Might rethink the light choices: florescent lights are going away, very
soon. I did T12 8' LED replacements in mine, $399 for the dozen, eBay.
Northern parts washer is virtually the same as HF at a higher cost. With
discounts I paid $75 for the HF one, red/blue model. A lean-to with tarp
walls should suffice for a paint shop.
Mine: 30 x 40 x 14.5 insulated and drywalled, still too small so I bought
another property with a 30 x 50. ;)
