Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super

Amazing progress! The paint booth brings back old memories - I primed and painted more than a few cars, a boat and a couple of trailers in a similar setup although I also rented time in a proper booth occasionally. I rolled up and stapled a 1x2 at the bottom of the plastic so it sat a little tighter on the floor, and wet the floor before spraying for dust control. When I wasn't painting I rolled each side up to the ceiling and held it there (bungees? Can't remember that part). Also always used a ground strap which is probably still a good idea to get rid of static electricity. I used to shoot some flake and metallics and they didn't lay down right w/o a good ground.

Looking forward to more progress!
