I have a make shift booth but I still get some trash in my paint and have flaws. I will probably cut and buff when I'm done which will remove most of them. It is just really hard to get great professional results in a small shop with out a good booth and high end paint guns... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile i cant remember where i picked up that idea, but it worked for the guy who did it. im going to add a small valve that will allow me to limit the vacuum. if it doesnt work it will be easy enough to plug it off. worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
