So where I live (right next to a large body of water) is really bad for high humidity.

When it comes to priming / spray painting models it's hit or miss if the paint isn't going to spider... My question is this...

Is there a safe way to make a painting booth in ones basement? I have two windows I can open, and two fans for air circulation. In your guys opinion, is it still safe to create a spray painting station in my basement?

During the late spring / early summer months it gets pretty humid, so I do have a dehumidifier in the basement to get rid of the sodding moister in the air.

Need some opinions on the matta.

Thanks Dakka.

is it hard to make? i've thought of it too but where my window is it would hit my missus car which would result in a few problems for me...

I've made a spray booth ..

but if I was doing a good bit of it and needed to do it over ..

I'd go this route ..

I think the last decisive engagement the French won was the American Revolutionary War, so I try and give them as little crap as possible.
