Talking Ever Heard of a 90$ paint booth?

Those who know me are suspicious about me being a redneck. Well I feel that I can remove any doubt, right now...

I was in Orschelns hardware, when I saw a 6' X 6' X 7' tall greenhouse. I IMMEDIATELY saw paint booth, for priming small parts. I bought one for 79$, bought 3 24" X 20" furnace filters. With tax, 88 $ and some change. I had an old box fan laying around, attached it to the structure of the greenhouse via zip ties, then sandwiched 2 of the filters together, and ziptied them to the fan. On the other side of the booth, I put another filter, to filter incoming air. WORKS LIKE A CHARM to prime parts, with NO overspray making it past the filters. Sometimes, we get lucky, and what a deal!

In addition, I attached casters to it, so I can roll it outside. This adds 36 sq. ft. to my shop, and removes any chance of overspray in the shop!

MOST excellent idea - this hightech redneck is putting that one in play as well....
