    Maybe the seller uses the paint booth as his "garage"?

    with the lighting and white room, its just an excellent place to look at the paint quality of a car. You wouldnt want to look at your car in there, trust me.

    +1.. no matter what, always get a ppi, but i agree, could be in there for pics, or could have been in there for a detail session by a paint professional (detailer or painter who does detailing). I have a friend who is a professional detailer of high end cars.. mostly italian. he has done countless work on ferraris. his work is the best in the biz and he has made a name for himself. anyways, people often times send him their new ferraris once they are delivered to them, and he is always doing paint correction. the paint issues he finds on new ferraris is staggering.

    here is an article about what he did on such a job.. a brand new just delivered 458 spider rosso corsa

    I agree with the above with one exception. Having been in the autobody business at one point for almost a decade, NOBODY details anything inside a paint booth. They are intended to be 'clean rooms' devoid of lint or airborne particulates.
