I lined the white walls of polyethylene, and placed a variable speed fan in the window. I was walking with a roll of tape and seal the perimeter of the fan to the cops close in the walls. Now on the lights. After the first time you try to paint something, you quickly learn how good lighting is essential. In fact, when I talked about the lighting, the brightest in their field of painting, the better. A friend gave me two to four fluorescent tubes, which hang on both sides of my new paint booth. It is good to have reflective walls. Lining the walls white poly not only saves your walls, but also very thoughtful.

SAFETY

In addition, the paint fumes are not only super toxic, they are highly flammable. Make sure your devices are connected correctly and that its facilities are fully enclosed with the cap. Last but not least, make sure you have a good quality respirator with filters for type of paint you use.
