Spray paint booth
Hi-
I have been frustrated of late not being able to paint what is a growing collection of builds during the ongoing cold season. Does anyone have good plans or suggestions on making a spray paint booth with a blower one could install in the basement (?vented to the outside) that works well for you and is easy/inexpensive to build/purchase? |

I read about one being built out of PVC pipe and plastic sheeting. They installed a vent fan on the top if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't mind see photos of what other BARs are using for spray booths.

There were a couple of threads that had some pics on TRF before the database blewup. I know the guys who had been holding the discussion are still around so maybe some of them will weigh in. I'd really like to build one myself. I live in the North East where the weather isn't optimal for outside painting even in months when it isn't near or below zero! |

I have family up in Maine so I can sympathize with your weather and temperature situation!
Here in Cali, the weather is quite a bit better but I can see still see the snow in the Sierras in July. Thanks for the tip about checking with TRF...I'll post a thread over there.

I'm jealous! Sounds like you've got a great view and weather to boot. My cousin lives up in ME where the weather is even colder than here, which is hard for me to grasp! |

For many years my "spray booth" has been assorted rolls of Econokote, an iron, and a heat gun

There was one guy who said he used his bathtub with the window open. And I think he was renting. I bet when it was time to move he tried to pass the tub coloring off as artistic expression.

Many years ago I saw a notable scale modeler airbrushing the final details on his scale model in the hotel bathroom.

I don't think Mrs. OD is gonna go for me using the bathroom as a spray booth!
Most of the time I take advantage of the weather here in Cali and do my building and painting in my outdoor workshop under the shade of the maple tree. Sorry...insensitive of me what with most of the country still in the Mini Ice Age of 2009.
