Simple Paint Booth

This Instructable will show you how to make a simple Paint Booth for painting small items. I plan on using this booth for painting small PC components in the near future, as well as little items here and there.

The first thing you are going to need to do is gather your materials. You are going to need:

(8) 3/4" PVC 90's - These are around $0.40 each at Home Depot

(10) 3/4" PVC TEE's - These are around $0.60 each at Home Depot

Plastic Sheathing - This roll cost me about $13.00 at Home Depot

Duct Tape - Might have some laying around, I bought this pack for $2.00 and it was plenty!

Screws - I had these lying around, you don't NEED them, but they can come in handy in the future

Saw - I ended up using a circular saw later

Bailing Wire - Cheap and a good tool to have

24" x 24" Base Board - This cost me about $8.00 at Home Depot. You can go larger or smaller depending on your needs

(3) 10' Sticks 3/4" PVC - I had some laying around, but all in all, it is cheap

I decided to make my booth roughly 18" x 18" inside, and roughly 40" tall.

You will need:

(9) Pieces of PVC 16-3/4"

(4) Pieces of PVC 7-3/4"

(4) Pieces of PVC 2"

(4) Pieces of PVC 4"

You can start pushing the pieces together:

The base is (4) TEE's, (4) 90's, (4) 16-3/4" Pieces, and (4) 2" Pieces. Make a rectangle with the 90's on the outside and the (4) TEE's looking up. The 2" Pieces hold the 90's to the TEE's.

Then stick the risers into the TEE's. I used 36" Risers here.

After that, stick (4) TEE's on the risers with the branches facing one another on each side.

Place the 7-3/4" Pieces in between the TEE branches and add another TEE facing the center on each side. Connect these two TEE's with a 16-3/4" piece.

Lastly, add the (4) 4" Pieces to the top of the TEE's, and face the remaining 90's into one another. Attach these together using the remaining 16-3/4" pieces.

Drill a small hole slightly larger than your bailing wire in the center of the middle piece of PVC

Lastly, wrap (3) sides with the sheathing. Use the duct tape to hold it in place.

I placed a small plastic "door" on the front side for easy access.

Use bailing wire as a hook through the center PVC hole and paint away!

I used mine right away and painted some hooks with plasti-dip!

As you can see, I didn't use the screws; however, you can use the screws to hold your pieces in permanently. Or you can use PVC Cement for a permanent booth as well. I dry-fit them so that I can make it larger if need be.

Later on I may add some more features, like air flow and heating, but this will do for now.
