RT-P's new toy


Recommended Posts

ok just to clear things up. This is not a hairstylist toy. This is an industrial extraction chamber measuring 3.5 meters wide. Tomorrow we're having to take out the entire wall behind our spray booth to fit this baby in.

Yaaaaayyy! Spraying! :P :P :P:) :) :P:)

Thats looking superb, it'll certainly help you get quality a quality finish on your products. A friend of mine is in the trade and could never get the cash together for the full extraction unit and no matter how careful he was always got something stuck in the paintwork :P So well done for splashing out :)

By the way what will you be charging to spray the ends of the Gen 7 GT spoilers which have the carbon blade in that lovely new piece of kit you've got??

Looks good Ray :) when you think everything will be up and running?

I cant say when we're up and running 100% but for the past few weeks we've been doing some mechanical work such as superstrut suspension repairs, exhaust changes and services to keep us going.

Fabrications wise in the UK we're a bit buggered because we're not ready and still waiting on some machinery to arrive.

Spraying we can and have been doing for the past two weeks but stopped now to install the extractor and after install the inlet filter panels.

But for spraying we should be fully ready as of next week and will be working on Johnys light weight GT4 carboned by us.

WE have a bit of a back log of spray jobs so really pushing to cram them in 1 after another.

Yes we've seen many people though very skilled, still use a DIY shed with a small motorised fan with no filtration.

We've spent thousands on our booth and on equipment which we believe can't be skimped on.

In the past we've sprayed in isolated conditions as most people do but it's not ideal. Keeping steady temp is near imposable and the standard extraction only stops you from getting lost in the mist and choking to death.

Though our sprayer is very skilled, qualified and have been spraying for 8 years, he still has to re-touch and polish off tiny bits.

This extractor will not only make the job perfect 1st time round when spraying, it'll significantly reduce our spraying time because we wouldn't have to go back for any corrections.

We've isolated 2 rooms in our workshop. 1 prep room and 1 spray room to ensure that we reduce as much contamination as possible when spraying.

As for the spoiler, I'll announce it later on when they arrive. Keep an eye out in the Spoiler thread.
