No not joking at all. If you shoot paint around here it better be in an approved booth. And all it takes is one busy body calling in about paint fumes to get ya in some trouble,so it's definantley not worth risking my City and County, business licenses. I'm not sure what they would do to the guy spraying @ his home shop.

Thats scary..So you need a proper spray and bake type booth,a down draft,or similar,to do the job there?? And I suppose the fine would surely cover the expense of paying two guys to fire up the chopper to go have a look at whose painting illegally... Theres a lot to be said for living out in the sticks,and working from home then,isnt there??

Yes and yes. Probably could do it @ the house and if someone calls just play dumb, as sometimes it's best to ask forgiveness than permission. (LOL)

Reminds me of a story..When I had my short holiday in California,back in 1991,I was staying with friends,who worked for Rod Millen at Huntington Beach..The guys were having a late night session,working hard to get his rally car done in time,and they were painting the body shell near the open rear doors of the shop..Was about 2.30-3.00 AM,and a police chopper rattled in,put the spotlight on the shop and had a look..Seems someone driving by heard the noise,saw paint flying,and thought they had stumbled on an after hours chop shop operation... From what Murray(bud) said,a couple of cop cars pulled up.and all but raided the place,,An explanation from Rod saw them back off and let them get on with it..
