Paint booth

[vintagestang]

How do I make a paint booth out of an old toaster? How many and what kind of fans would I need? Would I need a rotating base? I have never used a paint booth before.

Go simple, I use a couple of sheets plywood and a old range hood on the bottom ( I strongly prefer a bottom sucker, in favor of the back suckers ) and presto: you got yourself a paintbooth.

I would not fiddle with those little computerfans, even though they do suck a little bit, it can not suck a lot of fumes and spray at once.

A range hood is just a better fit. All in all, it shouldnt cost more then 20 bucks including the range hood.

A rotating base is prefered, but not necessary. It is just a little bit more comfortable to work with.

Where would I get a rotating base or how could I make one?

As example: this is my spraybooth: underneath is a hose, that I can toss out the window, so I have no fumes and/or overspray in the house.

A nice rotating base is from Tamiya, costs are reasonable and very handy, I need to find a picture, hold on.

Thats nice. I will probably get one from the Walmart.

I also need the paint booth to be portable.

make it a bit smaller with a few hinges, can't be that difficult.

You can also use a lazy susan, they are cheap and you can build a wood block stand with some coat hanger wire . . .
