Brief Description:  Top Cowl Repaint 1

I repainted the top cowl. It had scratches and spots where the squares of the fiberglass weave shown thru. Looks better now. I painted it in my garage paint booth.

The garage paint booth is good at not letting paint dust out, but not as good at preventing dust in. I'm getting a little more trash in my paint then I did in the big boat paint booth.

I changed the booth from a pressure booth to a vacuum booth. Now the fans blow air out thru two filters and into a black cloth. No dust escape. Air comes in thru the filter on the floor in the back, but it also comes in thru any crack in the booth canvas. This is where the dirt comes in. I could probably improve by wetting down the whole area before painting. And I should raise the inlet up, make it bigger with more filters.
