Nice booth Ken, I did something similar for my Taylorcraft inside my hangar. Ibuilt 8x8 panels and then stretched plastic over each panel then screwed themtogether. After it was built I put down several paint tarps on the floor. Itworked out pretty good.

Was on short call that whole time, but no trips assigned... several days back toback, would rather have been in AMS!It's all covered now, but will try to put together a pic in the next day or twoas I retrofit the hinges on 2RN. When you coming to OSH again? Should have the motorhome there by Fri night (26th),a classic wood boat show on Sat in Neenah, then ferrying it down to OSH onSun to avail for the week (a 30' '64 CC Conny) if I can find a slip or dockspace.

KenIt would be better to have your exhaust fan on the floor. The way it is, youare having the overspray climb up to the ceiling and cross the freshlypainted parts. The trick is to let the overspray fall down near the floor(gravity) and let it exit the booth without being deposited on anything elseexcept the floor (pulled up and across a wing will cause dry overspray).This also allows the air to move across the booth near the floor and not setup swirls and currents. In my paint booth for cars, the intake is in theceiling and the exhaust fan is in the floor in the middle of the booth sothe spray goes under the car and out. Always paint in the direction of fromthe intake to the exhaust to minimize overspray.Also be sure to stick a scrap piece of fabric (about 8"x8") over the back ofthe box fan in the center over the motor. This will keep most of theoverspray out of the fan motor. In Harold's homebuilt Pietenpol Paint Booth,our first box fan lasted about a month without the fabric and the secondlasted through painting 5 Pietenpols. My 2 centsBarryNX973BP
