I have a rear bumper to paint, oem ssiii front splitters, trd rear splitters, my wing, and raiser blocks. and other misc. just for practice.
Nice PurpleGT4,
When it finally comes time to paint my spoiler and mirrors, I'll be doing the same thing just with a slightly different fan. Are you blowing air in, or blowing it out? From what I've heard, it's better to blow in with multiple filters set up, this way it keeps the room positively charged and will help keep out dust.

Looking forward to seeing how it comes out!

Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.
i've read around with the positive pressure factor. For this i have a fan setup, but i just wanted to clear the walk way. I'd have to duct tape the crap out of the fan tho. I should get another box fan for intake.
Hmm....Couldn't you just create a overhead static placement. For instance, grab a ton of helium filled ballons, rub'em on yourself. Create plenty of static on them. Circulate the air for a hour or so, and relatively become dust free then?

Still like the booth idea though. Creative.

Was thinking of renting those of PODs ya know that people use for moving. Sealing it, after a proper dust removal that is, and painting my car in there. Ghetto, but I only have a drive way, so thinking of options.

That's actually not a bad idea. If you can fit your car in there, I'm sure you could get it clean and then do the same thing the OP did, lining the whole thing with plastic.

for a few small parts and a bumper? yea it's wide enough. If i need it wider i'll just get more piping. good thing i didn't super glue this thing together.
