Spray Painting Booths or Enclosures for models / airbrushes?

Sep 08, 2004 10 Replies

I recall an regular ad for such an enclosure, but although I've searched back through many issues of RM MR BRM and CM, I can't find it.



I want to find out the sizes etc to plan the hole in the wall position in some imminent building...but can I now fond the ad?..no



And web searches so far havn't helped using various of air spray painting model booth enclosure etc



Can anyone else point in the right direction, or have experience of using them.



thanks Phil


I'd be interested to hear where modelers here do their spray-painting. The options I have are all with their problems... Most of my modelling is done in the bedroom or dining room - spray paint on the duvet of dining table would probably result in divorce. My layout is in the loft, where there is no ventilation and excess spray could end up on the layout. The only other options are the garage - full of bikes and very dusty, or outside where the risk of contamination is too high.

Do people use spray booths to contain the spray? Anyone got photos of their set-ups?

In the shop kitchen (it's well ventilated and has an outside door) with the model been sprayed inside a cardboard box which I sling after it has served its purpose.

I have incorperated a spray booth in my shed ( 4' x 6') at head hight above my desk, I have fitted the shed with 2 solar powered fans for ventilation and fume extraction for spaying and soldering, the spray booth is big enough to swing a
