Quick Intro

I’m so excited that I came across Aaron’s excellent content on YouTube and found this group!

I’ve been a DIY person on steroids my entire life. I’ve only painted one car before, and that was back in the early ’90s. Most recently, I built a kitchen for my wife and painted the doors with 2K furniture paint. My friends think the finish looks better than that of many store-bought painted kitchen cabinets.

I think that success planted the seed that I could eventually paint my two project Land Rover Defenders, which I recently picked up in Italy and drove back to Finland.

Of course, I’m now going completely overboard with my plans and have decided to build a paint booth. Just this morning, I purchased the fans, an oil-fired heating unit, and an Italian-made filter ceiling from a decommissioned paint booth for €1,800. It’s all destined for the paint booth I plan to build in my warehouse.

Right now, it’s a big pile of dirty “junk,” but everything was reportedly working when it was removed from the building. I’ll be picking it up next month with a van and trailer. They are located about 400 kilometers away.

So, instead of starting work on the Defenders, I think next winter is going to be spent building my paint booth!

I’m looking forward to being part of this group! And a big thank-you to Aaron for all the hard work he puts into his videos and this community!
