I also looked around and found a local truck company and made an offer to paint several of his trucks at a much lower price than a shop would charge, and would paint them on the weekends, easily pull $400 a weekend. But of course back then the environmental police didn't get on you for painting in an old shed or even outside after a good rain. I once painted a Cesna twin prop plane in a hanger bay for $600, plus materials. took me 3 days. Look around for jobs like these for the occasional weekender and they really help out.
