As above dose anyone prep in the paint booth ?
No I don’t and never have.
Only exception would be denibbing sealer/base etc.
I always make sure everything is prepped and checked prior to going into the booth.
never
never, but we cut and buff in there occasionally which is just as bad.
I blow and tack there, but I tape in another prep area.
It’s better to do everything outside untill you are ready to paint.
For example less commotion means less chance of dust/trash in paint
as well as less chance for accidents. Hopefully you won’t have to learn
the hard way. :whistle:As a rule, absolutely not.
There are the very rare occasions where something has been missed or something goes wrong when painting and I’ve got no choice, but wherever possible I keep the dirty work outside 🙂
Okay I’m pretty sure these guys are all in big shops with a lot of room. I know a lot of people who can do a considerable amount of body work then mask and shoot all inside the booth with out getting a single spec of dust in a normal far-side fan booth. I’m not sure what all the tricks are but I’m told time and time again that if you put a lot of water all over the work space you’ll be alright.
No its common sense,don’t do sanding or bodywork in a booth.I have worked in big shops all the way down to 3 man tiny shops and nobody has sanded in a booth.I might scratch pad a blend panel or touch up some shiny spots but thats it.Its tough enough to keep them clean as it is.
No, not even in the Congo. We use this tree…

😆 I sure wish you posted here more Dag. Your pictures always make my day! 😉
No … Just de-nibbing sealer basecoat… Your asking for dirtier paint
We may mask from time to time but never ever prep
