Paint Booth

I went with the obvious colour in the end. White. It was easy, looked OK due to all the white trim.

First off, I had to build a paintbooth in my shed.


I started my dragging an old chest of drawers to the area I had designated and covered it in a plastic drop sheet. I sat the cupboard squarely under some rafters in the shed which allowed me to make a plastic "tent" out of another drop sheet. The tented area was taped over the covered cupboard to create an enclosed area for painting and drying dust free. I left a flap for access at the front and a flap for flowing air.



The home made spray booth

A small fan heater was set up about 1 metre away from the booth and warm air directed into a cut out area to assist with drying.



All masked up

A chain was suspended from the rafters within the booth to hold work for painting. This meant I could spin the items slowly to get good overall paint coverage.



Parts Drying

Lots of sanding and recoats and finally put her back together to see what she looks like.
