Keeping Spray Booth Clean?

The box of the last model I finished is usually enough to catch the overspray

I just picked up an 18"x24' (I think, threw out wrapping) roll of clear contact paper at Walmart for less than $6.  Sticks well and peels up easy, several times if needed, on the plastic sides of my booth at least.  I bought clear just so the light still gets in.

I didn't price-shop. I'm sure you could find a better place.

Anyway, I just received it. It's a low tack film (sort of like Tamiya masking tape) and doesn't leave any residue. It's very flexible. I'm glad I stumbled upon this!  This roll will last a lifetime.

I ordered a 12"x30 yards transparent stencil film roll. That should last forever. Plus, I can use it as masking tape.

Say, that sounds like handy stuff for a number of uses!  How much was a roll like that, and where did you order it from?

White poster board works very well. It's easy to cut and fit, reflects rather than absorbs light, and is easy to replace.

I use the tri-fold display boards that are white on one side cut them to fit then when they git grungy I just cut some new pieces. Then replace them with the new ones, my exchust fan I just use a wire brush and clean fins in the fan. Turn the fan on blows all the dried paint outside all cleaned and ready for next paint session.           ACESES5              ON BENCH CYBER PANTHER 2 1/35                

Hmm, maybe I'll attach a stencil film to the inside of my spray booth.

I have a homemade airbrush with the case made from particle board.  I recently modified it to make it easier to clean. I cut panels from 1/8 inch hard board that each screw onto the particle board for the sides and bottom of the booth.  The panels were covered with contact paper before I screwed them into the booth.  Now, when it gets cruddy, I pull off the old contact paper and put new stuff on.

I use spray cans of Krylon primer for priming.  Boy, that stuff is REALLY tough to get off, and that is what led me to those removable and recoverable panels.  On the top I have a big window with a light over the window. I protect that with layers of clear packaging tape.  These layers make up what auto and motorcycle racers call "tear offs."  I put about five layers on when I replace the tear off.  Then, when it gets to painted, I pull off the outermost layer.

I just use boxes from costco and chunk them when they get ugly...but then i dont use enamels at home.
