I got this booth last year and it's great. One thing I did to protect the led's from any extra spray especially with rattle cans is to wrap a bit of kitchen cling film round the lights, which is easy to do as they unclip so easily. Plus it's super quick to change if you get paint on them.
I have exactly the same spray booth for now 6 months, I totally like it... I don't have many space so I have to fold it each time in it's box and no problem, nothing broke and lights still perfectly working..
I got one of these about a month ago - fell for the size of it as my earlier spray booth was always too small. I love this one - its big, bright and quite powerful. It may sound noisy on camera but in use its not bad at all...
I just bought my first model in about 50 years. I'm 61 and purchased a Tamiya 1/48 F14D Tomcat. I have watched a few of your videos and I love your enthusiasm. The videos are great. Thanks
@@barbatosrex9473 All your videos are great, with a wealth of information. You are an incredible resource for the hobby. Thanks for your attention to detail.
Started watching the video and was so amazed at the paint and miniature collection you got, that I completely forgot what the video was actually about. Then, at 8:16 the moment of clarity came.
That dual fan booth lists for $189.99 right now on todays date of 11/5/2022. The single fan version lists for $129.99 right now. Thanks for the review. But all of your reviews are awsome anyway though. Thanks for doing such great reviews.
Holy cow! I don't even hardy know what to say because I'm so blown away! I have a lot of very different hobby /craft tools and supplies and I'm still amazed at what you have accumulated for just one.
love that the fan exhaust is at the top on this model. I bought the single fan from the same brand due to space issues, and it sticks out so much because the main exhaust parts go straight out the back. the plastic side shields are NOT full proof though, and I find that I need a paper towel/sheet on the corners or underneath just to make sure no spray gets through the cracks and onto the table.
I really love your Paint organization set-up! Nice informative video you made! The filter is replaceable? If so, where can you buy it? What size then? Thanks!
The leds look close to 5000K, but that may be exaggerated by the yellower (2000K?) room lights. Painting at a Daylight (~4000K) gives a truer idea of reality. If the lights were NOT 4000K, I’d have to change them. Getting variable color would work, but you’d need a 24V wall brick rather than the probable 12v you have. It makes a huge difference for us figure guys. When I began with leds, I made sure of the color temperature. Of course, getting lamps or strips that lets you select your temperature is the best. Costs a bit more, but the control is worth it. Some model construction is easier with blue light. It’s nice to be able to choose one’s best lighting. You have a great batch of videos!
This is my booth, works well only issue I have had is the lights can lose connection at connections just a few lite taps and lit again. Filters I found midwest had on clearence for $2 a peice for hobby booth filters which are 3 times bigger so (cut 3 filters for $2)
@darkwood777 Some people (like me) suffer from what is called 'simulator sickness' or motion sickness at the slightest shaky camera. I can't watch movies like clover field without getting a massive migraine, nausea, vomiting, etc. Some people are more affected than others. You are the lucky ones that do not get sick while watching shaky camera videos
That’s a good review and tempting buy. But the problem with those kind of extractor is that there not made for lacquers. They only extract the air with a filter not design for harmful particulates. Do you know if this one is made for it ?
Thanks for the timely video review. Like you, I was in the market for a Spray Booth and was in research mode. I watched your video and it convinced me to purchase this Spray Booth. I just ordered it today. Thanks again for all that you do; the videos are extremely helpful and informative.
I have nearly the same booth as you, but I can only choose to have one or both fans on. No fan speed adjustment but the booth works a charm and I am very happy. Since yours is nearly the same design I think you will enjoy it for a long time.
GREAT Videos! Thanks for doing these and sharing! ADDING: I ended up picking up one of these spray booths and LOVE it! The adjustable light is a plus for me and the size is about 1.5 to 2x my older booth - very happy so thanks again for the review
Sir, you are a hobby King Pin! Your video's are absolutely excellent and I enjoy watching them. Great content and exceptional thought put into all of them. Very enjoyable to watch. The info you provide to fellow model builders and crafters is second to none. Thank you for sharing so much information with us! I'm an airbrush newbie so your video's about paint, airbrushes, and all related supplies is of great interest to me. Thank you!
@@barbatosrex9473 Haha, I've just received the BMW M1 yesterday, and I had the same idea. Also I am tempted to print my own decals to make the Martini version which is "chill" by definition 😀 Hope you will answer me, I may have couple of hints for you for some gems I've found, just in case you don't already have them ;-)
@@barbatosrex9473 btw, I gotta show you the portable paints shelves I've made out of those same acrylics nail polish trays from amazon, and the metal one too :-D Hope we can exchange on these
I've been looking around this weekend to buy a spray booth, yours was the best video of the best product - Many thanks for your time showing this - Off to buy it now. Also, what a great model workshop space you have and so many supplies! Awesome!
Nice video on this. I test my fan's draw by burning an incent cone, that way I can see the smoke being drawn in. For my inside base, I bought a roll of paper that painters use to tape to the floor (comes in different colors and widths, from Loews). Do you find that you need the extra, external fan, for this? You mentioned a new compressor, what was the brand and do you have a link?
Just wanted to ask, have you had any issues spraying acetone through your airbrush into this booth? The reason I ask is because some plastics dissolve in acetone, and am wondering if the plastic that this booth is made of is something to be concerned about. Thanks!
Great looking spray booth, you sound very happy and pleased. I'm curious since its hard to tell from the video. Will your new booth accommodate either 48th or 32nd scale projects in there? Would appreciate your input on booth size accommodations. Happy for your awesome purchase.
I build 1/48 aircraft and they fit fine. I haven't built a 1/32 in a long time so that one I wouldn't know about but the booth measures 20 inches across so I don't think you'll have a problem
So that secondary fan that you added in-between the two hoses, that increases the amount of air pulled through the two built-in fans? I'm hesitant to use my Vivohome dual-fan booth because I'm afraid it won't pull the overspray and fumes through the filter fast enough and expel the rest through the exhaust. Whatever helps to make airbrushing enamels and lacquers safer even with a mask on is a plus in my book. I've been looking at the Kaizo Waterfall, but it's seemingly been out of stock for months now.
I bought that same booth off Amazon. Unfortunately with mine the dual fans sped up and slowed down constantly and rapidly on their own. Went back and forth with the manufacturer but their answers were confusing and vague so I just sent it back to Amazon. I then bought the Mr. Hobby Super Booth Compact which I am really happy with. It has the squirrel cage type fan which is very quiet but also safe for using laquers since the fumes do not go through the fan motor, which is not true for the computer fans that come with the review unit. However I did like the unit that you have other than for the fan issues as it has a good work space and decent lighting. As a side note, take the vent off so you can see the dual fans and see if you can figure out how you would replace them if you had to. I saw no way of doing it, they must manufacture it in an odd way that results in preventing access.
I have a very similar spray booth. Love it! Very interested in the extra fan you use as a booster. Could you maybe do a quick side video about the booster setup? Thank you for all you do for the community!
Hi love the video. Can you please tell me the make of the additional booster you have? And do you think it would be worth getting or would the dual fan setup in the unit be sufficient. Thank you!
Many thanks for all these videos, sir. As someone returning to modelling after a loooong absence, the amount of information available is overwhelming. I find your videos cut through the fluff and provide solid tips and advice. With regards to this booth, will the double fans be able to accommodate rattle cans? Thanks to you, I have discovered Mr. Surfacer Aqueous primer and Montana water based, low pressure cans. All acrylic all the time. Combine those with a spray tent on the patio and primer and base coats are well managed. Alas, winter is coming one day and that means moving to the basement or the garage. Do you think this booth could manage the overspray -- I am aware that most booths have disclaimers about rattle cans. I am hoping the dual fans might make a difference.
I think the general problem with hoods having a disclaimer for rattle cans isn’t because they can’t handle the overspray, but because the fans aren’t rated as explosion proof, which could result in a chance (a very small chance, but a chance nonetheless) that when the fan is running, a random spark could ignite the fumes from a rattle can. I could be wrong, but that’s what I’ve learned while researching to build my own airbrush booth.
I bought the single fan with no variable speed control. I'll put a speed adjustment in later. Is there a way to vent the air inside of you're using only acrylic paints? It's to cold to vent outside. Could I vent the air into a box full of air filters with a dedicated path for airflow??
I just got into customizing 1:64 diecast cars, what paint would you recommend for those? Also if you could only chose one brand for acrylic and one for lacquer what brands would you pick?
Love the idea of secondary fan. Great idea! I will purchase both via your links. Thank you. Getting back into small scale ceramic restoration. Just what I need!
I thought about buying something like this, but I ended up making one because I felt like all of the options were a little bit small. I bought a box fan from Lowes for like $9, a furnace filter, some cheap LED tape, and then screwed together a frame with scrap wood and some sintra sheets. It's undeniably ugly but it works well enough and I don't feel cramped using it.
I made my first one with pretty much the same as you minus the fan.. definitely did the job and even tho I just upgraded to this one, I'll always be proud of my first one ever
What air brush compressor do you use? Is that the Tooty next to the box? Would you recommend it or is there a better one you want? If I'm short on space, are the minis at Spraygunner any good, or do you think the Tooty is better? No-Name also makes a mini as well as Sparmax, & Grex Aeris has the Compact Piston Compressor. Any thoughts? Love the vids!
The included fans could be replaced with "be quiet" fans, if the connections are the same. I can imagine there's more ways to reduce the noise on this, if wanted.
Manufacturer is Ningbo Haosheng Pneumatic Machinery Co. ltd, they sell as B2B so the resellers set the price hence the price variation you see on the web - the brand name on is therefor the reseller, not the manufacturer. It is beyond me why they don't sell direct - they also do make compressors and airbrushes. I have two of the older booths, smaller size, with lights etc, don't buy one without lighting! Note the lighting has covers which protect the LED's that can be slid off and cleaned (I use mostly acrylics so it is easy) l cover the interior with cling film and replace it about twice a year The old 440 I have vent straight back - not straight upwards as in the 550 - so they take up more room in terms of depth, and only one fan - never had an issue with this clearing the flow, noise is OK as well. Note that the series 420 = 420 MM / 17" wide - the one in this video is the 550 = 550 MM /22" wide ; 420 cost $84 in 2017 & $73 in 2018 with all the extraction hoses, including taxes & delivery - work very well
Great review - love the spray booth, going to order one after watching this! Curious to know where you got the acrylic shelving for your paints? Best, pL
I have the Sparmax SB-88, but not too impressed by the airflow. Pretty low according to Sparmax themselves: 68cfm. I'm thinking about upgrading to this one, should be 320cfm. I know there's also the waterfall variant, but I'm afraid it's a bit too high for my room (it sits under an angled roof), the work area is raised also so that might be uncomfortable, and I read complaints about too much maintenance.
Hello, Are the fans of this paint booth "explosion" proof for flammable paints? I am looking for a paint booth that would allow me to spray lacquers and enamels, as well have a good filtration to filter out the over spray and fumes. How does this specific booth fare in terms of these necessities?
how do you clean the filter? I got the paint particle trapped on the filter so much that it only lasts for 2 kits... oh, don't put too much pressure on the bottom part, it will crack
I use Liquitex inks in my airbrush all the time. Primarily white, to add zenithal highlights. But what I really like them for is for making true metallic colors, but mixing a few parts ink to Vallejo Metal Color. They're great multitaskers!
Hello matey, I hope you are well. Can you choose how many light bars you use? E.g. can you leave 2 disconnected (maybe just the 2 side lights) while the others remain functioning? I wouldn't imagine so looking at the way they connect. It would be nice if the selector switch allowed light selection.
Thanks for posting all these videos! I needed a spray booth and saw this so I decided to pick one up, so far so good. I also asked a while back about compressors, you recommended the Tooty, and I thank you for that as well, it's a fantastic compressor I absolutely love how it performs. I even picked up a rolling cart and mounted it and the spray booth to it so I can move all my airbrush stuff around easily.
Hello, can you give us an idea of size? Perhaps swing a 1/24 or 1/16 scale model car inside. I have the dimensions but it's very difficult to judge overall size without a point of reference. The new model looks different, the fans look like computer fans and it's nearly $200 now. Thanks
Mine is similar to what is in the video except if I can buy the same spray booth I have now to, add in conjunction, to double the width of the spray booth. Great for my 1:20.3 scale (F scale) outdoor trains. Lighting is all LED that surrounds the model.
As mine happens to be near a window I understand your problem. In my previous home I didn't so I had a large box where the vent went into and collected the exhaust. I had it filled with paper towels, rags, crumbled newspaper and that material you pour your motor oil into when you change your own oil at home. Worked great. A friend did the same.
@@barbatosrex9473 that’s ok , I found the paint booth at Amazon.ca , you need a link to that, can’t buy from Amazon.com , I live in Canada , great video
I just got a roll of aquarium filter padding that I use in the booth. There's a link in the description. My favorite paints are lacquers for sure. They go on great every time and clean up is easy. And pretty cheap too. Also I like Tamiya Acrylics. They are not truly acrylic, they're a solvent based acrylic hybrid that you can thin with lacquer thinner. They go on perfect every time also. Check out my videos for Tamiya Acrylics and Mr Color
After a few weeks, have you used the spray booth in anger and sprayed everything from Lacquers to Acrylics and everything in between? How’s it holding up? Considering making it my first spray booth.
hey i got a question. so I'm pretty disappointed in the Vallejo model and Panzer Aces paint lines. They have consistency issues. The same color today will be a different hue/shade in a different batch 6 months down the road or not even just batch to batch they will differ. I have personally experienced this. im thinking of going to AK Interactive 3rd generation pint line. Do you know if the same issues plague this company as well? i can't find anything on the internet about AK. They've only been around since 2010 and their 3rd gen paint are only a year old maybe a lil more. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I got this booth last year and it's great. One thing I did to protect the led's from any extra spray especially with rattle cans is to wrap a bit of kitchen cling film round the lights, which is easy to do as they unclip so easily. Plus it's super quick to change if you get paint on them.
as a messy painter this is a fantastic idea!!
His desk has more supplies than my local shop
I wish I had a good local hobby store nearby
He has more paint and a far better selection than any of the shops that I’ve been to near me.
he has more stuff than every hobby store in Australia combined!
Hell never even use it all in his life time

Yes you should be fine. Always leave the fan running for awhile after you've sprayed too

Manufacturer is Ningbo Haosheng Pneumatic Machinery Co. ltd, they sell as B2B so the resellers set the price hence the price variation you see on the web - the brand name on is therefor the reseller, not the manufacturer. It is beyond me why they don't sell direct - they also do make compressors and airbrushes. I have two of the older booths, smaller size, with lights etc, don't buy one without lighting! Note the lighting has covers which protect the LED's that can be slid off and cleaned (I use mostly acrylics so it is easy) l cover the interior with cling film and replace it about twice a year The old 440 I have vent straight back - not straight upwards as in the 550 - so they take up more room in terms of depth, and only one fan - never had an issue with this clearing the flow, noise is OK as well. Note that the series 420 = 420 MM / 17" wide - the one in this video is the 550 = 550 MM /22" wide ; 420 cost $84 in 2017 & $73 in 2018 with all the extraction hoses, including taxes & delivery - work very well
So with the second exhaust fan plugged in you're able to use the spray booths fans at full blast and makes it more quiet?
Love the room tour and especially the spray booth review. I was wondering looking at the room tour do you have fire extinguishers somewhere in there?
Just outside the door 👍
Great review - love the spray booth, going to order one after watching this!
Curious to know where you got the acrylic shelving for your paints?
Best,

I have the Sparmax SB-88, but not too impressed by the airflow. Pretty low according to Sparmax themselves: 68cfm. I'm thinking about upgrading to this one, should be 320cfm. I know there's also the waterfall variant, but I'm afraid it's a bit too high for my room (it sits under an angled roof), the work area is raised also so that might be uncomfortable, and I read complaints about too much maintenance.
That booster fan is probably much more powerful and silent than the fans in the booth. Still, more fans don't hurt at all, especially indoors.
Booth is great. I got one a few months ago and have been painting like most nights.
Whats A good mask to get with this spray booth? cause i have one similar to it that my wife ordered for me as a present lol
Hello,
Are the fans of this paint booth "explosion" proof for flammable paints?
I am looking for a paint booth that would allow me to spray lacquers and enamels, as well have a good filtration to filter out the over spray and fumes.
How does this specific booth fare in terms of these necessities?
I was actually looking at buying one of these booths, you’re awesome review has convinced me to push go ☺️👍
how do you clean the filter? I got the paint particle trapped on the filter so much that it only lasts for 2 kits...
oh, don't put too much pressure on the bottom part, it will crack
I use Liquitex inks in my airbrush all the time. Primarily white, to add zenithal highlights. But what I really like them for is for making true metallic colors, but mixing a few parts ink to Vallejo Metal Color. They're great multitaskers!
Booth looks great! I would love to grab one like that...I'll have to keep my eye on it. My booth is the no name one...but it does the job
can you open this one up to change the fans? always wnated to put a Corsair High Air flow 120mm in the single booth to keep the noise down.
So this is what happiness looks like... 😯
Hello matey, I hope you are well.
Can you choose how many light bars you use?
E.g. can you leave 2 disconnected (maybe just the 2 side lights) while the others remain functioning? I wouldn't imagine so looking at the way they connect. It would be nice if the selector switch allowed light selection.
You can't but you can adjust the brightness with a dial. That should help you out
Thanks for posting all these videos! I needed a spray booth and saw this so I decided to pick one up, so far so good. I also asked a while back about compressors, you recommended the Tooty, and I thank you for that as well, it's a fantastic compressor I absolutely love how it performs. I even picked up a rolling cart and mounted it and the spray booth to it so I can move all my airbrush stuff around easily.
Hello, can you give us an idea of size? Perhaps swing a 1/24 or 1/16 scale model car inside. I have the dimensions but it's very difficult to judge overall size without a point of reference. The new model looks different, the fans look like computer fans and it's nearly $200 now.
Thanks
How did the spray booth handle 2k clear coat? is it strong enough to suck majority of the 2k clear coat fume?
Mine is similar to what is in the video except if I can buy the same spray booth I have now to, add in conjunction, to double the width of the spray booth. Great for my 1:20.3 scale (F scale) outdoor trains. Lighting is all LED that surrounds the model.
Wow dude I know this video is old now but your setup is amazing. I really wish I could have mine so organised
Thanks dude 👍
Your external fan looks similar to a radon mitigation setup, is this what you are using? Thanks for the video
Pretty much the same. Yes
Looks like a great spray booth, how does venting kit hook up , I don’t have a window close for the exhaust , only using water based paints
As mine happens to be near a window I understand your problem. In my previous home I didn't so I had a large box where the vent went into and collected the exhaust. I had it filled with paper towels, rags, crumbled newspaper and that material you pour your motor oil into when you change your own oil at home. Worked great. A friend did the same.
@@barbatosrex9473 that’s ok , I found the paint booth at Amazon.ca , you need a link to that, can’t buy from Amazon.com , I live in Canada , great video
We’re did you get the plastic shelves
Where did you get the paint shelves? The clear plastic ones? Thanks
My new favorite channel.
Thanks, your my new favorite subscriber 👍
What’s the filter you use now with the booth. And with all those paints that you have, witch ones do you find you use personally on your kits
I just got a roll of aquarium filter padding that I use in the booth. There's a link in the description. My favorite paints are lacquers for sure. They go on great every time and clean up is easy. And pretty cheap too. Also I like Tamiya Acrylics. They are not truly acrylic, they're a solvent based acrylic hybrid that you can thin with lacquer thinner. They go on perfect every time also. Check out my videos for Tamiya Acrylics and Mr Color
@@barbatosrex9473 thank you for the info. But I meant what brand is your go to when you personally paint? I’m sure you gravitate to one
Mr Color
What brand of paint booth do you have I like the extra lights
Check the link in the description
I pulled the trigger and ordered the Pace mini now at least I can spray hackers inside the house now like you I’ll probably use a bucket
What a tour!!!! Dreaming of the nazca paint and mrxp and all the great system you built. What a great room!
Thanks buddy. Took the better part of the a year to get to this point
How did you get in on the new paint booth your showing would appreciate the link for the paint booth
Link in the description. I also have a link to it in all my latest videos
After a few weeks, have you used the spray booth in anger and sprayed everything from Lacquers to Acrylics and everything in between? How’s it holding up? Considering making it my first spray booth.
86 is such an awesome series!
I like this spray booth you got. How is it in extracting rattlecan spray paint fumes? I don't use an airbrush but mostly use Rustoleum 2x spray cans.
If i didn't have the extra fan I show I don't think it would extract those big rattle cans. Those things push a lot of paint
What size paper do you use in the bottom? Thanks!
I use black construction paper sheets from the dollar store and cut it to fit
Thank you!
@@T2someI'll be reviewing a new spray booth this weekend
Just picked up a similar booth and it is awesome!
Rex, how are those Vic acrylics? I've only ever seen them on HLJ at pretty good prices. Thanks.
What diameter hose did you use to hook the exhaust up? I have one of the similar models and need to go get more hose for it to reach.
What airbrush do you recommend? I do a lot of car models. I have a spray booth
Is that a special black cardboard you placed underneath? If so can you link it for me
Another comment says he uses black construction paper from the dollar store
hey i got a question. so I'm pretty disappointed in the Vallejo model and Panzer Aces paint lines. They have consistency issues. The same color today will be a different hue/shade in a different batch 6 months down the road or not even just batch to batch they will differ. I have personally experienced this. im thinking of going to AK Interactive 3rd generation pint line. Do you know if the same issues plague this company as well? i can't find anything on the internet about AK. They've only been around since 2010 and their 3rd gen paint are only a year old maybe a lil more. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
