Yeah, I am on my second mdf spray booth in the workshop as the first one was a bit small. It has a 6” Vortex Pro extractor , led strip lights and a spraying jig. The extractor is ducted to outside and I wear a half face VOC respirator. I only spray 1k or nitro as 2k needs positive air fed respirator. The workshop(garage lol) has some fan and ceramic heaters which keeps its reasonable. 2 Quote
