New Toy FOR The Workbench!

[Don Banes]

I picked this up a few weeks ago from Bob Pace. It's the "Peace Keeper Deluxe" version of his line of booths. It took me an entire Sunday just to make space for this beast, and I intend on "firing it up" tomorrow. I haven't had a real spray booth for over twenty years now, and painting outside was getting real old. Besides, it's too cold now.

At my age, it's all about the comfort level, and this booth will boost that level a few notches. For those of you in the market for a spray booth, try www.pacepaintbooths.com/pace/. No, I'm not paid to pitch his product! LOL!

You'll love it!!! I plan to use mine some more this weekend. I have Monday off as well for President's Day!!!

Here's a pic of mine.

I made a removable vent using a prefab dryer duct and hose and some 1/8" masonite board. When I use it, I open the window and insert the vent. Then I close the window to the top of the board. When I'm finished, I remove the vent and close the window.

Keep us posted on how you like it.

There's a fourth member. Chuck Darnell bought one (Peace Keeper Deluxe) after I e-mailed him a picture of mine. He's pretty pleased with it, like the rest of us.

This morning, I went to Lowe's and bought a piece of Plexiglass that's sized for the booth's spray area. I may also make some doors for it out of plexi, to keep the airborne junk out of it when it's not in use.

I too have some friends that are looking at getting a Pace paint booth of their own. Bob should give us a commission.

Bob should, but I doubt that he will! LOL!

I finally had some time to fiddle with my booth this weekend, and it's just great! The fan is relatively quiet, and evacutaes the overspray and stink very nicely. I had a very satisfying Tamiya rattle can fest, and everything turned out nicely. The little bit of overspary that settled on the inside of the booth will clean up with some 91% al-kee-hall. I can paint iside now, and the Wife doesn't complain about the stink (can't blame her for complaining). Plus, I have a cat here, and I don't want him getting sick (or worse) from the paint and it's fumes. It's All Good!
