I am revamping an half of an old loafing barn into a body shop for an excuse to love what I do instead of a dreaded job. Anyhow we are taking the stalls out and pouring concrete and adding heat, insultion, lights etc. But the ceiling is somewhat irregular. As a result I will have to custom build my spray booth out of plywood...or? I would like it to be a cross draft booth. The foot print will be 20 buy 30 feet. So far I have 3 914s and a bug that will need to be painted. I am looking for ideas from any one who has built a permanent booth, from air extraction fans, filtration, heat,to doors etc... looking for ideas.

if you haven't put concrete in I would think about in-floor with pex and a water heater.

and if you havent insulated think about foam.

Dirt in a paint job comes from the compressed air, the painter, the object being painted and the enviornment in that order
