I have just had an article on building a spray booth published in the
January/February 'Ships in Scale' magazine. Sure, it is a model ship
mag, but the spray booth will work for spraying nearly any kind of
model.
This booth has a light, and uses furnace filters.

Model Railroader Magazine did a piece on a spray booth a few years ago (10?)
and this puppy will suck the chrome off a bumper. I built one, and it works
like a charm, only I don't think the word 'simple' applies. It is, however,
quite good at clearing the fumes out of the shop.
Email me off list and I can give you the information I have.

motor external and another hose out.

I took an old (what the heck do you call that in english!?!?!)
I looked it up and it is a HOOD.
The ones that one hangs above ones kitchen stove.
OK so I took the thing, put it on its back so the controls, that were on the front, now face upwards. I built a nice plywood box around it (some 40 cm's deep)and ...presteo You got a nice spray booth without having to connect lights, motors, switches etc. and the filters are readily available in supermarkets at virtually no cost.
Total costs about ? 30,- (tops) = about $ 30,- (US)

that's a nice solution but not good for restricted spaces
like a tiny apartment.

On my older booths (not the one in the article) I used corrugated
carboard boxes for the booth structures. Stuck fan and filter on top.
Weight of both held them in place over hole I had cut in top of box.
Actually, side of box.
I cut the top flaps off, box sat on side, spraying through what was the top. Cut hole in top/side, mounted filter and fan on piece of hardboard and set down over hole.

Some of the greatest ideas are the simplest! And talk about a solution
being right in front of my face everyday!
Question: If I dispense with the sides for this or any other similar setup, how much overspray would I miss sucking into the thing? 10%? 40%? 90%? Obviously, my question is geared toward doing away with the bulky sides, but I don't have a feel for the trade-off.

Sorry, premature posting :)
I just posted in a.b.m.s. a pdf of the booth I made a year or so ago.
Let me know what you think.
If you don't like the the fan being on top, it would be simple to put
it on the bottom.
