I did a search and didn't see anything covering this here. If this has been discussed, please let me know where.

I have been thinking for some time now about trying to finish our own frames. The work we have done at Coat has been great, and no complaints there, but I feel offering a complete build in house would open up some creative doors for us.

So this question goes out to the painters,
What would you consider an adequate set up for painting bike frames? Square footage, isolation from dust, ventilation, compressor, gun, whatever it takes to get a booth going. Oh, and cost estimates would be informative too.

I'm thinking about really looking into this in the next year to two years, and figure it may take another year until I feel comfortable finishing customer bikes. I have no interest in painting bikes for anyone else.

Thanks.
