Hello Everyone! I was wondering if some of you could show me a pic of your homemade paint booths. I want to use an old range hood for my paint booth but I have read that updrafting air can create dust problems with the finish(not sure if this is overreacting or an urban myth). I am new to spray painting and was trying to set up a booth that was relatively inexpensive but effective!! Hope to hear from some of you booth engineers

It doesn't use a range hood... and it's a downdraft.... but It's homemade

I went out the side with my version a bit different than the hooded type
The images aren't of the finished product but it gives enough to see the idea. If you aren't satisfied with the 'pull' of one computer fan, you just add a second one.
