Misting Spray Booth

[BKIN10SECS]

Was just curious, does anyone ever lightly mist the floor and walls of their spray booths with water to keep down dust particles? I know whenever I may be at a body shop it seems they always spray down their paint booth.

I do this every single painting session.

I know a modeler that lays napkins down in his and spray it down with water.

no never have..i just keep the filter clean and it wiped down with a wet cloth, turn on my blower and blow it out with air in a can before i paint leaving the blower on minuets before i start spraying.

No, I line the walls and floor with white butcher paper which lasts a long time. The booth is vacuumed, then the filter cleaned out after every painting session.  Prior to painting, the fan is turned on for an hour or two. This seems to pull any airborne dust into the filters before it would have landed on fresh paint. The cleaner the booth, the cleaner the paint is what I am finding.

Yes, I always do.  Just one of my pre paint procedures.

I line mine with Press and seal film. I also run my fans in advance of painting.

I first clean my spraybooth with Windex then just before painting I shoot a mist of Windex on the walls and floor.  Works for me but everybody is different so it's whatever works.

yes i mist water in my spray booth then run it for about5/10-mins before painting (usually run it while i mix my paint)

Thats what I do also. Then I wipe the body thoroughly with Tamiya's static display brush. Does a great job at eliminating dust before painting.
