I have been rigging booths for 20 years now. Fans, Roof Vents, Lighting, Temp and Air flow and this one ends up being the easiest and most effective yet.

No dust, air flow good enough, no spray all over everything, & Easy Up and Down in 20 by 22 garage.

$250 all in. Do it,134786 you may like it!

Like you I'm always trying to keep my garage and tools clean from over-spray as well as keep dust out of my paint!

A few questions for you.


Are the sides sealed to the top & floor?
Do the sides tend to get "sucked in" when the fans are on?
Do you just vent the fans out the open overhead doors?
Where does the fresh air get pulled into your paint area from?

There is a top rail that goes the length 15' Go to the site and you can see how it assembles...really easy with two people at each end. More work with one person but doable.
The sides are velcro to the top rail once up and then they rest on the floor drop cloth
The rear fans (set on #1) input air through a center zipper area and exit at the bottom at the front in the picture. Front fans set @ 3 The Garage door is down to the fan level when painting
The sides do not suck in and there is enough air going through to clear fumes and over spray..which is limited
Fresh air in from a garage window through filters into the rear fans.

No debris or a few nibs that typically scuff out.

Note:I have a Mini Split HVAC unit that I can actually control air temp ...well, impact air temp.


Depending on you ceiling height, you may have to drill (Add) leg post stops that slide up and down to control desired height...

I also use it as a prep area to manage sanding dust and other prep mess...stay out of trouble and leave shoes outside.

If I get in a lot of trouble, I can go out there and just watch TV too! Just saying

Um, this is kind of an interesting place to put this post...as the F9 is supposed to be a "paint free" body? Just kinda scratching my head on this one.

Agreed. Moving to general discussions...
