My box sets on a desk in front of a window with a double window fan. The back of the box is open and fits against the fan. The folding portions direct the flow to the fan and some support the box to keep it from caving in (its open at both ends). It is very portable and may be folded flat or slipped behind the desk against the wall. Most of the time I use acrylics. I try to go outside for more caustic painting!

Awesome.  You don't have to worry about how to keep the spray booth clean.

Very Cool!  I was thinking about doing that too.  Especially with acrylics, the odor is so minimal anyway, this helps with any over spray.  Great work !  Thanks for sharing!

Having built similar rigs, I'd offer one suggestion: add a smaller, open box behind the filter to "duct" the airflow from the fan. It really helps.

Also, best for acrylic paints.
