Paint booth ideas
can you guys help me do some brainstorming on a paint booth? My buddy gave ma a restaraunt food warmer that has been gutted and I want to turn it into a booth. It is about 28 in. wide and 38 deep and around 5 feet high, with two doors one top and one bottom,
I plan on making the top area seperate from the bottom, the top being a painting area and the bottom to hold the filtration or fan or whatever. I thought of creating a carbon and water filter powered by my shop vac. Any other ideas? Soory so long. Thanks for the input

I didn't even tell them what I wanted to use it for, I just mentioned that I may be using it near paint fumes and they recommended against it.

Yeah that is one of the things I was concerned about. I am planning on isolating it from the rest if I go that route. By the time the air gets to the vac it will have been filtered through a charcoal and water filter. What do you think?

if you have the time and tools to do this it would be the best thing.....put the paint booth on a outside wall......than cut a hole going out...and use duct work to make the fumes exit....and on either endd or whereever use fans to make the fumes move out.....

there are many good modelling sites with info on this subject i just got DSL so i lost all my AOL favs but i think scale model magazine had a good article. I WILL SAY THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!! Use a non-spark fan!!! like computer fans and stuff, do not use a kitchen or bathroom fan they can emit sparks... very bad. do some searching through Google and you should find lots of stuff. also if you cant run exhaust outside of house run it into a bucket of water which will collect paint and most fumes... like a bong hehehe not that i would know anything about bongs
