Although the down draft mock up works ok, Im going to build a back draft version instead. The natural flow.of.paint when spraying is towArds the back. I was having too much paint coming back out with the current setup. Pics soon to follow.

I agree Art. Looking at pictures of the Peacekeeper gives me a general idea of its design, but the overall design and dimensions of the core are not easily attainable. I suppose.that when I build this correct out of wood that there will be.less open seams for air to leak in and out of.

Try to PM him instead.

Thxmopor. I tested it today. Not too bad, but I might use both fans as down draft. Under the filter is a 3/8 inch gap with a board that has many 1' dia holes, to help dissipate the air.being.sucked.in. I will make the final version of this open space 1/2".

Unfortunately computer based translation programs aren't always reliable. Just be happy a fellow modeler is sharing his stuff.

And here's the motor specs http://m.grainger.com/mobile/details/?R=4C442

I will probably just do the bottom draft, like you mentioned the cross fan idea might be too much. Few.more updates of the mock up....height subtracted by inch and a quarter.

Bathroom fan has been debated here and every other forum for safety reasons. The old motor was from an old furnace. More cardboard mock up. The cars and paint are for you to see size reference. The filter will simply drop in a recessed panel.

Yup...vented out the basement window with 4 inch round duct.

The picture.here shows my old spray booth. My new booth will be.similar in.design. Its currently resting on a mock up made out of.cardboard. The cardboard mock up is.going to house the down draft fan.The actual booth housing will look similar to the old one on top, but a little bigger.

I've been using a small home made paint booth for a few months now. It used a $25 bathroom fan and vented outside. I've been searching for a squirrel cage motor, and 2 landed in my hands for free a few weeks ago. The first motor was pulled from an old furnace. I tested on my small booth and it works good. Later that day a friend gave me a brand new Dayton motor. The current booth is too small, so its time to make a bigger one. I am thinking of using both fans: the higher rpm new Dayton motor for a down draft fan, and the older fan for rear draft. Think its overkill? Im trying to avoid fumes in the house at all cost. The basis for the size of the booth will be the standard 10x20x1 common air filter. I've read over Klaus 's article, but it is waaay over my head as far as calculations. Any input encouraged. Here's some pics of.the motors:

And we will close on a positive note.

The basecoat was fully cured. My.concern was not.the. quality of the paint job itself, rather the color was lighter than i thought.

Luckily i have 3 hobby lobbys near me which carry neo parts.

Agreed. Lets go build models shall we?

So a metallic silver might help? Ill try that. What about any other metallic color?

Exactly Cranky. I thought about getting the eclipse, but the Neo is.just fine for smaller items on models. Plus it doesn't waste as much paint.

I just bought the Iwata Neo today. It is a wonderful brush, lays down paint just fine. I also have the Paasche H...super also.

I plan on painting a Catalina with Boyd's Ice Blue Pearl. I first tested on some plastic spoons using airbrushed Model Master aluminum metalizer as the base coat, then many layers of the Ice Blue pearl. I was expecting the color to really pop, but it didn't. It looked nice, but not like i thought it would. I tested on a few primary colors as a basecoat to no avail. Is.there something i should be using specifically as a basecoat to make the pearl really pop out?

Mold on your model is the least of your worries. You better check the rest of your house. Is it dark colored or light?

How did you scribe the door lines?

This really is cool. You dont see enough concept/googie style model cars, and this is the perfect way to overcome that dillema!

When I start a model I highlight each area on the instructions that I had problems with a prior models. This way when I come up to step number 9, which might be installing a windshield, I know to be extra careful in that area. I also keep a small list of problems I have from all my builds, and I'll refer to that list for each new build. Lately I've been building very easy models just so I can practice perfect my skills. Once I feel that my skills are improved ill start building nicer, harder to build cars. And there's nothing wrong with boxing the car up starting it again at a later date.

What brand?
