Thanks

Fairly easy for small models and numebrs, get a large strong cardboard box, mount a coupel of PC fans WITH filters and run then up to creat positive pressure in the box and spray away. It usually needs a couple of baffles to stop the airflow mucking up your paint dispersal.

For more premanent, build it out of MDF and use kitchen fans and filters.

Do a goodle search on diy paint booths and you'll get hundreds fo ideas and plans. it makes a big diffrence and saves all that fixing after

Thanks, never would have thought of that...

White decals? bummer. Would it be worth trying to pain the stripes?
