Default Re: Poorman's Paintbooth (Injected)

hey good one, I did something somewhat the same for my full paint booth in the garage. I made a big rectangle with the PVC with hanging hooks on the frame and O hooks on the ceiling. When I'm going to paint a project I secure two 10x30ft clear poly tarps over the PVC frame and hoist it to hang on the O hooks in the ceiling. Let the clear poly fall to the floor and whammo - instant painting booth, for under $50. I do run a set of fans and filters to keep flow though the booth.

Great idea MonkeyWrench!!
:yesnod: that's what I was thinking about for when it's time to do the whole car...

Great little parts booth! :cheers: I went so far one time as to build a larger one attached to the garage, kind of like the one you put together there, and put plastic on the driveway floor. I drove my camaro into it, sealed the end and painted it over the weekend in the driveway. Came out looking great and I was giddy with excitement, or was it the fumes? :jester
