It's the xpr-10 and installed wide. But my arms don't seem to reach assmall far is they should either.

I bought and had a bendpak 2 post xpr lift installed about a month ago. Have had problems with the arms reaching the lift points of some vehicles and not at all on others.

I am not trying to be confusing just want the best layout with least wasted money as possible. Also the booth will be sealed fixtures either new ones or used ones if i can find a deal on used t8 fixtures. Sorry i am out right now so my chappyphone rrendering will have to do lol. So you think...

With storage I still will have open storage above the paint booth and sealed storage above the main work area with 7' ceiling not counting the basement on my house. Doing body work and fab work makes a mess everywhere and I like a clean work area and tools. It's a lot easier to clean with less...

There will be no other cabinets or anything on walls besides over the work bench on that side. And when I will be working on one car at a time once it's blown apart they take up a decent amount of room. All the panels will be on stands spread out over the work area along with body and sometimes...

Also any recommendations on bulbs? I haven't found a place local that has 4100k 5000k and 6500k to tell a difference in color but most seem to think 5000k is closest to natural sunlight and 6500k is slightly blue. I tried to research these bulbs but couldn't find much but they are 5000k 2950...

This my home garage is only going to be used to build my own personal projects and maybe help a friend out here or there. I see older booth for sale or free from time to time but most would more then likely have t12 fixtures. Could I swap out ballast and make the fixtures t8 and still be legal...

Thanks for all the help so far. The work area will be pretty much only be one car at a time when i work, or less the weather is bad and the rest of the shop is full and i cant move a car out during the day. The booth lighting i am pretty much setting up like professional spray booth and similar...

the 14x25 room will be the paint booth, the side with the lift will be used rarely most for oil changes, light mechanical or remove body's from frames and storage. the 26x33ish area will be what i use mostly for welding, body work and buffing. Most cabinets will be upstairs. My toolboxes, tool...
