    Was the stand built from left over lumber from the railng project?

    My "theory" on the light "bouncing" is this (from my experience only) right alongside the car the overspray lands on the floor so as your working from the top down, the floors finish becomes flat and you end up with little to no lighting.

    I don't want to be a pest about this, I'm just curious if experience the same thing. SO you can tell me flip off if you want to!

    Yep, recycled deck railings that got replaced with metal. Didn't see the need to cut up new lumber for temporary stands, as expensive as a 2x4 is these days.
    I appreciate the input, and I expect you're right about the bounce. My floor still has black over spray from the chassis & under side components. I had thought about a couple of florescent fixtures mounted vertical on the sides, but had not gone there yet. I'll see how it does spraying primer, and if needed I can pretty easily hang some lights and run extension cords temporarily.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
