Ok I bought the 3m self generating vacuum sander. I bought the 5″ general use model and it works well. For the sake of conversation what size 5-6 ” sanders and grit’s of paper do you guy’s prefer. Also my jobber was telling me to buy the fine sander as well to cut clearcoat (3000 grit) instead of wet sanding. What are your thoughts?
I would like to see a close up of your vacuum attatchment you made and how all that works. I’m surprised nobody else has posted pics of there shops
I thought about T-8’s that would swing down from the ceiling that would be located in the correct location when the booth is opened up. This way the side lights could swing up and hug the ceiling when not in use. The ceiling lights would be flush mount in the ceiling, I would use fixtures that are meant for a booth for those. The two downsides I see to this setup is: It’s a draw through booth, and I wonder if i would get any kind of “paralax’ effect from the side lights shining throught the plastic material. Keep in mind this is my shop, not a for hire scenario. I have read enough posts on this forum to know there are smart thinkers lurking here. The thought of this idea appeals to me. Ok point out some other thoughts I may have overlooked.
I will post some pics. I have half of the concrete already poured, and the other half of the floor is getting a drain and radiant heat. I live on a thirty acre acreage so my Morton Buildings fit right in. I have my Bobcat and a couple John Deers parked in there right now, when it dries up I’ll kick those out and take pictures. I have questions on the SPI paint system, but a more pressing question is does anybody have any experience with these booths? http://www.rekoil.com.au/ I might have a chance to buy a down draft reasonable from a shop that built a new building and dont want to move it. I’m not sure I want that booth taking so much space so I need to give them an answer on the down draft.
I agree, very nice.
I’m guessing they do a good job at keeping the dust contained. I tried to look at the “Autobody store” on this site but the pages aren’t loading correctly.
Nice, things sure have changed.
When I got out of the business we used PPG mostly. back then I did alot of Kandy’s and Pearls and those were shot with House of Kolors products. The work I will be doing now will be completes, everything from motorcycles to ?. It will be just my stuff mainly. What do you recommend?
