Wanna see a $1200.00 paint booth?

[Doright]

Yep its True I finally got it done finished up yesterday!!!


Its all sealed up, air is ran too new air filter system, and its mounted to the wall. The air regulators is in place the Air filter's are all installed doors are painted. the whole thing is sealed too the floor.
Its pretty airtight as well, well almost air tight I have one spot were I need to make up something to seal the front doors at the bottom about 4 inch piece but its not ganna stop me from starting a paint job.
If you leave the side door open with the Fan running the door slams shut from the Air flow.

Even moved the Charger out of the way so I can get cars in and out easier.

Now I just need some moneys for Sand paper and paint and some new sanding blocks boy this whole thing is expensive

I knew you guys would want pics!
I am going to try to get some up today
I wish we had done some of the in progress thing with it but it looked so bad from the out side! But its the inside that counts.
I tell you what NEVER EVER BUY A USED PAINT BOOTH! Unless you can take it apart your self.

I spent yesterday putting the foam seals on the doors and putting the latches on the doors its done now for the most part.

I still have a few small air leaks around the door's but its good to go I think.
I also would like a couple more stronger door latches the door frames arnt all perfectly square and that is causeing the air leaks I have, and a good way to cheat would be to get some stronger Door Latches to hold the doors tight.

Today I will get some pics of it while I am cleaning the shop up.
I want too build some new shelves too hang from the ceiling to store parts and stuff.
I really want to get every thing off the floor as much as possible so I can wash the floor out with my Pressure washer and not worry ablout getting stuff wet.
That way after sanding out a car I can just blow it all out the door.
What I need is another shop all together 40X60 is just too small!!!!!

[Doright]

And my favorite side of the shop the side all the work gets done on.


EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT!!!!!

It may not look like much on the out side but it is mine bought and paid for! and it works good!

My advice too any one that wants one for what its worth buy a NEW one! not a used one unless you can take it apart your self.
If I knew half the problems I was going to have and half the expense I would have ran. And I almost did several times.
But at last my cheap side said I could do it.

I ended up starting back up on another project today.
A car I was supposed to have painted long before now
I had no idea how long building this thing would take
In the beginning I thought oh well a month or two..... HA!
Ten months Later I am done yes I did take off two months. oh and I had my surgery too on my wrist, but still. 10 months?
I still cant belive it took me so long!
But I did have too straiten every piece of metal and patch most every piece as well, Cut and Modifie the Air box to fit my shop it was 14 tall and Modifie the air duct was 36'' now its a 22'' Make a reducer for the fan from 36'' down too 22'' Have the 3 phase Explosion proof motor rebuilt and sand out the interior as well too paint it and rebuild all the lights and purchase every thing as well. Pluss purchase the missing pieces and have them made up as well. at a sheetmetal shop lots of pieces.
Rebuilding the lights was a huge undertaking in it self.
Sand blast paint install new ballasts and fictures and bulbs wireing ect... No small feat really when you think about how bad of shape this thing was when I started. It was a Pile of twisted and bent up sheet metal and bent up light fixtures thats it.
It had been sitting for at least 10 years in this guys back yard and it had been sitting before that as well were he bought it from in Texas it had been moved three times by him god only knows how many before that kinda explains the missing parts.

Do not ask how much it has cost me but after I started I figured I was already in it too deep too stop now!
I kring at the thought as to how much I have put into it.

[Doright]

Now I have to get my kid and his friend to paint the out side of it with roller's and Brushes!
I am thinking Dark Blue what do you guys think a good color would be?

[DynoDave]

All I can say is...WOW! I know a guy who paints for a living from home, and 3 others that do it for side money. None of them has a booth. You're my hero!
