Positive vs. Negative Pressure Paint Booth?
Which provides the cleanest environment and the best overall paint job ... a Positive Pressure Paint Booth/Room or Negative Pressure Booth/Room?
Secondly, in a Positive Pressure environment, is there any downside to having one wall be a ceiling-to-floor heavy plastic curtain instead of solid doors?

the booth we have where i work is a neg pressure. it has so much suction that it will suck in dust when i enter or exit the booth. thats why i like positive pressure booths. i get clean jobs but have to keep the booth and outside the booth clean. i painted a viper front bumper cover today and only got 2 little trash nibs in the whole cover. then i shot some flames on harley tanks and they were came out clean. but i have to totaly clean the booth after every job or i get trash in my clear.
i always got cleaner jobs with less work with pos pressure booths.

the guys at the simthsonian museum use positive pressure to paint the antique aircraft. they also use a grounding wire on the gun to reduce a static electrical charge from building up and attracting dust.
