hi

do rental spray booths exist in the UK??? i am quite acceptable at painting, can get the paint but need a spray booth or nice big warm garage but i aint got the latter so i want to rent the former.

any ideas or would a 12ft x 24ft army tent with some heaters a dehumidifier and lined with poly sheeting and a poly covered floor be good.

after seeing the results of some guy on here who did his mini van in a gazebo i'd say you'd be ok in that as long as your not after a concourse finish? Maybe wait till the air isn't as damp though?

Im actually looking into a similar setup unless i can find a nice neighbour willing to rent me a warm garage.

concourse depends on his skill at painting, and if the surroundings are as stable as he suggest they will be, it's more than possible, damp air wont be a problem with the de-humidifyer he's looking at....

yr set up will be fine be better in less damp air better till wait till april.i have now done 2 in a canvas cover with lino on the floor,as you are already adapt at spraying you will be ok and as you prob know the imperfections will be flatted out and polished ive seen as many quailty diy finishes and i get plenty of complimentson mine even though its not perfect so go for it.

arr booths really are good for is drying the paint and getting rid of the fumes in a controlled way. we dont have £25.000 spare in work for a booth so we make do with a brick room with lights and a parrafin heater and my finishes are right up there with the best from peugeot, ford etc. its the booth prepwork before you start painting thats the key factor.

Bring it up to mine on a sunday and you can use my spray booth , it will cost you about £15 in gas
