I'm looking for a recommendation for a good spray booth which I can purchase in the US. Gunze seems to have one that does not restrict the size of the model, but I am not sure how efficient it is. Spraying enamel and lacquer thinners in an appartment can get pretty bad even with a wide open window right next to where you're spraying, not to mention paint particles will settle on other things in the room.
Thanks!

I also spray lacquers and enamels in an apartment, and can surely recommend a spray-booth to anyone. I use a Paasche spray booth. It's extremely large and heavy, so it's set up on a file cabinet with wheels, and vents via a plastic dryer vent out the window.

I use a 22" Paasche I bought from a vendor on ebay. I intended to vent it to the outside but the charcoal filter does such a good job I use it invented. I should say that sensitivity to solvent odor is very high. You may still want to vent it. Payed $210.00 and shipping is free. Here is the link:

Thanks guys!

Dave, I think my appartment is already overfilled with various things so I would probably not be able to fit that one in here... It sure looks like one that would do a good job though!

Don, I was looking at that one earlier on ebay. There are a few other ones (various brands) on there as well. I guess this is what I'm buying next! (just as soon as I recover from the almost fatal wound of my last modeling order....)
