3. 28" extraction fan with evacuation through the roof of the factory ( was prefab structure is built inside the factory )
4. Incoming air filtration through 3 large roof panels with synthetic felter
5. Extraction air filtration with a specific media ( not sure what it is )
6. Specific painting room neon bulbs ( very cold neon light that magnifies the paint imperfections )
I had a bit of a hard time to seal the room from dust initially. Took several trials and passes with silicon before the setup was good enough for proper painting.
Hmm....
I didn't know you were an SR-71 aficionado Oli, is that yours? Judging by how much of the room it fills up and the dimensions you gave for the room, that's 'gotta be a pretty good sized project. I always really liked that airplane going back to when it was originally known as a YF-12A.
Hard to tell from a picture on the Internet, but it sure looks good!
