Incredible man. Congrats on the success.
Dan - did you go with LED bulbs? We did for lift and immediate start up. Also, if you have not already, you might want to look into peelable booth coatings to protect the walls. I'm looking at various products now (planning to use clear so I can spray over lights). Happy to share my findings with you once I make a selection. It's important you use this stuff right from the start before any over spray gets on the walls.
Congratulations Dan ........I still gotta thank you for helping me out with that 550 5 or 6 years ago still have the car..you sent your mechanic down to va beach..to help me out with a problem still the best Ferrari service yet.
They offered us LED lights but said the CRI index is closer to 100% with a traditional bulb so we left it alone for now. The color of the lighting was more important then the cost of running it in this situation. I wish there was something I could do about the gas demand, its 1.5 million BTU just for the booth with a 3" gas line feeding it. We used the spray on clear coating before we had a downdraft booth, the pit would make power washing the walls a mess but it works well. I'm going to use 3m 36852 dirt trap and just replace it every 3 months.
Great to hear from you commodore hope all is well with you and the family. Thank you really appreciate it, the corvette collection was worth the trip... Stop by if your ever in NY.

That's a good option for you with large wall areas. For me, the main spray area has lights and walls that would be hard to reach so a spray on product will be better for us.

We went dustless! Festool/3m dustless sanding system setup. If you notice the sand paper has pin holes that removes all the dust as your working away. 95 percent of bodyshop in Europe are dustless, and 95 percent of shop in the US are not. Work environment and employee safety is a major concern for us. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
