Its a ppg clear mate that max mayer carried on with i think
Im not saying its a propper 3 stage just that 02c (in solvent anyway) is quite transparent without a groundcoat ? When i bought my subaru a few years back i noticed the hood had been painted and if you looked closely enough you could see a small patch of grey primer in one corner ! I think they should have used a sun gun lol
Not sure with water based paint as i still use solvent in the uk but 02c is world rally blue as i have had a couple of scoobys in my time and it does have a dark blue ground coat followed by the pearl top coat which is a very low hiding colour ? Did you use ground coat ?
Put filters in today and as i thought it is the same loudness !
Hi mate hows things ? Its an old fan but had new bearings,impeller,and belts but when your on ceiling/mezzanine floor you can hardly hear the fan its the induction noise in the booth thats loud ! As i say i havent heard it with filters in yet but i hope it dums it down a bit lol !
I dont know how to upload pics on here but can whatsapp pics over to you mate ?Hi guys just an update, i have fitted fan and ducting and filter box but have a bad leak around roof where ducting goes through ! Got to sort that the weekend !
What i would like to ask is my filters box is 3 meters x 2 meters and 900 mm out from wall and its really loud ! I havent tried it with filters yet but im hoping it dulls the noise down a bit ? How loud is your homebuilt booths ?:rofl
If health and safety guy comes hes going in the pit lol
Its nearly built now mate,just sorting out the plenum box but trouble im having is the ducting is big 780 mm so to fit that the plenum will stick out on wall a bit further than i wanted ? And then we have to make a large 4 meter wide x 2.2 meter tall door that slides to open ! Gonna be a challenge lol
I am looking into that air dry primer by sw but its £80 for a litre but with thinners and hardener should around 3 litres sprayable ?Wicked mate thanks again,i will try to work it out and see if i can get the cfm on the fan too
Thank you nft5 and jack for your time !
So are you saying that if poss to have filter flush with the wall and then behind the wall have it exhaust up and out ? Would that be how you would have yours if you could ? I do have lots of space after the wall so can set it up that way ? Also would a greater surface area be better for the filter that would sit flush at the wall ?
By the way the fan i have in mind is a 3phase 3kw 1440rpm motor. The motor is mounted on top so no fumes can get to it.The blades on the fan are about 66 cm tip to tip ? He doesn’t know the cfm rating tho ? Is there a way of working this out ? I will know the booth dimensions for definite on Monday and lay out too as it has changed since my first post ?Havent been able to get on here as the server has been down !
Does anyone know a cheap ducting company preferably midlands based ? I like the canopy with the filter you have so would like a similar thing ?[quote=”NFT5″ post=37305]I had a similar problem.
The only place where I can exhaust out is halfway along one wall but I don’t have the space to make the booth wide enough to do that. So, I put the plenum chamber, which has fan mounted above it, at the end and then ran ducting up into the ceiling and back along the side to the point where it can go through the floor above and up to the roof.
The ducting is boxed in along the right hand side ceiling, sitting a little below the original ceiling level. It makes the booth end draught which works well enough. Fan is designed for the size at about 14,000cf/minute so sucks the booth clear very quickly and end draught means a fairly constant wall of air movement from one end to the other. Inlets are on the doors.
You could, if you have the width and some ducting, get clever and do a side down draught which would be better but inlets would need to be in the ceiling and you’d need to plan air flows fairly carefully. I didn’t have that option.
Are those booth lights explosion proof mate ? Where i work at the moment they just have bare strip lights everywhere lol

The shop has a mezzanine above where i will have a booth so i might put fan up there and drop ducting down with a box fitre the whole height of ceiling to floor ? Then a ceiling intake with filtered but it wont be too wide as it has beams that may be strucural so not sure yet if i can cut some out or not ? I will let you know how / if it goes !
How do you find the Lechler hs 2000 for die back and how it sprays ? Do you thin it 10% ?Carl
How clean do your jobs look say a black car ? What clear do you use for air dry / ir lamps mate ? At the shop im working in they use valspar but id like to step up to a better clear ?
