Midget Sanblasted/ Ready For Primer

Hey Scott -
It looks good!
I painted my sprite in the garage in a plastic-lined home-made booth like yours, and the one thing I learned was that paint overspray (primer especially) will stick to the plastic. Once it is dry, the slightest breeze or touch to the plastic will cause the paint to flake off and land on the fresh paint on the car.
I had to change the plastic after my first coat of color due to the peppering of gray primer that landed on my British Racing Green..
hope ths helps,
Bob
 
Thanks Bob, I ran a really big fan with 2 AC filters duct taped to the back of it so overspray was really cut to a bare min. But I did toss the first wave of plastic. Ive got a while before the body work will be really complete and I can paint. I only hope that I can keep the spray booth frame intact til than. (Ill have to work around it I suppose.) Wecome to the BCF by the way Bob.
