Now that I am spraying for the first time in my life, waterbase in my garage and loving it.
I want to build some kind of excellent spray booth,
beside having a exhaust fan and some kind of am intake filter, what can you do to keep the dust down.
I would love to see any pics people have of theirs.

Hey Mike!

There's lots of good stuff here already on this topic. I just did a search and you will see that there are some pretty clever solutions that OLFers have done.

Be sure to think about all the goals of a paint booth. Some may be more or less important to you.
Some of the goals are: dust control, effective lighting so you can see the gloss (or the orange peel or the runs), getting fumes away quickly for fire safety or to extend the life of your respirator cartridge, ease of clean up of accumulated overspray to keep the airflow efficient and reduce fire hazard.
