I decided to build a temporary paint booth in my garage to paint parts for my 1979 Camaro and my 1971 C10 truck. Things got out of hand. I build a pulley system to move the wall in a couple of seconds. The set up time for this paint booth is very impressive. This is a must have in every garage if you plan on painting classic cars.

Here is the parts list

3 mil 10×25″ Polar Plastics clear plastic sheeting (I used 4 of these)
1″ pvc and elbows (for the lower frame)
1×2″ wood pieces (for the upper frame)
a handful of Screw Eyes
a handful of Open S Hooks
2 Hitching Rings with square plate (the hoop)
3/16″ 100′ Polypropylene diamond braided rope (depends on how many walls you need)
3/4″ Koch single sheave pulley (depends on how many walls you need)
1″ 4×8′ Polystyrene foam board cut to fit your doorway
20x20x1″ True Blue Fiberglass House filter (for the fans)
20x24x1″ True Blue Pleated Media Furnace Filter (for the foam door)

    Busted, did you do any type of de-dusting or vacuuming prior to painting? Or did you rely on the fans and filters over a period of time? How did your finish turn out on the hood?

    So I rent my place and I'm painting a friend's car in here. do I have to cover the ceiling with plastic as well that's going to be hard

    Very nice. What filters are you using for box fans?

    Excellent presentation Classic Garage – very innovative and "out of the way" Can you give us an upgrade on how it work on one of your vehicles? Thank you again for the time and effort you took to create this DIY paint booth. Ciao, L (from Maine).

    You sound like Frank Oz.

    How is the airflow with the 2 fans and your inlet filters? Does the paint move decently out of the booth?

    Yes, what you made will work as I made one very similar for painting sailplane
    wings in my basement. The biggest problem down the road will be all of the overspray dust that will collect on the plastic walls on the inside that will create a dust problem for you down the road.
