Tom, I've been using my Pace booth for years and I am very happy with it. I have the smaller one and it uses readily available 12 x 24" furnace filters. It draws the air real well and I have a well-lit work area so have never felt the need to add additional lighting. I do use spray cans when possible because I'm lazy and hate cleaning my airbrush, and have never had an issue. PM me if you need further details.
