If you saw my post about the 60x60 workshop, I am nearing completion of the finishing room. I made this with spraying in mind. The fan is awaiting an explosion proof motor, which is stuck in customs. There will be wall cabinets along the left wall and a rolling table under those. Lighting is LED. The walls are 3/4” treated ply, which I got for $17.50 a sheet, and it was cheaper than wallboard. If anyone tries to break in through the sheetmetal outer walls, they are going to have to get through 3/4” ply screwed into studs that are screwed into the steel beams.
The fan may or may not provide enough CFM’s. It was in the previous spray room from the prior tenant, but that room was far from engineered. I stepped up the rpm’s and will experiment with this fan before spending more $$$. I know how to properly size a fan if CFM’s are known, but they are not known for this fan. It was free, except the new motor was another $300 landed cost.
Entry will be two glass double doors that I had on hand. That lets the light from this room provide light into the shop as well- utilizes energy spent for lighting as well as possible. Also the exhaust fan will help draw air through the shop. There will be multiple filters on the opposite wall.
Room is 10x20 with 9’ ceiling. There will be hooks in the ceiling for hanging parts for spraying. First job will be my Harley fenders and tank. Mostly, however, this room will see hand finishing and some spraying of cabinets. Most sprayed finishes will be water based, but I wanted to be safe and sprung for the explosion proof motor.
