…...................... --- Paint Booth for Air Brush ---

=========================================

Needing to repaint some locos and some structures with an air brush I decided I'd like to have a miniature paint booth with an exhaust fan.

I had bought an 8” duct fan to help move warm air from the main part of the shop to what had become the train room which formerly was mainly used for storage. The 8” fan just wasn't moving as much air as I wanted so I bought a high velocity 11” fan and enlarged the hole at the top of the shop wall for that fan and like it a lot better.

I have a similar one on the other side of the shop that is connected to a thermostat in the attached green house that pretty much takes care of heating the shop as it is 90+ degrees on most sunny winter days, which we get a lot of here in SE Utah.

Above you can see the new 11” fan in place and it moves a lot more air than the 8” fan did and is a lot quieter also. I decided to move the $24.00 fan and the flexible exhaust hose that I had for it to exhaust duty for the air brush paint booth.

The pictures should tell the story from here to the end of the build.

If I don't like the opening shape or size I might modify the existing box or just look for a larger one and attach it to the exhaust fan/filter enclosure. This setup is quite flexible that way.

One has an option on where they want to exhaust the air to.
