Thought it would be good to see some pics info on self made booths, I dont like the term ‘homemade’ as a lot of the time they can be as good if not better than the so called pro ones you buy, heres a pic of mine, since that pic the lights have been countersunf flush into an angled wall section and the rear extract has been made a lot bigger now running the width of the rear wall, we have enough heat and air inlets but they are a bit ‘homemade’ and are next to be re installed. That said though we do still paint mostly high end cars.

How are you heating that booth?
A gas fan space heater , located externally to the booth and piped through into the booth via filters, the new system will be an oil fired burner piped into inlet filter systems
I have a small home booth (mostly for motorcycle parts) and this is how i heat it. 🙂
2 gas heaters in front of the air inlet.[img]http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5658/imageoam.jpg[/img]
Air movement in the booth is 5000m3/h and with these 2 gas heaters (15kw each) i’ll get a good temperature even on the coldest winterday. The gas bottles are inside the booth. When i’m done painting i dismantle the heaters and shove the gas tubes back in the door post.

What are the dimensions of your booth? How about an interior shot?
This was one of mine from last summer haha :rofl
Came out quite good tho only small amount of shit in the paint
👿
Why was there shit in the paint? :rofl
to be honest there was less shit in the paint than i thought there would be, wouldn’t have taken long to denib and polish but it didn’t matter anyway coz a couple of weeks later it looiked like this…..
Oooops!!! not a good start to the season :huh:
Nice job man! I share the pain of fixing up racecars and having them come back like that after all the time you sink into it..haha
Cheers man, know what ya mean, pain is ten fold when its your own sidecar tho!!! even more so when the crash is down to a component breaking rather than driver/passenger error but thats racing for ya. lol
How bout some pics/descriptions of the intake/exhaust setups. And what did you build the walls out of?
Thanks
