The Joys of well planned wiring and plumbing
Way back when, I used to operate a business dealing in paintball gear. Doing various modifications and such, I accumulated a lot of air fittings and experience working with them. So this part was a natural for me to simply run a remote hose from the compressor to the regulator, allowing me to hide the compressor in the space under the spray booth. I just needed to add a shelf underneath to hold the compressor, and the rest basically fell into place. When all close up, all that is exposed is the regulator. I even have a couple of hooks to hold the airbrush for me both when I'm not using it and if I have to put it down while spraying.
The fittings are all quick connect style, so that I can remove the hose and pull up the shelf if needed without using any tools. Though the hose may be a bit too restrictive for this use, in that case I just need to get a larger size of the same type fittings.
It also leaves me the option to add an air tank as well, which I want to do at some point.
Then I also did some electrical work as well. I added a light switch that turns on both the compressor and exhaust fan at the same time. All I need to do to start spraying is open the window behind the booth, and flip a switch. No more makeshift cardboard booth in another room, and even more importantly no more overspray going into my lungs. |
