Hey guys.

I've been thinking of painting my s13 as the old paint is pretty well gone.

So I'm wondering if anyone could tell how to set up a spray booth. I've gotten a few tips from mates like putting water down so no dust blows up and keeps the booth humid.

I have a carport I am planning on hanging tarps from.

I know how to do all the prep work it's mainly just setting up the spray booth and not getting over-spray on everything else. What should I use to ventilate it?

Any advice would be great.

PS: I know the paint will probably turn out shit cause I'm not a pro but it's something I want to have a crack at and if I do alright I can think about doing my r33 as well.

It would probably be cheaper and less hassles if you hired a spay booth from a panel shop. I know some do this to reduce the costs of running a spray booth. The worst they can say is no :down:

Yea mate I have thought of that but I would like to go slow and not have to worry about getting the car out of the way or paying for extra hours and I also have a few other cars I might do if the silvia turns out ok.

the biggest issue with home spray booths is that you wont get enough air extraction to remove airborne particles like dust and paint, which will result in poor finish.

but if you must...

Ahhhh thanks funky.

I was thinking of borrowing an exhaust fan from a friend anyway.
