The new housing for the Spray Booth

I took some photos of my most used tools at the weekend and added the to my website (which is being revamped).
Tools Section of my website (http://www.spc.org.uk/tools/index.html). Maybe you want to have a look?



BTW If anyone wants a link to their website just PM me the details and I'll add them soon.

I have a question about your spray booth. How well does it keep the dust off your freshly painted cars? I made a mock-up spray booth a few weeks back, and my cars still manage to get a few pieces of dust here and there. I'm just sorting through things before I decide to build a proper spray booth.

Also, while I'm here, what did you use for a filter and fan?

Thanks in advance.

I purchased the Spray Booth from a company in the UK, but just made a housing for further dust control.
I spray the models and then take straight to the microwave (thanks PMan) so no dust gets on them.

Thanks for that.

I'll have to draw up some plans and see what happens.

Nice to see I am not the only person who found a better use for oasis than sticking flowers in it :bigthumb:

I don't really need to put them in the microwave. I just put really thin coats on with my airbrush and it dries almost on contact. I just leave it out in the garage to dry and I don't get any dust in it.:smile:

So what's your opinion and how well do they work? Do they get rid of all of the overspray from Halfords aerosols?

As you can see from the photo it's not bad at all, even better if you build another enclosure around like I have.
