Mark69 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Contemplating building a paint booth in my garage , wondered what amount of air movement is needed and filter size. Thanks Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Mark-- I put up a temporary one last fall. I used two 20" x 20" filters and a 24" box fan. Some told me that it would not be enough air flow, but it seemed to work very well for my single stage paint. I understand that clearcoats may present a bigger problem with hanging in the air.

Mark69 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks for reply Ed, looked at fans in a local outlet today.18" fans move over 6000 m2 /hr. I was thinking of putting wooden pallets on floor cover with ply drill a series of holes and draw air through floor , filter in the roof. The construction of the booth something similar to yours.

littlejim Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I did mine in a similar set up, but with the end open to the outside and an indoor type fan blowing to the out side. Plus good quality respirator/filter. HVLP gun used but still get some airborne spray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark. Only problem with doing it that way is your drawing dust up through from the floor. Better to do it down through and then out to the sides. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 That's my intention Stuart, just didn't explain properly going to use fans to pull air through floor. Pulling air from filters in roof. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 In that case have the holes in the floor away from the car so its drawing away from it rather than down directly over it. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
