V8tiger Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I have one of the double fan spray booths that I bought from Amazon. I do love it but it came with thin plastic liner and it's getting all funky after doing over 20 cars... I tried to clean it but it really doesn't come clean.. I cleaned the turn table with lacquer thinner and it come out like new.. I was wonder what you guys use for a liner... I was reading on the web that aluminum foil works. I was also thinking that maybe poster paper would work and just use the 3m double side tape to hold it up.. any suggestions.. Thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Several years back I came in possession of several (hundreds) of sheets of newsprint, they are about 2X3 feet. My spray booth is a home-built unit made of plywood. I simply thumbtack a couple sheets of the newsprint inside to cover the walls and floor, run some blue tape down the center overlap and use that until it needs changing, then do it again. If you were to go to a newspaper publisher close to where you live, they may have off-cuts they would be willing to give you or sell for a minimum charge.

Joe Nunes Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We have an ACE Hardware store nearby that is also a U-Haul rep. They have clean newsprint paper in individual boxes with multiple sheets. I think the paper is 24" x 36" in size. Something like this would make a good liner; tape the sheets where required and replace when you need to. 🙂 Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcoat Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Dollar store bristle board cut to size. Let one side get grungy flip over and let other side build up. Throw out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Dollar Tree foam core poster board. $1.25 plus tax. Enough for most spray booths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
935k3 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I use freezer paper to line my booth. It is sold at all grocery stores. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagerpm Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) I use scrap cardboard and heavy paper from various sources. There always seems to be some coming into the house. Just about any kind of paper product should work. Edited March 3, 2023 by vintagerpm typos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick L Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I line my paint booth with a Boston Sunday Globe I bought back in 2005 for a couple of bucks. Still have plenty of pages left. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctruss53 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I just line the bottom of my spray booth with news paper or paper towels. And then when I paint I spray the paper liner with some water. I paint, and then I throw out the liner after each paint job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I got a bunch of out dated desk calendars from work, they are about 2x3 feet each x 14 months so I'll be set for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I lined mine with galvanized sheet steel and sealed edges and corners with reinforced aluminium duct tape. Edited March 12, 2023 by Cool Hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownlow Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I raid the kitchen drawers and use Press and Seal. You can even cover the lights and it comes off easily when too dirty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cole Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Press n' Seal. Just stick it on. Edited March 13, 2023 by Jon Cole 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunday Globe now, like many other papers, is tiny compared to what it used to be, and is now about twice as expensive, if not more.

My old home made paint booth just got the inside painted with whatever was inside the airbrush after every project. Looked like the underside of an inner city overpass!
