Jeez, Toby, for $12K you could build a garage and buy a compressor. Why not
just open a paint shop?
Check the local MAACO or other cheep body shop. Their biggest fault is that
they don't remove trim, they mask and paint around it. For a few hundred
more than their normal paint job, and a lot of prep work on your part, I bet
you can get them to lay down a decent coat of paint. Then ask them if they
want pics of the finished project to use in their advertising. You may even
get a discount.
