At home, we all know how fun it is to paint items around the house so that they identify or appear very new and special. It can be used to change the color of furniture, decorate boxes or even apply it on old toys. However, painting is really messy! You can find paint splatters on the floors and walls if you are not careful. And this is why you need a paint booth. A paint booth is a designated space to spray your pieces without getting paint everywhere in the house. It keeps all the paint in one spot, so you can enjoy your project without the hassle of cleaning up! And, if you need to know how to build a paint booth, well this guide will walk you through each step in building your very own at home paint booth easily.
So now that we went through the different options, let’s go through everything we are going to need before starting on our paint booth. Here are the essential tools that you will use to build your homemade paint booth:
Now, let’s start building! Start with the big, old cardboard box — cut off one of its sides. Here, this side will be your entrance (or) exit and it makes the access to get into the painting area in an easier way. Then, to have it open from the top, cut off the flaps on top of box. That provides for air movement when you are painting. Then take the smaller cardboard box and remove its top and bottom. Center the smaller box into the bigger one. That gives you your basic structure for your paint booth! Tape also all of the edges and ensure that everything is being held together firmly.
Finally, we should keep the air in our booth clean with painting. In order to do this, all you need to do is cut a small hole in the middle of each side of your bigger box. It aids in getting in clear air. Seal each other holes with tap so only some holes are open Next, take some screeningand cover up the holes you just cut and tape it down nicely. These filters should help prevent dust and small particles from entering your painting space. Then place a few small holes on the open top of box. This cut-out will be for the exhaust fan that would help in expelling excess air and fumes.
Lighting inside your paint booth is also super important. It allows you to see more clearly and simplifies the process of checking for missed locations. Use your box cutter to create an opening in the front wall of your paint booth frame. Here is where the light will go. Use tape to hold the light in the hole. Next, pull the wire from the light out through that hole and attach a plug to it so you can turn it on when ready to spray.
Your paint booth is now ready, so you can spray without worrying about getting paint everywhere! This means that you can spray paint to your heart's content and the paint will stay inside of the booth. Any splattered paint will land on the plastic drop cloth, making clean-up simple.
A homemade paint booth is a smart DIY that you can use for any art project or painting work. It's not just entertaining to create, but it also helps you cut costs than buying a ready-made booth. This paint booth will be a nice place to comfortably carry out your painting projects with only a few materials.
