In my experience with spray booths it was very much obvious that the smaller the booth frontal area the more effective the booth was. My suggestion to you is to add hinged wings to the front of the booth to reduce the frontal area which increases the air velocity and increases the effectiveness of the booth. The hinging allows the ability to only use the larger area when you are painting larger parts. Also, the addition of a turntable is a good idea as well.
I recognise that sound in the intro - lots of digital noise reduction in post processing! I did lots of mucking around with improving audio quality in videos - and improving signal to noise ratio at source. Get in touch if you are interested in trading notes. Great spray booth and very smart to build the extraction in. I could really do with making something similar. Thanks for the video! Cheers, Craig
PS: Forgot to say - the biggest reason for an extraction system for me is - after a big painting session, of course my compressor has been sucking up those stinky vapours, and they are released for several days after the painting session. If I could feed it clean air, it wouldn't be so much of a problem. If I can just remove the stinky air from the workshop though, at source, like you show - that fixes several things at once.
Boy, if the intern only gets one chance to not mess up, I'm not sure it's worth the paperwork to work for you like that! Great idea, I was looking to do something very similar to this except that I can hopefully be broken down. So in a few places that you made it pure frame I was considering making something similar but what things can pull together in some easy fashion so it's not like reconstructing it from scratch every time. So maybe toggle latches or something
You might want to add some doors with something like a sand blasters glove holes. That way you can also use it to help reduce or prevent the general shop dust from ruining the finish of the paint jobs.
Thinking about doing something like this in my garage. The neighbors are very close, so I wonder if adding an inline 6-inch 'grow house' charcoal filters would make much of a difference on the output end.
