I was pretty sure everything that could go wrong in a paint booth has happened to me at some point, but recently i had the strangest, most unexpected thisng happen.
I had just finished taping, cleaning and tack-ragging my truck and was prepping to spray sealer.
I had the bed off of the truck on a stand so I decided to start spraying sealer on the bed. I made my first pass on the inner jamb of the bed (by the bulkhead), then squatted down to start spraying from the bottom up on the bedside.
As I squatted down and started spraying, I heard a loud WHOOOSHHHH!!! I stared at my gun for a couple seconds confused........then the booth started filling with a yellow powder:nightmare:
The guy that owned the shop had put a fire extinguisher in there (i didnt know) and when I squatted, I sat on the handle which discharged the extinguisher. Needless to say I was pissed, and had to stop and wait to clean the mess. It was a huge delay, but luckily there was no harm done. It is pretty funny to me now.
Anybody else have any crazy experiences to share?
