How to build a paint booth in your garage without pissing off your wife!

[fastback]

I was about to call BS on the "without pissing off your wife" part, but your first sentence cleared it up for me.

Nice job. I recently bought three cars (a car and two trucks actually), so my brother and I can teach ourselves to do body and paint. I'll soon need to build something similar, but larger.

Do you have any type of ventillation in that thing? Is there a floor panel also, or are you painting on the bare garage floor.

I'm wondering if I could do something like you've done, or if the fans we'll need will suck the plastic sheeting in too much.

read my post above.. and its importants to use a fan that doesnt have the motor exposed.. if you use a regular box fan or something you risk the paint fumes being ingnited by the fan motor..

That works, m an. I am really impressed! Now about the pissed off wife thing...

If you crack that code, you'll make millions in seminar fees.

very cool man... vented or not, it keeps all those stray paint particles from landing on another project, car, or otherwise. Even for small stuff this is almost a must have!
