The paint booth is operational.

Lighting installed. Six -eight foot LED light strips, 6500K, 15000 lumens each suspended around perimeter of booth at 8' height. Good lighting and no shadows on the work. The outfit I purchased the lighting from is

Reasonable price, good quality. When done with the Nieuport, and a few side painting projects, I'll install the strips in the hangar housing my WACO.

Calibrating the gun on a test panel:


The real stuff:


The parts are hung by hardware store wire. Soft, strong enough and comes in a roll. Easy to use. One item not visible is the 2X4 on the floor below the parts. The 2X4 has construction screws driven at intervals that anchor the suspended parts with the above referenced wire so they don't blow around when sprayed. Simple and effective.

The hood is a Hobby Air fresh air supply. Works good. I can get away without a coverall on the small bits, will probably need to coverup with the large parts. The best part about the full hood, in addition to clean air, is it keeps the vapors and overspray out of my eyes.
