Spray/Paint Booth

Heres one using some cheap to purchase items! The fan unit is a bathroom odor extractor(a neccesary item in my house). I found this on another web sight and it looked interesting.

TT that setup looks pretty good. How's the airflow volume through the front? Do you get much dust floating through?

He said he found it on another site, so I don't think he knows how well it works. It looks like it would work pretty good tho, maybe not so much for a spray booth, it looks like it's used for glue/paint fumes mostly, or brand new when the pics were taken because the inside is still pretty pristine.

I don't think the fan is heavy enough to work well as a spray booth, unless you spray outside and then place it in here to dry, however you'd need a lid with a filter on it to stop dust.

The fan I have on mine doesn't move a great amount of air either. It does create enough airflow to move the paint fumes through the filter and out the duct. The trick is to position the parts so that you are spraying towards the filter as much as possible. IMHO the filter has two purposes, trap outgoing paint particles to protect the fan and get rid of the paint
smell so the wife doesn't squawk.

orion549...you're right, it's way too pristine!

If I were to build this booth i would put the fan right on the back of the plastic container to get a stronger evacuation of fumes and spray dust.The Tubing not being smooth cuts the air flow down aslo. the article where I got the pics says it does cut down the fumes and dust .As far as the cfm I'm not sure.
