Powder and Wet Spray Booth

Q. Is it feasible to use the same spray booth for both power paint and wet paint?

A. It is feasible but not advisable to use one spray booth for both powder and liquid paint. You might find that the filters will block up (actually "cake up") very rapidly and soon you will not get sufficient airflow through the booth. If you have an opportunity to purchase a second spray booth, you will be better off.
