I paint outside.  I have a large verandah and weather in Australia...   is usually nice.

Lots of good light.

Thanks all, the Paasch came and now I have to make space and a station for everything. Nice to know it's a good investment. Pretty good sale too, I think.

I made my own since no one made what I wanted. I wouldn't be without one. It measures 59 inches wide x 26 inches deep x 36 1/2 inches tall.

I have had the Pace PeaceKeeper Super Mini now for 10+years. It is great. AND we have peace in the house with my spousal-unit.

I ended up making my own spray booth using 1/4" MDF with an installed light on the inside.  Since I only use acrylics I haven't built in a ducting system.

Hey, don't knock those el-cheapo units. They work great if you gut them and use a 600CFM exhaust fan to suck the fumes away.

 

 

That setup will suck the airbrush outta' your hand if you're not careful.

A quick look at the filter proves that I made a wise choice. 

 

Get the biggest you can afford.

Is that a paint booth or a wind tunnel?

Exactly how big is your booth ?? It better be HUGE otherwise all this fan will do is pull dirt into your booth and, you'll be wasting a lot of paint. The fan only needs to be strong enough to take away the fumes.

Do you wear an oxygen mask when you paint?!

It's one of these portable ones, but by the time you take all the innards out there isn't exactly a lot of area to cut the exhaust hole, plus the fan is about 3/4 inch away from the wall so it loses some suction. Just excuse my exaggerating, it's really quite docile.... and VERY effective.

Nah, no lack of oxygen but I did have to get one of these

Another home made unit..

I do use a spray booth.  Sadly I cannot spray outside and I value my respiratory system too much to spray inside without one (I use enamels). The humidity here in VIrginia varies between 20% and 80% depending on the time of year. I use a Paasche HSB-22-16 which pulls air right away from me.  The only thing better would be a downdraft booth but that awaits a fairly chunky project to be completed as I’ll need to build that. 

 

Kind regards,

Paul
