Gentlemen.

I'm slowing building a modeling workshop for my self. I just finish building a photo booth now I need to build a spray booth. I saw the review on the spray booth grumpy Dave wrote. It' nice but cost 400 big ones. So, the option is simple: to build one myself.

has anyone built a spray booth before? Can anyone give me a helping hand?

and there is this https://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/57

Sure, I have and it's not that hard. I can even show you how to light it. I'll take some photos.

WC,
I built one using an Inductor 8 In. In-Line Duct Booster Fan Model DB208 from Home Depot for $30.00, a 16x24 plastic storage container, switch and 12x12 filter. The whole thing cost about $50.00 and works great. I change the filter about once a week if I am doing alot of spraying.

Hi,

I built one a few years ago using plywood, plexiglass and two muffin fans from Radio Shack. I also included a air regulator/filter and a turn table for rotating the model while painting. I think all told it cost about $50.

Same here... Picked up a pair of 110v muffin fans off Ebay.... and had all the rest of the stuff except the ductwork (which I got at the local "Orange Box") think it ran me under 60 bucks including a turn table......... Mine's a Downdraft style (as they're a bit more efficient)

Here is a set of images for what I did.... You can use more fans if you want or need. Use brushless ones (they should say right on them).
Gallery I used dry vent hose to vent it.

Grumpyoldman just did a review of a purchased one so you can read that and get an idea of how big a production one is review

Believe me, I didn't pay either the MSRP, nor the price listed at Dick Blick. :-)

Have any of you tried using a range hood off a stove? I've got an extra one with intentions to build a booth but I'm worried about a fire hazard. I know that it should be moisture resistant but don't know if it would be non-sparking.
Thanks!

cool build.

The motor needs to be sealed to be non sparking. I used a couple of sealed 6" muffin fans when i built mine.
