Default Place to spray boat?

My buddy says he will paint my Excalibur for me, but we need a place to shoot it. The boat will not fit in his shop. Any of you guys know of a place where we could shoot it??

BTW, I am thinking of going with silver, hullsides and deck, with blue accenting to match the old school blue upholstery. Its not gonna be a 25k paint job, but then again the boats an 82, in need of something!

Probably paint the fairing blue also, and add a aluminum platform in blue. Ideas are welcome!

Hard to find a place that'll let you paint anything in it with all the overspray that gets on everything in there. You're gonna need a body shop, but I don't know of anyone that'll rent out a spot in it for someone else to do their own work. That's gonna be your problem.
If you can't find a place that'll let you do the work, try calling Tom at Nabbers in Morris. He's very reasonable, does excellent work, and is real easy to deal with.

cool! Ill keep him in mind. Maybe we could remove the hardware and sand the boat, and have him shoot it. The problem is alot of these guys want to charge a ridiculous amount of money. Not looking for a custom 30k paint job, just a basic sand/shoot color. Maybe add some vinyl graphics later. Thanks, Joe
