Do the extractor fans have filters in?
Looks fantastic mind
What compressor are you going to get?
they are little 25cm extractor fans in teh top of walls so that will take some of the rubish away on the other side of the room dad is gonna put a massive 18inch+ fan behind the wall then run dusting down the bottom of the walls, hopefully with flaps in so we can open and close where we need the extraction from if that makes sence!
there will be also be a hole in the wall on one side with foam filter on so air can come in!
got some mdf primer so the walls and roof will be painted in that then white over the top so will look even brighter then!
as for comprssors i just have a 50 litre and a 25 litre one at the min, wot dad is gonna do it make permenant air tubes doen the one side of the room then conect both compressors into it so they share the load, also seen a nice 200 litre one i fancy also!
will hopefully make some money from it will just mean being able to make a betta job of the cars, i think they lighting is gonna make most difference!!! and extraction system will make it cleaner! also with me JUST painting in there should not get build up of filler dust like in my current place!

Product is called ROCKET or SPEEDSTER that you put in the paint which will speed up the drying process.

yeah rocket dries it alot quicker but is not great really!
can dry it a bit to fast sum time!!!
Thats looking gd mate, when u paint it wite it will look so much bigger and brighter and paint the floor a lights grey and it will help alot, we have just re-done both ours at work and the light is so much better and it is far cleaner!!

i asked the place where i get paint and they said either top or bottom so thats y on the one side they are near the top and other side they will be at the bottom!
they also said defo NONO to putting then inbetween the top and bottom cos they it effects the painting!
sure there are loads of betta ways to do and make a spray boot but i think being done on a budget and in a old milking parlor i think its pretty amazing! think total cost of it will be around £500 i am guessing! i have paid for fans but rest dad has done he just wants abit of money each time i spray a car which seems only fair cos then he will get his money back!
