Having the car up in the air helps as well. I dont object to multiple sprays on a solid color. Its the least stressfull and gives you lots of time to think things through. Remember to start least exposed to most exposed.

Should be good, just know when spraying primer you make about 1/4 the cloud you make with color.

Your setup should work as well as most paint booths I've been in.. Cloud control will be your biggest issue. Small spray sections will help.



Thanks for the input. You confirmed the approach I had laid out. Over the past couple of years. I've taken 4) 60 hour night school classes in auto body technology. I worked on my own stuff with my own equipment. The results were very good. Just can't get enough booth time in a class. So if I take my time I should be ok. The weather looks like it will be in my favor the next week or two. Nothing that sandpaper and more paint can't fix. Hehehe

I'm wondering if we can add this to a "DIY Paint Booth" thread? Or how can it be bookmarked and grouped with other DIY Paint Booth projects?

Once all the honey-do's are honey-done's on the farm, I want to build a booth in the barn and get at it.

Thanks..

And that color will make a very interesting crash of traditional "50's" Porsche, with Psychedelic-era-Colored 914's....

Are you doing chrome accents inside and out?

Can't wait to see it...

The diy thread is a good one. Mine attaches to one wall in an existing building. It can be broken down to three wall and roof slats.
About the trim on the car. Black bumpers. Chrome trim and handles. The inside will have a brushed aluminum dash. Not sure about that yet. We'll see what it looks like and cover it with suede if I dont like it. The inserts in all the switches along with the JWest shifter base are glass beaded and anodized. They look frosted . Widened Konig seats with suede inserts and suede door panels. I even made a titanium heat lever. Too much winter time on my hands. I'll post pics as I assemble.

That's a nice paint booth. I built a very similar one a few years back when I painted a 911. Same set-up: framed inside the garage and covered with plastic, filtered fan in the front, filtered intake at the back.

Interesting how two people who have never met, live in different areas, can think of the same solution/design.

Anyway, the booth served me well. Fog was a minor problem but painting small areas and allowing the 'exhaust' fans to catch up, worked well for me. My color was silver metallic. Good luck!

That is a cool color and very popular with the 356 crowd. Love it and have been waiting to see it on a 914. Great build. You go Dave!!

Cairo, Yea it's cool, but not as cool as gold!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)


Thanks. Colors are like singers, you either like them or you don't. Are you the Gary that bought the fiberglass rear valence off me at Hershey this year?


Yep Good to see you making great progress. I painted a plane in a similar booth. It is all about the set up and cleanliness. Plane came out ok even without color sanding (rivets don't sand so well). You got this.

Checkout 'home built by jeff' channel on YouTube - it's an Aussie 911 build channel but has a good vid on spray booth build from a garden marquee - I bought one too for this process, was $100 aud!

Those are for the trailer hitch. They sandwich the floor and are welded to the trans crossmember. This is what it looks like underneath. You can see the heat marks where I welded thru from the top.

Trailer hitch? What are you planning to tow with a 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Just curious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
