I am not so sure that I didnt step put of bounds a bit by suggesting this forum event. I failed to take a look at the forum events that are posted on the KRnet gathering webpage before I sent this out. A look at the activities list gives me the impression that there is a pretty full schedule of activities already. I apologize to Larry and the group for putting this out there before checking the list and following proper decorum.?
I am more than happy to share any knowledge or experience I have with painting and finishing and leave that up to Larry. I am currently getting ready to paint my SCCA sports race car and will try to take plenty of pictures of the process and my home made paint booth. The booth is a pretty simple design with a down flow (air) idea. The idea is to basically pull air in from the top and filter exhaust air our of the bottom back side. Its a simple erector set style idea using ?2 X 3 lumber and polyethylene clear sheeting, a few dense micron furnace filters to draw air in from the top and push them out with a squirrel cage fan out of a used furnace to both filter and exhaust air out of the bottom. ?Its all put together using screws so that I can take it apart to store in my hanger. I have thought about re doing it with PVC pipes and PVC elbows to allow putting it together and taking it apart without using screws. Simply slip it together.?
