    American Flag Garage Door?

    Well it's been a crazy last few months. I made the 700 mile trip back to IL and the night I got back our neighbors son was in town (neighbor was 98 and had died back in Feb.) So we offered to buy her house when he decided what he wanted to do with it. Two months later I'm moving yet again...

    American Flag Garage Door?

    Wow. This thread is still going? lol. Well I've lived in PA now for 4 years but am finally moving back to IL(to the house with the flag door) in 2 months. My vette in the 4 years isn't quite done but will hopefully still make for some good pictures once I get back there. The...

    I should have searched them and found this thread before placing my order.:lol_hitti It was some of the worst customer service I have seen in a long time. Bought a $460 paint gun. Right on their website it says: "Our Inventory Status: available for order" So I ordered. 5 or 6 hours later...

    American Flag Garage Door?

    It looks a lot more perfect in the photo than it actually is in person. Not that it's ugly in person but still... For the stars I just used regular stencil plastic you get at any craft store. It's a very thin plastic that flexes a little. Cut out the star then taped the plastic over where it...

    Well lights are up despite them not being the right ones ;). At least the 4 that went on the ceiling tied to the switch. I'm pretty sure the other 4 will go on either side of the car at knee level but I'll make them easily mountable/removable to a safer spot when not painting. Pics don't do...

    American Flag Garage Door?

    My old '96 I sold next to my '69 I'm still working on. I miss this ride. Lots make fun of the C4 but man was it awesome. Although I don't plan on living in this house again(sister lives there and will be a rental eventually) I will at least get a photo shoot of the '69 when I move back to...

    American Flag Garage Door?

    Hi. New the the forum but have been lurking a while. Figured while I'm here seeking some info I'd post up some pics of a project I did a while back(few years ago now). Here's the garage door I painted in the house that I own with my sister back in IL. Unfortunately I'm in PA for a while...

    Garage Lighting For Future Auto DIY Paint Job.

    It's more like "what's the best way to make a cherry pie" and you keep telling me my kitchen can't make one...I need to buy a 6 burner oven and go get a culinary degree. I find it hard to believe that the lighting I bought is completely useless and I can't do a thing with it...yet that's all...

    Garage Lighting For Future Auto DIY Paint Job.

    I change what color I want to paint about every week. The options are: Red(would work well with the black side pipes and okay with the chrome bumpers.) Black. Works well with chrome but I don't like too much black/chrome. Probably won't look well with the side pipes. Cyber Gray. Metallic...

    Thank! That's the plan. Do what I need, then leave the place in the same if not better shape when I leave. It'll be a while before I paint lol. Still doing a ton of body work but I'll never shy away from posting some pics of it :D Currently: Previous owner sealed up the headlights so...

    Sorry. We'll just have to disagree on EVERYTHING I guess.:sad: You're far too "negative" and are obviously after the perfect professional paint booth...which this is NOT. This is a DIY garage build for an amateur. I've seen people paint in a tent in their back yard...I'd imagine you'd have...

    Garage Lighting For Future Auto DIY Paint Job.

    So after looking at a lot of booths online last night I came up with idea 2. They kept saying that horizontal lighting is preferred vs. vertical since it'll reduce shadows if I walk in front of the light. and almost none of them had much lighting on the ceiling. Since I'm not a huge fan of...

    Garage Lighting For Future Auto DIY Paint Job.

    Thanks! Yeah. I'm hoping with both windows on mine exhausting and the ability to stack up to 4 fans on the window there should be at least decent to good enough exhausting going on. Plus pulling air form the house I'm hoping it'll be cleaner air than from outside but we'll just have to see...
