I'm a HVAC installer/painter. If you install more filters for the incoming air you would increase your air discharge greatly. Do a test by removing the sheet of plastic where the filter is mounted, and watch how fast the over spray gets sucked out. It will help when you shorten discharge tube with soft bends as you mentioned. Great job.

Very nice work man!

Brilliant Barnsey, love your dedication to doing a great job.

I have been binge watching your build series for the last 2 days and you have inspired me to finally pull my finger out and get my ute started

Hey mate good job - thanks for sharing. Loved the surprise appearance of Iron Man and how you included the LED stuff-up. Happens to all of us! Some suggestions for easy improvement: 1) Invert the extractor box so the filter segment is vertically above the fan and the fan points down. 3 advantages - you reduce the intrusion into the spray booth of the filter box, you straighten out the exhaust path for that concertina duct so no 90 degree elbow, and you'll make the filter box / extraction fan contraption more stable with less hanging attachments for easier / quicker removable and replacement if you want that to be portable. 2) Increase the number of filtered intakes so you don't get dusty air inside the booth from other sources - as they don't have fans it'll be cheap and passive but work well. 3) The fluros might need some air flow for cooling. 4) Think about the floor dust when spraying - either lay down plastic, or wet the concrete floor with water, both of which will protect the concrete slab from overspray if the premises are rented or discoloured concrete is a concern. 5) With that fantastic car-rotator you have, consider a couple of LED floodlights outside the booth shining light through the builders plastic, and spray from that side by rotating the car. Good luck!

Hi mate all looking really good, sucking seems to get the fumes out better then blowing into the room, but positive pressure keeps the dust out better, i found i needed a larger area of filter on the wall to get the air moving, as you know your playing with paints that can kill you. see how you go but if it gets to cloudy in there stop and make a larger area for the air to enter. you will always get dust on your paint, but dude your booth will easily be good enough to do a awesome paint job.

Love the dedication mate I just sweep blow some dust out and hit it primer colour doesn’t bother me. You definitely think everything out good on you.

Looking good Barnesy . I reckon you need another inlet to move enough air. I’m doing a similar thing myself in my garage and found it better with 2 fans like yours. Just make sure you’ve got a top quality mask and plenty of spare filters for it :)

Looking sweet mate. Don't stress , whatever you do you'll get a little bit of trash in the paint but a wet sand and buff will sort it. I'm no air movement scientist but as you say I don't think you need a great deal of extraction power for it to be to effective . Good luck with it.

Try keeping floor wet when you paint it, will help dust from moving around. Use a sunstrom cartridge mask, around 100 bucks.

Ah well no need to buy chrissy lights this year 😉

Weird, I stumbled across you on KZfaq as I watch car builders for inspiration for my current build, turns out we live very very close to each other.

Hey if your roof plastic is an issue use small magnets on those metal rafters

What plastic sheeting did you use on the walls and where did you get it? Where did you get the filter material from?

What size is the shed and how highs that mezzanine? I'm trying to design a shed for my block but it's hard to get a good perspective on it from cad only

What colour have you chosen to paint the Ute or is it going to be a reveal at the end

Looking good mate. I looked at both tailgates at Rare Spares and went with the thicker one. I just couldn't bring myself to put one on the ute that was so much lighter than the original one. But at the end of the day, we all know that it will end up with a dent right in the middle. 😂 Have you picked a colour yet? Or is that top secret? Are you going to make it a surprise and do a "big reveal" episode at the end? 😂

Hi Barnsey How safe do you reckon the ventalation fan you used is with regards to causing an explosion? And what lights would you use to be safe?

Hey barnsey, is the house taking up time because I haven’t seen a vid for a while

do you juse and explotion proof motor?

Doing good work .what's your garage size

Were you concerned that the fan was not explosion proof ? Looking to set up similar system in my garage...

What was with iron man
