Without any question....i'd be forcing them to tear it out & re-do it. If that was my place, i'd be so pissed off every time I walked in & had to look at it that i'd want to burn the whole mess down.

I'd say put regular insulated sectional garage doors on it. Those roll-up doors are probably not meant for a climate controlled garage

I don't use self etch, but I put epoxy primer on everything bare steel.

I don't have experience with the specific brands you listed, but I'd think 16 gauge would be really pushing it to get a nice flange. It seems hard to get a nice even flange with those types of flange tools, even on 18 or 20 gauge. 16 could be welded with little chance of warping it as...

you can buy the purple spraygun from harbor freight for less than $10 bucks & it sprays well if you want to spray it (& that's coming from a professional painter with 2 expensive Sata's)

A Manual bead roller makes it hard to get straight consistent beads. Powered makes it much more controllable.

Sandblasting & bodyshop related work needs lots of cfm. I bought a 7.5hp 80gal 32 cfm compressor right away. I wasn't going to waste $$ on one that was too small. Biggest cfm & gallon you can find is ideal. The only way I could go bigger is if I had 3phase

BUY IT! (unless you'll never have any use for it) If you are welding outside a lot & on old rusty stuff, a stick welder might be a good choice. If you plan on welding mostly clean steel inside a building, definitely buy a MIG. Personally I wouldn't want a flux core wire welder, but it...

Hang up some plastic & put a fan in one side & a filtered opening on the other end. The harbor freight purple gun is ok if you only plan on painting one vehicle. Go to your local autobody / auto paint supplier for materials.

If you can spray, I'd use an automotive single stage urethane for the best durability

Seymour makes decent spray bomb stuff

I drive past the Miller welding plant in Appleton Wisconsin every day. There's no way they'd have a complex that big if they weren't building welders there

Northern tool had a great sale on Wilton vises recently.

Ideally I'd suggest that be TIG welded. If you aren't able to TIG, could you tack it together & take it somewhere to have it welded? That might be easier / better than trying to get the right tank for your welder

There is a 2part expanding foam available (similar to the panel bonding tubes pictured) but idk the name of it

There's nothing wrong with Baileigh industrial items. I've been at the baileigh store / warehouse & took a metalshaping class there. The yellow equipment is made in Two Rivers, Wisconsin & is extremely high quality. I believe a lot of the blue equipment is imported . built to Baileigh...

Baileigh

Most of those double sided hole saw type spotweld cutters ****! Unless you are really careful, they break quickly. There are better options available

Shoot....completely missed it. The one weekend I don't check this forum:mad:

My boss has an everlast TIG & I like it
