I work at a body shop. We have 2 Unicure booths. You can see them here: www.thebodyshop.bz and click on shop tour. We probably run both booths at near-max capacity 5 days a week. No trash issues. Gas heat in the booths. And an air dryer too.

Plastic sheets, box fans and filters. Suit up and wait for the wind to turn out of the SW and start shooting. LOL

There are ways to make booths, it pays to google and understand the principles. Mine is up out of the way when not in use, about 5 minutes set up time.

I will likely go with a makeshift booth. Im not going to paint enough to justify building a booth.

Here is my temp booth made with PVC that is held together with screws so you can take it part.
Wife taping it up.

Pic of booth before opening was covered worked ok for the color but not for the finer clear. Also you can see the paint rack I made for the parts. My son in law doing the painting.

Exhaust fan from harbor freight, I put a filter on that side too. I put it in the window, close the window down .

It works really good and keeps the stink out,even works on clear coat. Tried it without the cover on the opening and it did not have enough seal for it to be pulled out through the exhaust fan.

I don't guarantee or recommend anything I post, Just showing what I did..

Nice, simple and affective. I like the idea of using the PVC.

Blow Therm

That ventilator is not explosion proof. Pumping paint fumes through it is asking for a problem. Most of us amateur painters build a booth that is pressurized with exhaust filters, not one using puller fans.
