The January/February issue of Ships in Scale magazine has a construction article of one.

Wow, there is a technique and science to paint booths?
Nice link RiverRaider...

Plans? I just duct taped five pieces of foam core poster board together and then mounted a bathroom fan on the back. Then taped a furnace filter over the outlet hole.
Does a decent job of venting fumes, but could use more CFM of air movement.

The MicroMark paint booth uses a 185cfm fan. That might be a good baseline when looking for fans.

That is one small booth, not hardly big enough for a plastic car or airplane. The 185 cfm would be the bare minimum for anything larger. I would probably look at more in the 250 range

Just do the poster board thing, set it up next to a window and use a 20"box fan.

I like the idea of pulling the air down through the bottom, I was thinking a display rack from a deli or grocery store would make a nice grate. Just cut to fit, would look like a big grill but with a fan underneath hopefully instead of fire but one could just get a big hood filter for an oven, so paint doesnt go directly in the fan. I like this.

Quicksilver you could always buy an egg crate diffuser for an overhaed light. They aren't very expensive.,

Took me a second I know what you're talking about, very good idea, also good laminar flow characteristics.

I use a squirrel cage blower and motor pulled from an old clothes dryer. Its all bolted together when you pull it, and accepts standard 4" ductwork, 110V, 1 1/4HP Direct Drive. Totally spark-proof and can suck paint straight out of the gun without a compressor. YeeeHAW!
