Could this be classified as a paint booth. How and where have people painted their own cars?

It would certainly help reduce the insects and dust that keep getting trapped in the paint when doing it outdoors but unfortunately not classed as a booth . The professional paint booths are generally heated , sealed and filtered to control dust etc and also capture the paint (especially 2 pack) before it gets out into the environment . I've painted mine in carports and garages but something like that looks a brilliant idea for the next time .

It was done with 2 pac. Plastic on the floor helped to keep the dust down. Went through about 20 metres of the wide stuff, put the last length down for the top coats Did have a spray painter friend around to do the top coats and managed to miss the bugs by painting in the middle of the day.
Plastic also helps keep the paint off the driveway and the landlord a bit happier

i wouldent like having my numberplate and contact details on a public forum talking about doing what you have done

there could be an epa dude snooping around on here, very nice finish btw

a booth has to have special filters to remove the toxins from the paint, its in the colour but the deadliest lies in the cleer

That's exactly what I was thinking....... minus the EPA part but good point.

Love the finish looks great.

Thats my spray booth. dad built it. it also had an extractor fan, it worked bloody well too. (the pics are in reverse order tho. it starts with the finished product and then goes to the building)

Wasn't too worried about EPA as both ends close and seal properly (with tape) and plastic on the floor as I mentioned already. Would look at doing something like czerial if I was doing a few more. Used disposable overalls, gloves and breathing apparatus while doing the painting. Main problem was waiting for the right weather as it was a bit blowy and wet on occasion, nice enough days seemed to come around when we required it.
Will remember to blot the number in future.

nice whitewall tires

I used the same thing when i primmed my mini, worked perfectly.

Cheers

no need to blot the number i think i still have rego papers here for crystal that was my second mini i ever owned paid $ 1250 for her she was reliable and went well loved driving her might even have photos somewhere and some spares
