painting in garage

i say do whatever u want,your neighbors

well we always paint in the middle of the night but we are 2nd shifters but my buddy paints probably 2 or 3 a month never had any problems

just make sure you change your filters and keep your unwanted chemicals in a waste container

honestly, in my garage i've only painted after 2am, less bugs, and less of a chance of being seen. best thing is to not let them know

what about the compressor noise? i would love to paint late at night but my compressor's too close to nearby neighbors. all i need is the noise to wake them and call the cops for the noise and then the smell

yea i agree at night would be rough for me with the compressor noise and i would think if there is a smell it would be more sensitive to my neighbors at night when there trying to sleep next to a open window im gonna try at shoot the truck tomorrow we'll have to see what happens

well got the rest of the paint on the truck and havent heard any complaints from my neighbors so i guess the smell wasnt bothering them. heres a pic i took when i got done the paint came out good considering this is only my third paint job but you can definately tell i rushed the bodywork definately not happy with that [IMG]

i leave the main garage door about a inch up, and my compressors pretty loud, but outside its not that bad. My walls are block tho.

Agreed...just keep a low profile about it, and keep your filters changed, and all your chemicals in order and stored safely. Honestly, its a catch 22, you'll only have problems if someone complains. Dont give them a reason to complain. Stay low key, and just be smart about it, you'll be alright.
