I have finished the How to paint in your garage document, it is in PDF format, but I'm not sure of the best way to put it on the forum for distribution. Any ideas?

Great advise and great article. I agree a home paint job will work with enough preparation. You forgot to say, send the wife away for a week's vacation. If you have an attached garage you will get some dust or paint matter/fumes in the house. Give yourself time to clean it up. My 914 was painted in an un-attached 1-1/2 car garage by my painter. He tarped off the whole garage, water sprayed down the entire area before painting & had an exhaust fan in a window to circulate air. I am happy with my paint job, but painters are crazy people and gave me headaches (big time) on my restoration. Best to do it yourself & control your schedule & cost. If I were doing it again I would do all prep work and hire the final paint job in a spray booth with a professional painter. Tom BTW Paul, your 914 race (red) car looks great. You should be proud of yourself. Enjoy your race season this year. If you don't win your looking good. |
