Hard to see in this pic, but I made like 10 4x8 framed panels and covered the ceiling and floor in plastic. Have fans on either ends. Cost like $200-300 to make. ![http://kloptech.com/hosting/240sx/july08/black1.jpg](http://kloptech.com/hosting/240sx/july08/black1.jpg) ---

I built a small booth for parts and epoxy work in my basement. Sealed it off and ducted out an exhaust system. I took an attic fan, extended the shaft (no homo) and atted a pully to the end. then ran the electric motor outside the wall and cut a small slot in the wall to feed the belt through. very little fumes actually go out of the room through that little belt slot. Workes like a champ and it really sucks, fumes. explosion proof fans are $$$. but then again, if you read up on it, I have yet to see someone actually blow up without them. But this was in my house, so I didnt want to take a chance. ---

your paint job will always be “sub-par” without heat lamps to cure the paint properly. don’t get me wrong, decent results have been achieved, but not having the proper curing properties really throws a wrench in your work. the paint will react much differently in this weather. you can shoot primer outside now, no problem, but i wouldn’t go for paint until spring, as my 3 series will. the cheapest and easiest way to set one up is to use plastic sheeting everywhere possible. prep/ tape/ wash the car outside your booth, keeping all the dirt/ dust, etc out of there all together is the challenge. after the final wetsand/ wash, spray the floor down with water to keep dust settled and at a minimum. box fans are cheap, and have been used successfully. if it was me, i’d either find a place to prep the car, and hold off on paint until spring, or just hold off all together until spring. ---
