Paint Booth in VA\MD?

Anybody know of a quality paint booth that can be rented?

I am having second thoughts on using the garage as a paint booth

+1 for this. I'm sure there are places out there and I have some panels that need a respray. I was just planning on hanging lots of plastic in the garage but if the price is right on a booth for a few hours...

Your garage will work fine. You can hang plastic sheeting from Home Depot on 2x4's if you want to go that far with it. You shouldn't need to though. Most important thing to do when shooting in your garage is to mop the floor before you spray and keep it wet. It will keep the dust down on the floor. Plus once your done shooting. Close the doors and leave them closed (if you had them open in the first place) and keep everyone including yourself out of the room until the paint flashes. The only difference with a pro booth is going to be the down draft but again if you mop and keep the floor wet it shouldn't make much difference.

Completely forgot about this thread

Yup, that is the plan, plus I will have a home made air extraction system. The thing is that the garage is small (one vehicle) so space will be tight, it needs extra lights, and well its cold, so heaters will be needed (or wait till winter is over).

I figure, after all extra costs (heaters, lighting, "home made air extraction system") it might be easier to rent a paint booth.
