    New Shop

    Just took possession of the shop so any suggestions on paint and lighting or anything else would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thats a great shop with all of that stuff. It looks like you have nearly everything to be able to offer AV install as well if you looking to be able to do more than just detail.

    As far as paint color goes. I personally would pick white as it will be bright and provide better light reflection overall. Dark colors tend to absorb light making the room darker.

    I have some high output florescent lights with the highest color rating I could find, to make the brightest whitest light possible.

    Just minor restorations no frame offs or anything of that sort. Yes, will be doing pretty much anything aftermarket eventually and also getting my dealers license. This is how I will be earning a paycheck so any and all ideas will be considered on how to set it up, it just sucks tht it doesnt have drains. Thanks guys.
