My Spray Booth Plan

This is my basic design for my spray desk that I plan to build. I have already change the design a little bit already making it a little smaller. So far I have only design it on the computer, so I have an idea what it is going to look like and have not started building it yet. The size I plan to build this spray booth is around L2', W1'6", H4'. For the design of this, I plan on making it mostly of wood, and plan on using cardboard for the sides as you can see in my picture to the right. For the air filter, I plan on using a bathroom fan attach to the back of the booth, which is the back wall hole shown in the picture. I then plan to attach a dryer hose to the fan, which will leaded out my bedroom window for the paint fumes to get out. I don't plan on putting on a top bathroom fan right away like I have shown in the picture, which will be a later upgrade. This is my basic plan, which may change as I start building this. Here are some more pics of my booth.

Here is another update for my spray booth. I have made some changes to the overall design of my booth plan. One of the changes that I made was that I took out the top fan and made the back fan look more like a bathroom fan, then a hole and pipe that I ha
d before. I also added on the dryer tube to the back which now points up to the sky. The biggest change that I made was that I added places to put paints, modeling tools, and so on. Here are some new pics of my updated booth.

I no longer need to build my spray booth from scratch anymore, as I found a easier and cheaper way now. There is this old desk that has been sitting in one of the rooms just collecting dust and is mostly covered in junk right now. It is a nice desk and needs very little work on it. The only problem with it is that the supports that hold it up are very weak and moving the desk too much will make it break apart, which is a simple fix. Other then that all I need to do is
add the bathroom fan to it and some other things and it will be all done. The nice thing about using this desk into a spray booth is that it looks very nice (nicer then anything I could build), and has lots of room for other things like paint, tools and etc. Will add pictures when I move every thing off and move it into my room.

Funny how things change as you get going. My first plan was to build my spray booth from scratch, but then I found this old desk that was going to become my spray booth and now......... haha funny how it turned out. My friend first word was "Wow, I didn't think you could become any cheaper". My spray booth now is just a box with a bathroom fan on the back with a metal tube going out the window. The reason why I did this is that for one I am pretty cheap, two, it is easy to move and if I every need to switch the box for something it is super easy. Overall I am very happy how it turned out.
