For respirator air keep an eye out for a cpapp machine. Some guys know them as a snore machine. You wear them at night to help with sleep apnea. Anyway, they are just a supply of fresh ambient air through a small fan in a machine out to a face piece. You could place the machine out in some fresh air and just run a long hose to your face piece inside the booth. Better than just a filter mask. Run the hose together with your paint gun air hose, taped every so often, so you only have to deal with one rats nest. Paint fumes kill.
Nice looking shop. I like what youre doing with the truck too. Looks good. Love the color. Like you dipped it in plastic. Good job on the paint, smooth. Have you painted lots before? Nice to see real paint, not just flat black or fake patina, cant wait for that trend to finish. Back in the day there were lots of primered hotrods driving around but that was because guys couldnt afford to paint. Nowadays guys paint stuff and then buff the nice new paint down so it looks "old" again. Dont seem right to me, Just a personal opinion though.
Hey, keep up the good work and please keep posting pics for us guys who are laid up and cant work on our own stuff.
