Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Put a fan in there blowing out the garage/tent. Get a cheap $5 filter and put it in front of the fan. It will suck out a lot of the fumes. I have done this a couple times. Works great. I'm build a short wall about 2' tall that my garage door will will roll down to it. In the wall in putting 3 fans. Sucking the fumes out. Should make for a decent spray booth.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Put my new spray booth to work today. I body worked the fenders and then prepped them for some more epoxy since I had some bare metal spots. I decided to run some heavy gauge wire from side to side across the tent at the top of the poles. I figured I could hang the fenders from the wire so I could spray both sides. It worked but I had an issue with the wire hanging to low and interfering with the gun. So now I have a big ole run to sand out. Still making mistakes but I guess it's the only way to learn right

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks, trying my best to get some progress done on this thing
Yeah me too, but unfortunately no matter what I do, it won't see the road until next spring/summer anyway. I just have way to many parts still to buy and way to much work to do ![]()

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yes sir buddy I actually got the idea from you. I saw it on your build thread and thought maybe it would work. Only one spray session so far but it's working better then the garage did.

Looking good Keith, I'm glad that painting and body work seems like it's going pretty easy for you.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looks good. Even w/the mistakes at least your trying to get it done yourself and learn at the same time. I got impatient and let someone else do it for me. Never again.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I have that same HF garage turned paint booth. Worked great when we did Korbin's truck. I did all the interior parts in it hung off wires and conduit. I strung the conduit between the sides and duct taped them to the poles. That worked better and did not sag any like the wires do.
You can always sand out the runs. Parts are looking good!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looks good Keith. Runs are just part of it. You Just don't want to get them in your basecoat and keep them to a minimum on your clear too. Ask me how I know......

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Well no progress on the truck this weekend, my wife had surgery on her shoulder on Friday so I have been playing nurse all weekend
![]() I have already seen some of the vehicles he has painted and they are all very nice. I talked to my father yesterday and asked him his opinion and he thinks it's a good idea to let someone else spray the base and clear in a clean booth. He told me sometimes you need to bite the bullet and put the money out. So we will see how it turns out, I'm not going to say it's definitely going to happen cause you never know but it is an option. I also told the painter that I already have the PPG Torch Red DBC base and would like to use it. He had no problem with that, I don't want that money going to waste.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looking good Keith. I keep going back and forth on myself doing the bodywork and paint or having someone else to it. I'm with you on the fact if its in the budget and you know the guy does good work, it very well may be worth it. Of course I've got a couple of years before I get to that stage.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith your paint booth came out nice.. Sounds like you've got your prioritys in order ( taking care of the wife).
I can't wait to see some paint on it. I know it's a hard decion to have someone else spray it but go with your gut. Keep the pics coming..

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
That was my dilema with painting my truck. Do I try to balance overtime and working on my truck (which would have taken 6-8 months, if not more) or do I work a bunch of overtime to pay a professional to do the work better and in a more timely fashion that I could.
After weighing a bunch of options, it was knuckle down and work some overtime, then let someone else paint it. Even after letting someone else do the paint and body, it took them a month. However, I'm pretty happy with the results. He still has a few pieces that he's painting, but atleast I have the truck itself back in my possession.
