Hey there,

Are you handy at building things (other than models).

You could build your own spray booth. Friend of mine and I built 2 at the same time (measure twice, and cut twice for 2 booths).

Mine is basically a bottom draft, using a 110cfm bathroom fan. Furnace filter over that and then some peg board. Case is MDF. Lights are your choice. Fan is ducted out the back, with some dryer hose going outside.

Have a look at the photos.

Simple to make, I built it around the size of the furnace filter. The fan is hooked to a switch on the front. If I had to do it again, I would have also incorporated lights into the top of the booth that would also come on with the switch. Completely happy with it. I have sprayed acrylic, enamel and lacquer through it....wife smells nothing in the house unless I am using something particularly nasty, but then it isn't that strong through the rest of the house.

That is just something simple, costs maybe $100, and some of your time. Could be less, but I opted for a higher cfm fan, which was more money.

You can go to town on this....add in lights to the top, doors that you can close, which can keep the heat in, making yourself a make shift heat/paint booth, heat will help the paint cure faster. Sky is the limit.

Thanks

Scott
