleaner and don't give you that Kerosene smell or soot. most run off standard plug in and 20 to 100 lb. propane tank
