Given the state of the economy would you leave your job for your own business?

I just bought a  used open face sparay booth by Binks, with fire suppression and 24" ducting for $1500 through ebay.  Its 8' deep x 7' tall x 8'wide.  Im going to build a room around it.  What are you painting?

As I said, anything.

I've been a bit spoiled by the conditions I get to spray in (normally), and I've developed my style around that. Not that I can't change, but what I know about paint, and what's coming in the future, really does not leave a lot of options.

#5 stop doing stuff for free 

He's right.

Esp on #5.

Good luck on that.

Very little gets done for free and what does will come back to me. Rest assured I pick those jobs and people very carefully.

I plan on (long term) involving my wife. We work well together and she can deal with the people. I have fairly good teaching skills and no issues with training people and having them move on (I understand this is going to happen). I know what kind of qulity product I want to deliver and how to provide it.


The real issue is why not just jump in?

Look in the mirror and ask again.

I can hear a buffer off in the distance.
