For those of us stuck in apartments, paint fumes can be a nightmare. The weather can also wreak havoc when trying to find a day to paint. So, has anyone brought their rocket to a painting service to be painted? I was watching a video from a guy in the U.K. who did this... I didn't know these existed.
 
I'd thought about having the votech autobody program do a couple, but haven't built anything big enough to need it yet.
 
Somebody mentioned airbrushing with water based acrylics for those in apartments and the like.
Minimal overspray, low fumes.
And part of the satisfaction is doing it yourself, right?
 
I had my L3 done at a local body shop. Don't think they would do anything small though.

Hey RocketRoll, depending on where you are and what you might want, I might be able to lend a hand.
