I am starting up a small body shop in california... what i wanted to know if anyone here recommended a nice paint booth: price, quality and durability...i looked into "global spray" which was pretty expensive but worth the quality. anyways if u can shoot me some places to check out it would be greatly appreciated...preferably somewhere in california. thanks

I use a garmat booth. They're prettty common and are good quality. There are some problems, but all booths can use some improvement.

I think these are really nice. They need to be brought in from out of the country to the best of my knowledge, but I do know of a shop that has some and loves them. You can get half sized ones for front or rear clips of cars, or to use as a cut in booth. Real space saver. I love the looks of them.

I liked the Garmat also. Binks is also a good one.

Check into America Cure...

I've seen them at NACE a few times, and seem good quality, and lower priced..

Where in Cali.??

Have you called AQMD yet?

Are there any schools or residential areas within 300ft/500ft of
your business?

Be prepared to wait 6 months or longer for new permits.
And if offered, pay the expediting fee. I didn't...

6shift,

When dealing with AQMD, ask for Emanuel Quizon (bad spelling).
He IS a fantastic fella and will offer sound advice. And whatever
you do, stay away from SprayZone; bunch of nits...

I wish you well. Ya, like i need more competition! :)

Han,

I tried searching for AQMD and found now luck it brings me to a website about eviromental issues and such something close but no numbers. Do you happen to have a number for him by any chance?
