I know there's a lot of info and opinions out there about spray booths but I have a very basic question that I hope can be answered easily enough. The back story here is that I'm going to be moving into an apartment with no balcony or any real area that I can paint in. I'm thinking about buying a spray booth so I can continue to build.  I'd have to vent this out of one of my windows and despite being on the third (top) floor, I'd hate to bug my neighbors with excessive fumes or overspray.

 

So my question is this: If I were to use a professional spraybooth i.e. a Pace booth, how strong are the fumes at the vent and with proper filtering is there any appreciable amount of overspray that could potentially bother my neighbors?

 

I'd probably be using mostly and airbrush but would use spray cans as well.

 

I'm curious to hear your thoughts and thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hi all,  I got the parts below as extras in any open box kit. Sorry the picture is a little far away but can anyone point me in the direction of which kit(s) these might be from. If needed, I'll get some closer shots up tomorrow. Thanks!

I'm looking for some 1/25 disk brake calipers. I don't really need the brake disks. I've looked around and I can't seem to find any. Does anyone know if there is a caster out there that offers something like this in resin?

Thanks for any direction!

I've got a body that I'm working on that I sprayed, gassed out and hit with the polishing kit. There were still a few rough spot so I hit it with some Novus #2. I didn't realize before I did this, but I had burned through the paint in a few small places and now I'd like to touch it up.

I imagine that paint won't like sticking to the surfaces hit with the polish. Is there a good way to wash the body with some cleanser that would allow me to keep painting with out stripping the whole car?

Thanks for any advice.

For what it's worth the paint was airbrushed, Testors enamel gloss Red thinned with lacquer thinner, no clear coat.

I've searched around and nothing has come up, but does anyone make decals to replicate engine-turned metal in 1/24-25 scale?

Or does anyone have an idea how to replicate this?

Thanks.
