Paint Booth Budget Build

  I'm would like to build a spray both. I have read "Klaus" article and quite a few others on the internet.  I can't find a fan/motor assemble that will justify building my own booth.

  I realize you need an explosion proof motor. For the price I have found on line, it would be just as inexpensive to buy a completed (booth) unit.

 I have found fans with motors outside the airflow (ie dryer motor), again not cost effective.

 I have read about computer co-axial fans being viable and cost friendly, but I can't locate one with the proper specs (cfm, watts. amps ect.

 At this this point I'm going to pick up a ceiling fan (motor in airflow) and put a seal coat of epoxy around the wires myself. Are there any electricians in this forum? Does this method appear to be unsafe? After all, isn't that what makes a motor explosion proof ?

  Could anyone guide me to a fan/motor that would justify building my own booth? If I have to spend $100 on a motor, I might as well spend another $50 and get something ready to go.

   Any input would be more than welcome.     Thanks Steve

Breitling Bentley GMT V8 Limited Edition Timepiece

British luxury automaker, Bentley, and Swiss timepiece maker, Breitling, have been partners-in-crime far longer than any of us can remember. So it only seemed appropriate that the latter would commemorate the launch of the new Continental V8 with a limited edition timepiece.

The Breitling for Bentley GMT V8 is a limited piece luxury watch that pays homage to the newest model in the Bentley line-up. Among the features of the Breitling for Bentley GMT V8 include a metallic red inner city bezel that plays a nice contrast with the watch’s black dial and the Royal Ebony dial. There are also cambered sapphire crystal that have been glare proofed on both sides with 38 additional jewels. There’s also a red triangle-tipped hour hand that completes one rotation every 24 hours, a multiple timezone display, an automatic COSC-chronometer-certified chronograph with a Breitling exclusive ?30-second chronograph,? 6-hour, 15-minute, and 30-second totalizers, a screw-locked crown, and a sweep seconds hand that makes one full turn of the dial in half-a-minute, allowing readings that are accurate to an amazing 1/8th of a second.

For all of its unique characteristics – and the fact that it’s a Breitling – the 250-piece limited edition watch costs $10,590 a pop. It’s expensive for a watch, but it’s a bargain compared to actually buying the car itself, which by the way, costs 20 times as much.
