Paint Booth Plans?

[gjorenby]

Anyone have any good plans for an airbrush paint booth?

It's undergone several modifications since I took these pics but I made this one from 1 sheet of plywood and some 2 x 4s. It's 2' deep, 3' wide and 3' tall. Those are plastic gloves hanging down the front. Don't use them any more. Added more lights on top. It's a down draft with the exhaust running through the wall to an outside vent.

That's just cool. I thought it might be a sand blasting cabinet.

My first job out of college was at the Y-12 Nuclear Weapons plant in Oak Ridge, TN. I did a lot of work in "glove boxes" which look a lot like my booth. You can find a pretty nice blast booth at Harbor Freight that's a lot like my booth. It'll be made of metal so static charges might be an issue but there are remedies for that.

I just looked them up at Harbor Freight. A bench top model is $129 and a stand up is $189. I'd spring for the stand up. It's already set up as a down draft.

I have wanted one of those booths from Harbor Freight for a long time. Since I don't have any project cars I'm working on and I'm not doing as much as I used to it is hard to justify the expense. I also have wanted one of their parts cleaner tubs also.
