Model Expo airbrush booth

Post by Devin »

Does anyone have experience or seen any reviews of the new Model Expo booth shown here?

While I built my own booth in the past and it continues to work beautifully, this one looks like a good, smaller, cold-weather (no venting outside) piece of equipment. I'm curious how it works, if the filters are good enough for lacquer (I loves me some Mr. Surfacer!) and any other info on it.

Thanks.

It looks like the filters are the standard furnace filter type for particulates only, I don't see anything in the description about it having activated carbon or charcoal filters for solvent removal, so I'd say it can't handle them.

100cfm and not much more than $100, looks pretty good. I'd look into the activated charcoal filters, might be able to wedge them in.

It's gotta have an exhaust somewhere, doesn't it? Feed that into a 5 gallon bucket with charcoal filters stuffed inside and exhaust holes cut into it...
