Paint Booth

Since I wanted to prime the internal surfaces of the empennage and didn’t have a place to do it, I began to fantasize about the possibility of building a paint booth.  One thing led to another and I ended up spending more than a week designing and building the facility.  I found a really good electric fan on Craigslist and bought 1 1/4″ PVC tubing, plastic sheeting and filters from Home Depot and used about half of my shop to build a 10′ by 20′ booth.

I inaugurated it by doing the priming for the Horizontal Stabilizer.

I protected myself with a good mask and sprayed all the surfaces with Tempo Zinc Phosphate Primer.

After this paint booth hiatus,  things began to move quickly.

Time: 20 hours
