yea my cross flow is homemade so i dont know how a manufactured unit looks in person. but as far as weatherstripping goes, i had a saturn ion here that we were parting out and the weatherstripping on it was pretty thick so i used that to seal up the doors and the clean out part of the exhaust vent. worked pretty well so i think you might be able to find something similar to work for you.
i also dont do any sanding in the shop during the paint process as an extra precaution and like everyone else said cleaning is key to a clean paint job.
i also have a cross draft booth but i sweep my booth before each use and water down the floor lightly. but i found tacking between every coat of base, not spraying heavy coats and letting it flash properly minimizes trash significantly. id switch the filters out more often if you notice lots of dirt on them and make sure they fit securely and are perfectly sealed. watch out for cracks along the joints of the booth. if you have any seal them with caulk. every little bit helps
u guys have to see what i do for 750 :wak
thats what keeps me from going back to ss. glad those days are over
totally agree that the little wall switch is dangerous for that particular application. both my compressors have magnetic starter switches and fused knife type switches.
good color choice with the cabinets. as far as the insulation goes i think its done well, putting extra and then trimming would seem like a waste of material and time. how much longer u think till its done?? from experience looks like u have another 4-5 months?
looking good Doc :clappy the compressor wiring might need another setup, idk??
i agree the foam tape does leave a residue and besides that i find it comes loose around corners but sometimes its too late to notice :chair. i never tried the tape folding method, how do you do it??
well, since i work alone i basically do everything you can possibly think of. everything from estimating to parts and material shopping, heavy mechanical to heavy collision, prepping, painting, detailing and the one who takes all the pride or beef from customers. lol. i avg about 4 cars a week if im busy enough. the only thing i hate doing and subcontract is windshields.

let me loan you a broom ;)[/quote]
lmao for real, looks fantastic, but how do u work with all that mess? lol
i mostly do completes, and just 1 takes me well over 12 hours to get it out of the booth because my booth isnt heated. :blush: plus i do all the work alone :wak but in extreme cases ive gotten 2 done in 1 day.
[quote=”ding” post=15622]with 2 booths and a good prepper 9 cars isnt unreasonable[/quote]
whats the rush? people dont pay anyway.
thats really neat. the mirror cover is rigid, how does it perform on flexible plastics?
looks like some nice work lild, nice booth too
looks like a nice truck lild, give it that gangsta look lol
