Cheap but effective painting booth

[tobijohn]

I don't remember joining but apparently i belong to a Facebook guitar refinishing group. Recently someone posted about using a portable wardrobe from IKEA as a paint booth. I thought it was ingenious and at only $13, well worth not having to mess around hanging and securing plastic drop cloths. Also, at that price, they're pretty much disposable:

This one costs more, but you could fit nearly half of your guitars in it.

Edit: why does this forum break Amazon links?

I think I joined that finishing group too.

I'm gonna hit IKEA for that thing. Perfect timing & size.

I’m in too! Thanks @tobijohn

That looks good to contain overspray, but appears to be too small to get inside, zip shut and spray?

I've used bigger variants of this concept in the past: https://www.wayfair.com/Impact-Instant- ... ccessories

You can put a fan on a work table blowing away from the tent, to create negative pressure exhaust. The screens are usually made for 'no-see-ums' and will keep a lot of the debris off your work, as well as contain most of the overspray. Some even have cross bars in the from work, to which you can hang your guitars to paint.
