So as i finally have an airbrush and compressor it's time to star thinking seriously about a spray booth. I figured since there wasn't a sticky here I'd start a thread and ask everyone who has a spray booth to post some pics of your set up and some details about your booth.
The kind of stuff I'm interested in knowing are:
Commercial or home built and what is it made of ( if diy some info about your process would be handy)
Size (dimensions length, width, height, depth - what have you)
Type (ie cross draft, down draft, down draft with filter top other)?
CFM and type / placement of fan (Bathroom, kitchen, induction motor, squirrel cage blower, inside the booth, outside the booth…?).
Ducting(what are you using, how long a run where/how are you venting?
So lay it on me folks.
What ya got?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I've built two rigs based on the plans I posted here a few years ago.

I have no pictures available right now, but I made my booth the following way:
- Go to ikea and buy a kitchen cabinet and the cheapest rangehood they have.
- Assemble the cabinet, but leave out the back.
- Attach the range hood to the back of the cabinet (they have the same width, I had to use a small strip of wood because the cabinet was a bit higher than the rangehood)
- To finish it off I attached a flexible hose that goes out the window and some LED lighting on the inside.
This is probably not the cheapest way to do it, but it is very easy to do and still much cheaper than buying a booth. And more importantly it works really well.
