Hey guys.

I've been thinking of painting my s13 as the old paint is pretty well gone.

So I'm wondering if anyone could tell how to set up a spray booth. I've gotten a few tips from mates like putting water down so no dust blows up and keeps the booth humid.

I have a carport I am planning on hanging tarps from.

I know how to do all the prep work it's mainly just setting up the spray booth and not getting over-spray on everything else. What should I use to ventilate it?

Any advice would be great.

PS: I know the paint will probably turn out shit cause I'm not a pro but it's something I want to have a crack at and if I do alright I can think about doing my r33 as well.

It would probably be cheaper and less hassles if you hired a spay booth from a panel shop. I know some do this to reduce the costs of running a spray booth. The worst they can say is no :down:

Yea mate I have thought of that but I would like to go slow and not have to worry about getting the car out of the way or paying for extra hours and I also have a few other cars I might do if the silvia turns out ok.

the biggest issue with home spray booths is that you wont get enough air extraction to remove airborne particles like dust and paint, which will result in poor finish.

but if you must...

Ahhhh thanks funky.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
