| I just finished painting my home built spray booth. I'll post some images and give you an update on how it works later.
In the end I went with Nigel's suggestion of using a cooker hood extractor for extracting paint fumes.
I used some hardwood battens to make a frame and 9mm ply for the panels - it's built a bit like a wooden ****house but that was the only sheet material that came to hand!

I suspect that via this forum his advice will be used by many people for many years to come.

| Yes Richard,we have a permanent reminder of everything he suggested and did within the forum,I do not think anything quite like this has happened to me on a forum before,it has left a big void,I just wish that I had met him and spoke to him more than I had done.
