Bowtiemontecarlo · 01-14-2008, 08:25 PM

I was just wondering if i need a booth to spray my car .I know it would be a good idea but i kinda dont got one i also dont have a garage .I was thinking i could buy a carport tent thing and drop some tarps around it to enclose it .

What u guys think ?

Well thats tough. You would need at least a 2 car garage to do something half way decent. Its all I use but I cant imagine being any less sealed than that.

If you decide to paint it outside or in a car port, use a low pressure gun and wet the floor, sometimes you could get great work like that.

yea it can be done and it can turn out great just make sure its nice weather not to hot or humid and make sure theres not alota bugs flying around because they will get in your paint and fuck it up...

You can do it, just take your time and like someone said, wet everything down, etc. Do everything you can to prevent dust becoming airborne and other trash from flying around. Your best bet is to do it in a garage.

The Garage is your best bet for sure!

Do you have enough air?? Those 30 gallon ones are WAY to small.

Hey dude you gotta do it indoors. I tried touching up the fender on my Estarion ESR but even the tinniest gust of wing would warp the flow of paint outta the gun. When dry it looked like crap.

I am in the process of installing a brand new booth and will be renting booth time as soon as it is functional. PM me if interested.

Painting in a garage can work....I did it for along time and you can ask people on here what my work looks like. you can do it. wetting the floors down and keeping dust stationary is the key. also if you dont have a water trap on your air supply that would be the next thing you want to take care of. water in your paint will look ok at first but will bubble down the road and make you mad.
