Adding a Paint Booth

[azscj]

I am looking at building an addition to my shop where I can put in a full paint booth. Anyone here have any experience they can share? I need to figure out the dimensions of a paint booth and specifically the width. Best I can find is I see alot of paint booths seem between 13 to 14.5 feet in width. I am limited on space so this is a big deal.

Anyone else go thru this? Recommend a brand? Accudraft seems like a good brand I have been looking at.

How often are you going to paint? http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96815 There is a link in that thread they changed from the finishing academy that was one of the best I have seen for understanding good basics of booths. It didn't open, I think they fugged it up, the other articles are not as good. It seems I found it again in a later GJ thread.

I've posted this before. Not sure if it'll work for you or not but it's just too cool not to bring up again!

I plan on painting two cars a year...so its not a high volume shop. But when I need a paint booth its there. And I can paint smaller things too.

I will need to do some more reading on whats available out there.

It takes a lot of space when not needed. Due to the design mine is really clean without being clean if that makes sense. It sets up in 10 minutes, clears really well.

This is a good option when you have limited space!
