DIY spray booth
I'm planning on doing some paint and body work to my Vespa p200e, so I'm building a temporary spray booth in my garage.
This wood was cannibalized from an old futon frame. I even used the screws from the futon to rescrew the boards back together:
The rest of it will consist of a plastic tarp from Lowe's and a cheap ($12) bathroom fan and a dryer duct for ventilation.
After some thought I decided to use aerosol spray paint (rattle cans) to paint the scooter instead of using my bosses compressed air paint spray gun. I did order the good stuff though, Krylon spray paint and top coat.
I'd like to acknowledge JPM at Redhaus for his Vespa p200e restoration page. Every time this project looked like it was going to be too big I would reference his pages. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here, I still have a long way to go.
A *Vespa*!
Well aren't you just the cat's meow?
We only have lowly "People" scooters, but we love them as though they were Vespas.

Some of those People scoots are actually a little priceier than a refurbished 70's Vespa. (not including a body refinishing) But I would imagine they are a little easier to maintain, and aren't 4 speeds. what kind do you guys have?
