lol, spray booth is my shed, 7x9, 17cfm compressor, elcheapo retractable air hose, 8 twin fluros, a gas blower heater and a super cheap extractor fan with some 250mm flexible ducting, sweep and hose everything down, cover some stuff up with tarps, wet the floor and shoot some paint!!
its pretty hit and miss, when I did the shell a few months ago I only got maybe 4-6 bits of dust in the paint, this time there were maybe 30!!
a booth be awesome, but I don't paint very often so not really needed!!

Makes me miss my Datsun B210.

I have resealed the front and rear screens with some non hardening sealant, so all I have now is to wait for the gear boot rubber to arrive, paint taillight surrounds and install them, new wiper blades and install wiper arms, put some finishing touches around the handbrake, polish and install the stainless trim along the bottom of the sill panels, clean it all up and sell it to some lucky person with some cash!!

ok, she is all finished, well as far as I'm going with the car, it still needs a few things, front drivers indicator, the brakes will need some attention and there are brand new front strut inserts ready to go in (while the new owner is doing the brakes they can pop them in while its all apart) andi t has a very small exhaust leak, other than that, its basically ready for rego inspection.
