Make-shift portable airbrush paint booth

A 18x18x16 cardboard packing box from Home Depot, salvaged 80mm Thermaltake case fan complete with rheostat, small push button, 12v AC/DC wall wart and a lot of duct/packing tape.

This is pretty straight-forward, I needed a place to airbrush indoors in a small apartment and avoid getting over-spray everywhere and so the portable cardboard airbrush paint booth was born.





A diagonal cardboard slip acts as the intake vent capturing most of the over-spray into the high tech air filter (single ply paper towels held from being sucked through with cheesecloth).

The cardboard sides have packing tape *wings* at the bottom to slip underneath of the bottom to avoid painting my dining room table.







It all folds up nicely into itself so it can be tossed in the closet, with enough room to hold the compressor, brush and paints / supplies.
