I have always wanted a place to airbrush inside. But don’t have money to burn on getting a nice on. So I came on some scrap lumber and viola:
Not a bad set up. But how are you venting it? Also, something I’ve found handy is a “Lazy Susan” my wife picked up in the cake decorating section of Michaels, of all places. It allows for rotating the model without having to touch it.
Hope that you have good ventilation wherever that spraybooth is. If you’re using enamels, or lacquers, be extra careful. In an open box like that, I would seriously recommend using a respirator (any decent hardware store). I made my spraybooth from a scrap kitchen cabinet with an exhaust fan and heater filter that exits out the window with a dryer type vent. I still use a respirator to be on the safe side.
Take Care.

still working on the exhaust part. For now I’ll use it on a table outside. I use water based paint mostly,but still use lacquer based primer and dull cote.
I made my spray booth from a large plastic footlocker. I put a wooden baffle in the middle with holes cut in it, mounted a filter on that and put a boat bilge fan in the back, vented outside with a piece of dryer hose. Works great, and because the bilge fan is made to vent gas fumes, it doesn’t spark. Because blowing yourself up is overrated.
Great idea! [Y] Haven’t heard of anyone using a bilge fan before. Should get the job done perfectly.
