Awesome news, a new paintjob will make those new wheels look great. Painting the car the same color?
And how does one go about building a paint booth? lol

Easy, 2x4 boards for frame, lined from the inside with thick plastic film, floors and ceilings too. The key is not to get ANY dust in there. The other thing you need is ventilation in there, in and outflow. And of course overhead lights. I've actually considered doing this soon too so I can paint my stuff whenever I want, but I need to start this job first. A routed compressor hose, and swinging door is good so you can drive in and out haha. Seal the bottoms with weather stripping, insulate the top.

yep same color nhbp
some wood screws and good thick tarps
ive got all the materials already
spent like 120 but havent bought bulbs yet so probly 160
do u speak from experiance? lol
in a nut shell thats what im doing but not to extreme, i just need somthing to stop any drafts
so a 22ftx15ft inclosed carport will be my booth
im doin it out of 2x4 for frame and ba tarps, lighting will have about 15 florecent swirly in home bulbs(much cheaper than tha building lights)

I guess yeah technically from experience, I helped a friend of mine build his setup, it was for a professional booth. I forgot to mention having filters on in and outflow ventilation sources, to prevent any dust.
I can't wait to see how yours turns out, sounds like you got a great plan for it!

That would take awhile to do right, lol.
Ah okay, this is more along the lines of what I was thinking if you want something quick. How will you do the ventilation with tarps as the walls though? I would assume you need something more than a mask.
Cut a hole at the bottom of the tarps at opposite ends and put box fans there? lol

Snail Spools You!
Well what you do is measure the size of the fans, then build a small 2x4 frame in that location, preferable up top towards the ceiling, then mount the fan on (or in - depending on how accurate you measure) that, with filter, etc. The rest is tarped/plastic lined. 
Nothing takes long, as long as you have the materials and visualized plan ready in your head - or on paper, depends on how you think.
