Far too clean, big, and organized to be a buffing area. Where are the random tables with pointy corners to scratch up newly buffed work areas on horns? I am of the opinion that a small, cramped, filthy buffing room is the only way to go.

That room is cleaner than our breakroom/kitchen.

I see red walls in your future.

A friend of mine has the best idea for a buffing room--and I like it. He has his buffer installed outside on a pad with a tarp canopy suspended above it to keep out the rain and sun. If the buffer grabs a slide out of his hands and flings it, it lands in the rhododendron, unscathed. If things get too dirty on the concrete pad where he does his work, he ties a tarp over the buffer and hoses everything off. My friend's commented that a gasoline engine-powered buffer might be just the ticket for those sousaphone bells...

Joe, that room is nice, but where is the inch or two of buffing schmutz sitting on top of the fluroescent light fixtures?

Didn't any Harbor Freight tools. If you ain't got Harbor Freight, you ain't got squat.
