Painting booth/garage to rent?

[Chfsfn2]

Anyone know of a building/shop in central IA to borrow/rent that would be suitable to use for painting a school bus? Preferably around Des Moines, Ankeny, Ames, etc...

We're working on the conversion of our bus to a RAGBRAI support vehicle. Will be needing to paint sometime in the next couple months. The best option we have right now is a barn with a dirt floor. The problems there are pretty obvious...

Thanks!

if nothing else you can wet the dirt down.

What he says. Lay some plastic around the bus to walk on and wet everything else down to control the dust.

I don't know of anyplace in Central Iowa, but I will soon be needing the same thing. I'm getting a bus soon and will need to find some place to paint and/or store it.

Let me know if you dig up anyplace. I'll keep my eyes open too.

airport hangars, try your local airport.
heavy machinery repair shops
rv shops
vocational schools
county school bus service centers

You could give a call to CyRide, long shot but, they have their own booth and paint their buses often. I actually know a guy who got his bus painted there but he either knows someone there or works there.
