Awesome review and it instantly sold me. Had no idea these even existed in a portable version. Gonna make life out on the road (I’m a truck driver and build kits while out) so much easier. Hardest part is finding a decent environment to paint the bodies. This will definitely help.
This an excellent review, like usual. Demonstrating how loud the fan is was of great help to me. For someone with limited hobbyspace this seems a good buy. In fact, I ordered one just an hour ago and ordered a closet light with it. I plan to place it in the top of the window with some velcro tape.
Hey Chris. I’ve really njoyed all your videos. Especially the ones on building big trucks. Watching has made me want to get back into building again. Great spray booth by the way. Thanks buddy. Keep up the great work.
After watching your video, I decided to give mine a try after having it over a year. Gotta admit that it works pretty good. Thanks for making the video. Now I can paint year round. 😁
I am gonna have to eventually get one of those. I have a large home built booth now. But, will be making some changes in the near future! Thanks for the review. Answers alot of questions!
Great little booth bud! We just got another one and I'm going to put them side by side for a some more room, I love em, they work excellent for the price!!
I love this little booth. I almost got one but I use a lot of flammable paint. Like lacquer paint and primer. If you use just acrylic with none flammable cleaner then heck yes get this booth. I love it!! As usual great review. You should do this for a living. Thanks for sharing...
Great demonstration of the spray booth I really like that and I like the fact that you turned it on so that we could hear how quiet or how loud the booth might be and it was truly quiet I truly wish I could find an air compressor that was just as quiet and small and compact air compressor that was just as quiet
Just came across this review for your spray booth. Thx so very much for explaining how it assembles, size dimensions, and cost. I've been looking for a reasonable spray booth set up, and it seems like this one may just fit the bill. I, like you, live in the midwest (Indiana) and work in a pretty confining area in my basement. I'd love to be able to continue building kits over the winter, and this seems to be just the right fit for my studio.
This booth is sold by many brands at similar prices, all the same thing. Mine is this exact one with the "enjoy the fresh air!" sticker with a lime on it for some reason. This is "THE" bog standard paint booth for painting indoors. I've had one for seven years and counting, still works great. You can also buy this model doubled-up with two side by side. I do recommend you stick to mostly Acrylic paints however. The booth is not powerful enough to expel a ton of Enamel based painting. I also recommend you wear an N-95 grade or above mask - Which in 2020, you should already own or know how to get!
Nice review - Can't beat the price. Let us know how well it pulls the spray into the booth once you've gotten some experience using it. I'd be interested in how well it actually vents into the filter.
i was thinking of making one but will i actually save anything and probably wouldnt be as suitible as new to the spraying , so might as well get one ordered
Thank you for a great description of the paint booth. I don't know if I will do enough model building to justify the cost, but it certainly is worth thinking about.
I have a similar concern about if I'd do enough modeling. But this might help me do more modelling by letting me work in a climate controlled, well-lit room instead of being limited to my garage and porch, which can be dusty, poorly-lit, and subject to the changing weather.
Id seal it with cheap masking tape as there's gaps!.I also use newspaper the base as the plastic wont like some cleaners....an extra filter is worth trying.
I purchased one of those about a year ago and I put a kill switch for the fan so I can paint models and have the bright LED lights but not have the fan continuously running
Chris, went back to watch this again and wanted to know if this is what you spray in now? Have one too and was hoping I could do like you do with spray cans? Thank you as always, you ROCK dude!
great review dude. nice bit of kit. I wonder were the fumes are extracted too but I guess if your just using polyurethane or acrylics don't matter too much. Ace!
Thanks very much for an excellent review that answers all my questions. I ordered mine from Amazon before seeing your video for £84.90 which includes the vent pipe flex hose and attachments as well as the lighting and I have watched some videos to see how robust it looks, easy to put together, how quiet the fan is etc and after your great video, I'm really looking forward to receiving mine in two days time. I play Games Workshop games and as my garage is falling apart and its around 4 degrees at the moment (December in the UK), this is really going to be a great bit of kit as I've decided to get into using an airbrush which with a compressor etc, is arriving in the next day or two. Regarding the noise of the fan, I have a brilliant Dyson which I swear by and the decibels of that is 67db which is not an issue what so ever and the compressor Ive bought is 47db, so if the fan on this 47db as well, then I'm well happy. Thanks again for showing a really clear guide as to how everything opens up, goes together and goes back again afterwards, really appreciate your time
How has yours held up with time? I bought what looks like the same basic thing (but with lights and hose, and they moved to an external power supply) about five years ago and... how to put this? Have you ever just had no choice but to get out a hammer and smash the living **** out of something just to put an end to it's miserable existence and reclaim your sanity? On mine, every plastic part degraded, weakened, and broke. The clips holding the side pieces broke. The clips holding the three light bars together broke such that they would constantly fall down. The retaining clip for the power supply jack broke when I plugged it in one time. The clips holding the filter in place broke. The clips holding the vent hose broke. This all must have happened from all the times I set it up and disassembled it, except.... I only did that 2-3 times over the years for cleaning. By the end it was a crumbling collection of fracturing parts held together with duct tape and dried paint. Sorry for the rant, the followup to this morning's cleansing session of percussive therapy has been to post a warning to others to stay away from these things and just build one from a cardboard box, a couple of computer case fans, and filter material.
You can see this being used in every single video of a model I create. Hundreds of kits have been sprayed in this. It's caked with an inch of paint now and still running. :) Bummer that yours is of lower quality, this video is quite old though, I'm sure the design has changed.
You can add a hose, I show what it comes with in the video. I use it in every single model build review so you can see what it looks like now. Still going well.
Hi, I have what looks to be basically the same looking booth as mine but there is another feature on mine which you did not mention & that is a built-in LED light. I reckon it could either be a feature of the newer models or you simply forgot to mention it?
"And the award for making my life a little easier goes too..." ***Drum Roll*** "hpiguys Workshop." Great video. I've been looking for something simple I can use. Thanks you.
Those are just gimmicky. I use aquarium filter floss, it catches overspray. Anything else is just a gimmick to sell expensive filter floss. A hood like this can't remove fumes or VOCs. It can blow them out a window, that's it.
hi and thanks for creating this very useful video. I do have this extraction kit myself and due to overspray, I was thinking of investing in a Manometer to reduce buying filters if not needed to. Have you ever thought of these yourself
I need to get one of these. I might be tempted to get the version with the extractor duct. I'm also thinking I could use open cell foam like they used in old school window air conditioners. It's getting harder to find tho...ace hardware had it...no big box retailers had it here in fargo nd. It's open cell foam about a quarter inch thick. Bet it would would better just slightly dampened with water and just taped over the real filter. I think if the foam is just barely dzmp it would catch more debris and you could wash it it out in the sink after each paint shoot.
I have a pace brand ,that I have used for a few years ,one thing it is loud ,it is made of metal. they show that you can put 2 together how dose that work ? yours sure quieter than mine .
hpiguys Workshop in your video you acted like it was plug in and use. So that’s not the case at all. I’ll save my money and continue to paint the way I always have
@@timburnette5914 LOL, it does work right out of the box. If you want to vent fumes outside you need to add a hose, the way you do with anything other booth. Did you expect a $50 Ebay chinese paint booth with a foam filter to filter out volatile organic compounds and fumes like a $5000 hood would? That's kind of funny. I don't use a vent on mine, the booth is there to catch all the overspray and dust. I wear a respirator.
have you had any issues with the retractable power cord? On mine the pullback part busted and no longer retracts (I think that's why the new models have the AC power adapter now), which doesn't matter for me because mine is semi-permanent on my work table.
how well does it remove the smell from enamels as I want to bring my airbrushing in from the shed to the basement but cant have the house smell like paint
Take the bull by the horns, be the king of your castle and paint where you want. Your paint probably puts out no more fumes than a woman doing her nails or spraying her hair or cleaning the oven.
Hello, Do you think with such an booth i could paint inside without having the paint flying all over the furnaments? My wife would kill me! Could i spray with it in the bathroom for example? Because last time ive used a normal spray can and the whol floor of the bathroom was full of paint

Great Portable Spray Booth Review Video , very well done!!..Great Job!!
Just got mine and love the convenience of having my paint both on my desk and not going outside every time. Thanks
Good choice!
I'VE ALWAYS MADE MY OWN SPRAY BOOTHS, NOW I SHALL BUY THIS 31PB001-E420 ITEM.
After watching your video, I decided to give mine a try after having it over a year. Gotta admit that it works pretty good. Thanks for making the video. Now I can paint year round. 😁
I love it. Enjoy!
I need one and i am having my case work to help me with it
I am gonna have to eventually get one of those. I have a large home built booth now. But, will be making some changes in the near future!

Thanks Corey :)
Best review I have seen on this unit. Thanks!
Thank you!
OK, now I want one. Thanks for that review.
I want one too
I picked up the newer version with led lights and extractor hose $79 shipped. Great little booth. I'm grabbing a 2nd one to combine the 2
amishhitman Could you post the link we’re you got it at?
Again, watched one of your video's and spent money, lol!! Glad I did, great little spray booth, does everything I need!!
Thanks for the review. I was thinking about getting one and this was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Little booth you got there Chris,
As always, great review!!
Thanks as always!
That is really cool. Would be great for me living in an apartment.
very nice now I want one too
very nice review on the spray booth. ive had mine for 4yrs now amd it came with the hose for $50 bucks.
Yup, sure works well.
I got one off of ebay for $50 including the hose.
Good review on the spray booth Chris!.

Great review! Looks quite handy!
Thanks!
That looks pretty cool.Nice pick up.
I have one that I bought from Amazon I like it because I live in small apartment which it's perfect for.

Thank you and thanks for stopping by the channel and watching!
facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop
the manufacturer says not to use this with flamable paint, like enamel or lacquer?
can u use it as is or does it need the extra lenght of ventilation piping?
I just use it to catch overspray and wear a respirator myself because I have a complete seperate room in my basement where I can work.
Good review as always! thanks
Thanks for watching!

Awesome little booth! What is the second red button for?
Retracting the cable.
Does this one have a hose for extraction out a window? I use acrylic paints. Will this one without a hose work well? Thanks!
You can add a hose, I show what it comes with in the video.
I use it in every single model build review so you can see what it looks like now. Still going well.
chris the portable airbrush kit you have what seller did you obtain it from?
I have no idea, it's been many years.
Just google it and find your cheapest price online, everyone sells the same style booth, from Amazon to Ebay
Hi, I have what looks to be basically the same looking booth as mine but there is another feature on mine which you did not mention & that is a built-in LED light. I reckon it could either be a feature of the newer models or you simply forgot to mention it?
Mine has no light.
Would this be good for aerosol can spray paint?
I use it on every single build video and I use sprays 99% of the time.
@@hpiguy Your builds are amazing. Thank you for your prompt response.
Thanks, very appreciated.
Excellent review, thank you!
Thanks!
Howe well does it vent lacquer n enamel paints
I bought something like this from Amazon it is really good
Does this work without a hose
"And the award for making my life a little easier goes too..." ***Drum Roll***
"hpiguys Workshop."
Great video. I've been looking for something simple I can use.
Thanks you.
Thanks for watching the video, much appreciated!
Make sure to join the fun on the hpiguys Workshop Facebook page if you haven't already!
Hi Chris, Have you tried this with a replacement "black carbon filter"? May that help with the paint fumes and "voc"? kindest regards.
Those are just gimmicky. I use aquarium filter floss, it catches overspray. Anything else is just a gimmick to sell expensive filter floss.
A hood like this can't remove fumes or VOCs. It can blow them out a window, that's it.
@@hpiguy Thank you Chris.
I want to get one for my self
hi and thanks for creating this very useful video. I do have this extraction kit myself and due to overspray, I was thinking of investing in a Manometer to reduce buying filters if not needed to. Have you ever thought of these yourself
Can this be used with spray cans efficiently?
Been doing so for many years now.
Need this in my life lol!
Great video
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Great and informative video.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant, thank you
You're very welcome!
Hello! Would using acryllic paint extracted from spray cans work with this?
This will catch any type of overspray.
So you don't need the hose if your were working with only acrylics
I need to get one of these. I might be tempted to get the version with the extractor duct. I'm also thinking I could use open cell foam like they used in old school window air conditioners. It's getting harder to find tho...ace hardware had it...no big box retailers had it here in fargo nd. It's open cell foam about a quarter inch thick. Bet it would would better just slightly dampened with water and just taped over the real filter. I think if the foam is just barely dzmp it would catch more debris and you could wash it it out in the sink after each paint shoot.
I use aquarium filter floss, works great, cheap and can be tossed after every 6 kits or so.
It pulls the smell right out but I have like this but mine came with LED light bars
Please make a video of you using it. And how it do with the fumes. Because I see it don't have a vent to the outside.
You mean like the 500+ model builds on this channel where it's in the video? Enjoy!
Good show. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Going to check this out
How often do you need to clean or change the filter?
For me, every 6 to 8 kits.
I wish they offered this in an XL version for large scale RC or diarama
There is a unit that is two of these side by side. I've seen it around.
also is this preventin the model from dust particles?
These are designed to filter the overspray/dust, not the fumes.
Thanks for the review, I think I'm fix'n to pull the trigger and purchase one. Have you had any problems with your booth since you uploaded the video?
Zero, not much that can go wrong aside from the fan motor and it's working fine.
I airbrush goalie masks. I'm a goalie myself. I use createx wicked paint. will a goalie mask fit in the space?
Sir hi, what about the exhaust fumes, where do they go ?? surely not in the room. Please answer me. Thanks
If you don't run a hose out the window from the back you'll need to wear a mask.
I have a pace brand ,that I have used for a few years ,one thing it is loud ,it is made of metal.
they show that you can put 2 together how dose that work ?
yours sure quieter than mine .
From what I can see you just leave two of the sidewalls down and shove them together.
I have a question about the paint booth. Does the exhaust fan need to be vented to the outside
If you don't want fumes in your shop, yes.
hpiguys Workshop in your video you acted like it was plug in and use. So that’s not the case at all. I’ll save my money and continue to paint the way I always have
@@timburnette5914 LOL, it does work right out of the box.

I don't use a vent on mine, the booth is there to catch all the overspray and dust. I wear a respirator.
Thanks for the review. I just have a question is it ok to use rustoleum and krylon paints in this
It appears he shoots a lot of rustoleum and krylon paints with his judging by his videos.
Just checked this out on Amazon.....most of these are over $300 Cnd , with the one like yours going for close to $200! I guess prices went up in 2021.
Princess Auto carries it. I just checked today and regular price is currently $169.99 CAD but they have been on sale in the past for $99.99 CAD.
I use all paints in mine just ever so often I pull the fan out and clean it
have you had any issues with the retractable power cord? On mine the pullback part busted and no longer retracts (I think that's why the new models have the AC power adapter now), which doesn't matter for me because mine is semi-permanent on my work table.
None yet but if it breaks I can just coil it up I guess.
Nice video Chris. How long does it take you to build a mode, car start to finish?
Depends, but usually under a week.
Is it safe to use with rattle cans or is flammable aerosol not advised?
He uses it with Rustoleum and he has no problem
Hey my instructions say to remove one layer of the filter when using the exhaust hose. What has your experience been?
No issues here using it just as it is.
Who makes this?
Where can i buy it?
We made our own using a vent that goes over your kitchen stove
Cool!
Where can I find the name of the manufacturer and model number?
how well does it remove the smell from enamels as I want to bring my airbrushing in from the shed to the basement but cant have the house smell like paint
If you use the optional vent hose and put it out a window, yes, the fumes will be sucked out while it's running.
Take the bull by the horns, be the king of your castle and paint where you want. Your paint probably puts out no more fumes than a woman doing her nails or spraying her hair or cleaning the oven.
@@ResIpsaquitur wrong
That thing is less than $60?! Incredible
Still working as of today, hundreds of models.
OK Thank You .. I found the booth
Max
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Does it have to be vented out a window?
Not if you wear a proper mask.
no pipe? all the over spray ect just get sucked into the filter I guess?
Hello, Do you think with such an booth i could paint inside without having the paint flying all over the furnaments? My wife would kill me! Could i spray with it in the bathroom for example? Because last time ive used a normal spray can and the whol floor of the bathroom was full of paint
Can someone send me a link on amazon for this
I have one ordered from Amazon and it was 85$ + the governor's cigar.
quiero uno como obtenerlo???
Has anyone tried spraying with lacquer while using this? Is it safe?
I've shot every type of paint, no issues. The motor is brushless.
@@hpiguy thank you for confirming that :).
le voir en fonction ce serait mieux sinon cool
You can see it function in every single model build review, there are hundreds of them on my channel.
But that’s the easy part of the assembly. The hard part is the exhaust pipe.
