My kits supposed to be here today or tomorrow. Anyone else have or has used one? My hope is it'll cut down on dust nibs since I'll no longer be painting on my trailer bed. I'll take lots of pictures once I get it inflated sometime this weekend.

Not much to report other than it has arrived. I spent an hour plus in the dental chair yesterday having oral surgery... and its 100 degrres outside.. but i did manage to suffer long enough today to install a dedicated outside outlet on the back of the house for my power supply. Between the jaw and the heat it was about all i could do for today. Ill post up pics whenever i feel better and can handle getting it inflated.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Well it was slightly cooler than the surface of the sun this AM so i decided to see just how this thing blows up. Super easy. Just hook big blower to the bigger blue air tube and plug it in. 5 minutes and it was ready.
Has a filter on the cabin air feed and two 3x5 FT filtered exhaust panels. All filters are velcro attached for removal and i assume machine washable. Water hose cleanable for sure. has a heavy canvas style floor sewn in so it is 100 percent sealed from ground debris. I am seriously impressed. Inside measures 8X13 FT.
Unzip two deflation ports to deflate and roll it up like a sleeping bag and store in the provided storage bag.
VIEW FROM INSIDE. NOTE THE SMALL BLACK PATCH IN THE CORNER. THATS THE FILTER FOR THE CABIN AIR. LARGE DOOR FOR PUTTING LARGE PARTS IN AND A MAN DOOR NEXT TO THE AIR INLET TUBE.

there are 3 sewn in loops from the ceiling but some PVC fittings and tubing and you can make any kinda hanger rack youll need. That and a small folding table should do the trick. Ceiling is like 7 FT so you can make some pretty tall hangers.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Well it does its job keeping a sterile environment BUT BUT it could use a vastly improved evacuation of fumes and spray dust floating around. I have a buddy that does HVAC and he has tons of furnace blowers. Plan is to get one and figure out just how i want to deploy it. Either make a stand from inside and have it blow through the filter mesh to the outside OR set it up outside the enclosure and have a plenum up against the filter mesh and suck exhaust out, Whatever i cobble together ill post pics.
The Magna tanks looking pretty sharp all things considered.

It will flatten out. Im liking it so far.
As for deflation and storage. Maybe 15 minutes to deflate, fold and roll, and stuff into the storage bag. Threw bag over my shoulder and walked into the house. Easy as pie to use this tent. Im giving it an 8 out of 10 only due to the deficiency in evacuating the booth of fumes and spray mist.Last edited by chuck hahn; 07-24-2022, 07:26 PM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

If you are shooting urethane, you must have good ventilation. A regular spray mask is not adequate to properly protect you. In looking at some inflatable booths on Amazon, many come with two blowers: one to inflate, and a second, to ventilate. The ventilation method looks quite simple, so you should be able to rig something up using a blower.Ed
