Looking for a painter that will make a house calls

Anyone have a painter buddy that will come to my house to paint the engine bay?

Thanks

Hey Shawn ,

I dont remember if I brought up ventalation etc but a big concern for me would be the overspray.. . . not really that it will get on your tools and stuff but that you just cant see through it to paint and do a proper job . Even with an hvlp gun in a proper sealed booth you would be lucky to see much of what your painting after a few minutes as its a tight spot.. . .in a garage you would only see white cloud after the top of one tower ( maybe 10 seconds max ) even with big fans set up. Its like painting the inside of a truck box, not easy without a very good booth to push out the fog. . . . . I like to call it ninja painting

Also your eyes will burn like a **** and you get all stickey from the kickback

I know it sux but if you can Id tow it to a shop. In the end less headache and a better job for you
