So, I've realized that lighting is key to a perfect detail, paint-wise. Right now i'm running 15000 watt halogens and one 100w light bulb on the ceiling. this setup sucks cuz i have to constantly back the car in and out of the garage, turn it around to get the other side of the car, etc., etc. And i have a fear of, when doing the roof of the car, that the halogens are going to fall on it!
What is the best lighting setup? I would love to have those big dome-like flourescents like dealerships have in their bays, but I need natural light too. Halogens are great at spotting swirls and scratches, but I always have to bring whatever car I'm working on into the sun to spot holograms and i think the halo's are a bit cumbersome. Is there any way I can bring the sun into my garage? figureatively speaking of course. I was also thinking of painting my walls white to help reflect light better.
I have a two-door garage, and work out of the right side of it. if you guys want pics of my garage i'll get some.

) and also decided that natural sunlight is in a league by itself with regard to spotting light holograms.
