Okay, now that we’ve decided to experiment with a paint booth, let’s talk about what that exactly means.
Some basic requirements:
-
Venting -
I like a cheap box fan + furnance filter. We can replace this later with something a bit more durable and expensive.
One advantage of doing the paint booth in the old meeting area is that we won’t need to cut another hole in the wall, we can use the large vent hole at the top -
Walls
I’m leaning to a simple 2x4 framework + plastic drop cloths stapled to it. Should be easy to build, cheap, move around, and remove if we don’t want it.
If we do decide on a permenant installation we should consider something made of metal, which can easily be cleaned with solvents -
Floor
I’d like to get a nice canvas drop cloth.
More permanent could be metal as well -
Lighting
You want some very bright lights to be able to check on things like sheen and the like
Thinking we want some work lights on stands.
Open Questions:
New room or old meeting area?
