I'm at the point where I need to build a spray booth in the shop.
The building is 25'X30' and I can essentially make a booth as big or little as I like.
Currently I'm planning on framing up a 6'X8' room and blow forced air into the room and vent it to the outdoors.

Is that size big enough to work with if I'm spraying 1 or 2 guitars at a time? Could it be smaller?

Thanks for the advice.

Dave

Dave, that would work great. My "booth" is 6'x4' and I can do 2 guitars at at time in my booth. Here's a post on my shop with details of my booth.

6'X8' would be a comfortable size. Mine is 8'X8'. I've done as many a 5 guitars at one time.

My booth is 4'-0" wide , 8'-0" deep and 8'-0" high and I could spray 2 at a time , it would be a lil cramped but I could do it. I have since hung orange door strips as a door way and it seems to work quite well .
