Many thanks to TankCarl for the Idea and the knowhow.

My shopping started at Wal-Mart where I purchased a large (73 qt) plastic storage tub



I cut out a hole in the side for a 5 inch computer fan I had lying around, then drilled holes to bolt it to the box. I attached an old 9 volt answering machine power supply to power the fan. Then duct taped the Dryer hose to the fan.



Added a flourescent light to the interior with the light facing toward the rear, into the box for some light. Will cover that with self sticking seran wrap to keep paint off of it. Also added a power strip to the side to make finding a plug easy.



As you can see, I plug the light and the fan into the power strip which is also bolted onto the box. QED. The other end of the dryer vent hose is attached to a peice of sturdy (Thick) cardboard so it can be placed into the window when in use. We have one of those windows that open by sliding up and down.


Here is the virgin interior. The fan is in the upper left hand side.

List of materials and prices.
All purchases were made at the local Wal-Mart.

Plastic Sterlite Storage bin 5.93 USD
Fluorescent Under Cabinet Light 6.96
1 Roll Duct Tape 2.74

Package of Nuts and Bolts .83

The Fan and Cord I had lying around.
Of course parts can be left off or replaced with things you have lying around the house, that would bring the price down some more.

Thanks again Carl!

What a great idea!!

I like it! A scratch built paint booth. Maybe you should change your call sign to Mcguyver, like the old TV show. That guy could build anything with a toothpick and a piece of twine Sure beats the heck out of my setup of and old cardboard box , a box fan and a open basement door

It was much easier and much less expensive than I thought it would be.

I think my next addition to it will be an airbrush holder.

This is pretty cool. What a great idea! You have come a long ways from your days in the WWE (hehehe).

Seriously, this is a neat idea, functional, economical, and effective. Cool. Now lets see some of that Russian armor you build get painted in this baby!!!

Clever, cheap and easy to build ... I like it. Nothing I like better than a tight wad like myself.

Dave

Great Job on that, Sel, But don't forget to stick a piece of furnace filter over that fan. Even a Brushless motor will gum up if covered with accumulated overspray

hey thats a great idea! but help me out, see, my dad gave me this little room for storage in my house to build my models, its been a week now, pretty big, 7 feet by 7 feet, with a working table that goes alround the room ,anyhow, its pretty perfect for modeling, an all iam missing is a spray booth!.

thats a great way u have of building it, but what can i use to filter the smoke? would those 3m filters be good? i know my dad used soemthing like that in his painting garage( used to paint and sandblast cars" to get hte fumes out and clean the airi guess. so would it be good?

sorry if its a little confusing, iam not feeling to well, i had a long day at work and iam tierd (meh, worth it, made some nice $ to buy kits and a car)

A furnace filter, a air conditioning filter or a 3m filter should do it, I would think . Just cut to fit and use a bit of masking tape or duct tape to put it up over the intake inside the box:-H
