  4. Oh heck no I don't use anything that elaborate., that is a great looking booth. My father built mine, seems like a hundred years ago now. It's built out of cheep plywood, it's far far from perfect but it works now as it did than. It was made to keep the paint from getting all over the garage when I was younger, a lot younger. Has a little hole where you put the hose in and a small blower (original blower) turn it on and out goes most of the over spray. Line the inside with newspaper and change as needed. Crude but it works. When you relay on Social Security for a lot of your income, you sure as hell can't afford anything like yours,. You said that you built it, hey wood ain't cheep. 200.00 hell if I spent that, my dogs wouldn't get to eat for a couple of months, and that ain't going to happen, they eat first than I eat the scraps. LOL LOL Jeff
  5. Hi guys ! Yes the picture that Bugman9317 put up is what I am talking about. With the few modifications that I did to it, it works great for me. Sorry Big Tall Dad and others, There is just no way I can put pictures on here, 2 reasons I ain't smart enough to do that as I have no idea how it's done and I don't even own a camera, oh yea I don't own a smart phone either, for that part I don't even have a cell phone. I am just a 71 year old disabled guy who is attached to a oxygen machine 24/7 and stays at home and works on his several hobbies. Who also enjoys reading this forum. Jeff
  6. Hi Guys ! I also spray in a booth but with the part sitting in the booth it can still get dust in the wet paint, ask me how I know this. LOL So to cure this, I went to the Dollar Store and bought one of those big plastic cake covers. The kind the wife uses to cover left over cake, if there is any. I took the lid of it and drilled 4 1/2 inch holes around the bottom, than took some window screening and epoxied it tight around the holes so the inside can breath. Now when I paint, I move the wet painted piece to the plate on the bottom of the cake thing (comes with the top as a complete unit) and cover the object. With the holes in the bottom, the paint can gas out and no dust or foreign object can get in Jeff

  10. Kerry, This is something that my son and I have had some success at. If you have access to a laser printer you copy the old decals on to a fresh piece of decal paper. Than just use like a regular decal, there's no putting clear on them or anything like that. It works because it's not the decal that goes bad, it's the paper and adhesive, so once you get them on fresh paper there good to go. It has to be done with a laser printer, that way there already set on the paper when they come out of the machine. Hope this helps Jeff
  11. I took a piece of wood (1 x 4 ) cut it about 6 1/2 inches long, drilled a hole in it about 1 1/2 inches from the end, Squared the hole out so as a small square Testors bottle fit in it. Glued a piece of 1/4 inch plywood on the bottom. Now when I get A bottle lid that fights me I just drop it in the hole and put the pliers to it. gives me all the leverage I need to get er open. Also works as a place to leave the bottle while I paint, haven't spilled a bottle since I made it. Also makes a good holder for when you clean off the threads on the bottle. Jeff
