"Do You Have a Painting Booth?" Topic

But I do have a cardboard box that I use outside.

Only thing I spray paint is bases which I do outside on my porch.

I built one out of foam board, complete with an activated charcoal filter… The filter did NOT absorb all of the fumes. The fan blew the fumes into the room, quite well, however.

I would love to drill a hole in the house wall to vent it outside, but I hesitate to pull the trigger on that for several reasons: cost, heat loss in Winter, and permanence of its location. Cheers!

One of my better purchases. Well worth it. Reduces inhaling fumes and particulate and provides me the ability to paint year round despite weather conditions.

Sort of. I have a cardboard enclosure which I can set up right under a window with a box fan blowing out.

I have one built into my workshop, since naturally I paint a lot of terrain. It doubles as a resin mixing area (especially for the addition of fillers), and additional ventilation during some processes including sanding of resin.

Whenever possible, I do paint outside however especially when I have large lots of priming to do or other "high odor" spraying to accomplish.

Other: I have a paint booth but rarely use it. It's been several months since I used it.

I have one. Mine has strong LED lighting and a good extraction unit, so it made indoor spraying viable. I had it permanently set up, but now we've moved there's not the space to do that, and I miss having it ready to go. It made undercoating, varnishing and spraying the base colour on buildings, stone walls, vehicles and artillery models quick and easy tasks.

Nope – I have a large very well ventilated barn that is where I do my spray painting

I take it having a cardboard box in the garage doesn't count?

If that does the job then it counts, IMO. You may find adding an LED light bar makes things easier, Robert. Put some clear cling film over it when spraying, though, to keep overspray off.

I have a cardboard box in the garage. With extra car shields to catch drift and a light bar. Built on a five foot piece of kitchen countertop. It works…… the question was "do you have one?" not "do you have a GOOD one" . I have one….just not a very good one.
