Paint Booth Advice

[zekeymonkey]

I want to buy a paint booth in the not too distant future. I can get an unheated booth relatively cheap.

To those of you with a paint booth, is an unheated booth workable? And, how do you make it work for you?

It's workable if the booth is inside a heated space. You really need to be at least 60 degrees for best practices.

What are your plans for the booth? If you want to use it more than 6 months of the year it will need to be heated. How much experience do you have painting?

How I did this would depend on the building I had. I have done it 20x ways. If I wasn't in biz and painted occasionally wouldn't have a booth.
But,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, read this. http://finishingacademy.com/training/aero/aero_mod3/aero_mod3_intro.html Read all of it, about 10 pages. There is a fundamental difference between a booth and a clean room which seems to be confusing. With the right design you can run heating equipment in other part of non booth area.
I fire my wood stove hard before paint work, pulls warm air in to booth.
The thing about painting and vent is that there are fundamental principles about like electrical grounding. Once you master the principle it becomes almost reflex to match in and out to make air move.
