Portable Spray Paint Booth

The frame assembly was simply to connect the four CVPC pipes with the elbow joints securely. I did not glue them so that everything could be dismantled easily when finished.

Once connected, I drilled holes at the end of two opposing pipes so that I could pull the cord through. Then it was a matter of putting two ceiling hooks into studs in the ceiling and hanging the frame.

In order to get the frame at the right height, I put the cord through the both holes and secured with a knot. Then looped the cord over the ceiling hook. I had to put the shower curtains on and adjust the cord length so that the curtains touched the floor. I used the kind of shower curtain hooks that were shaped like a S hook to make it easier to put on and take off. Then I repeated the same process on the other side. It was kind of hard to get both sides done without the curtains slipping to one end. Perseverance paid off and I finally got the frame balanced. Lastly, added shower curtains to the other two sides, completely inclosing the booth. The booth is 5’ X 5’ wide and 5’8” tall.

Now it was time to test my portable spray paint booth. I put my drop cloths on the floor and made sure there was enough outside the booth to ensure overspray wouldn’t get on the floor. Then used clothes pins to seal the corners of the shower curtains. . I know this is not a pretty booth, but it got the job done.

As you can see, the spray booth contained any overspray. Like I said, it’s not pretty, but it gets the job done. And it takes less than ten minutes to dismantle and put away. If you don’t want to use shower curtains it’s ok to use the plastic sheeting rolls and just drap over the frame.
