Hey guys, I have made this tutorial to show you how to make an easy spraybooth to keep your spray condensed and off your furniture and other stuff you don't want paint on. However, at Bondo's reccomendation, I added an extended version to create a great and even more functional booth.

You will need:


-Mid/Large box*
-Knife
-Tape

First you will cut this side, (which is taped on) and repeat for other.



Next, you will cut the opposite 2 sides. (Sorry for lack of pic)

After this, you will have this:



Now, you have the box in original undone form.

Now, pull up this side and tape it, creating sides for your booth:



Now, you can choose what way you want your booth. You can have it taller like this:


(Go along the fold of the box)

OR, you can leave it down and bring up the other flaps (and tape them):





Either way you will now have an adequete spray booth for your spraycan/airbrush**

I like to add an item to elevate the body so I an get to it better (In this case I used a cookie tin):



However, if there is some information/UPC codes you need for further reference, either cut them off or find a new box.

Finished:***



*Large box for added Fan/Hepa Filter and light
**Works best with airbrush
***Without the box fan/filter and light

OPTIONAL:(Makes a better booth for cheap)

Courtesy of Bondo, you can add a box fan with a Hepa, (air cleaning like in vents) to really make a good spray booth. The fan essentialy vaccums up the paint particles and with a filter pad cut to shape, (availible at hardware stores) you really have a good way to keep things clean and off furniture, off surfaces, and out of your lungs! This will of course require a larger box. These items are not overly expensive, and while you are shopping, a light mounted over your booth is very helpful to find light spots, runs, and etc.
