Well done, it's given me an idea for a triple Mustang

The surgery you've done on this is incredible!

Thanks everyone.

I looked up about the antistatic pads and cheap ones are  over $20.00. I have aluminum foil and copper wire I can clamp to a water pipe. That should do it. I should have thought of this before!

I had never considered grounding could solve the issue, please update us if it does help against the dust and lint.

Obviously it won't keep stuff from settling on the work desk but at least you can dust it off without it clinging right back on again. That's the part I hate especially when I'm painting. I'll have to try this somehow in my paint booth. A humidifier can also help along with say cotton clothes as opposed to fleece stuff. I also have an antistatic brush I ordered online and a tack cloth you can get just about anywhere. You can get cheaper stuff but this is the one I use.

Here's a couple of pics of the black areas.





Not too shabby. At least it looks like the Bronco version. I could say it was the 50's and 60's version made from war surplus airframes that later lead up to the Broncos taking over the job.

I researched a little about the grounding of the workspace. It's definitely a real thing that's big in the electronics field. But instead of a mat for $25.00 I could try some aluminum foil and some wire running to the nearest water pipe. I'll have to work out how to do this at the spray booth too. The body of the spray booth is a plastic storage tub so if I run a wire to that and the water pipe that should work. And then maybe a wrist strap to ground my hand too. I found out any moving fluid can create static electricity. My brother works at a oil refinery and he was loading a tank car with a very volatile liquid. A static spark nearly blew him off the top of the car and gave him a bunch of burns. Without his safety clothes and glasses he would have been much worse. So grounding out the spray booth with all its moving air and liquid paint will be a good idea.
