    That coverage looks great Doc!
    I'm curious about your paint spray booth setup. I see what looks like a plastic covered 2x2 frame with filters...
    Did that work well? How did you ventilate during spraying?

    I want to end up with a setup like this on a temporary basis for when I get to the point of wanting to do some painting. This looks like a reasonable cheap but effective setup?

    Do you sleep on top of the doors? Under them? On the floor? LOL

    It all looks great.

    At first I installed three intake fans and installed 24x24 AC intake filters and one big exhaust fan (all bought from HD) problem with that set-up was there was so much suction it would cause the walls to suck in real bad so I added 5 more intake filters only and that worked perfect. Overspray is removed very quick and all most no problem with dirt in the paint.

    Not sure why pics went bye bye??? It's always something I think I fixed my pic problem.


    It amazes me how the color changes when I take a picture in different lighting.
