    lighting

    I want to starting working in my garage, but my lighting is horrible, besides the obvious of getting new lighting, what are some good, cheap work lights?! does anyone else have the problem?

    thanks!

    These are extremely high quality and work flawlessly for correction work and for illuminating interiors.

    +1 on the "Husky 5 ft. 2500 Lumen Multi-Directional LED Light". It works great for finding scratches and swirls. Check it out in some of my video's 1965 GTO Paint Correction - Auto DetailingShiny Fenders

    Walmart sells duel worklights for around $35 - $40. I got mine there. They are square flood lights and you can see everything!! No need for a swirl finding light. Lowes and HD sells similar too.

    Re: lighting

    I made an adjustable rolling work lamp out of junk material and two t-8 fluorescent lights. Works great at finding swirls and by being adjustable I can go high for doing roofs and low for side panels. Wired in an extension cord and made a shelf to keep all my supplies for the job I am working on.

    Here is where I have posted pictures before. If a guy painted the stand it would look better.
