I must agree. I have a spray booth,which works very well, but I much prefer
painting outside because the light is so much better. I bought a portable air
tank from Home Depot that I fill from my compressor for portability. Now I can
even spray paint on vacation :o) Of course, that's not possible during the
prime modeling period...Winter. The other thing is, get some 5000 Degree
Kelvin flourescent tubes for your shop and layout. I painted a model of
a steel water tower dark green. I wanted to paint the concrete piers, what
else, concrete gray. I painted over those piers 4 times and I could still see
green coming through. I got frustrated and decided to take the model out of my
shop and bring it into the house. The moment I stepped into the sun, the green
disappeared. I had a good laugh and learned a lesson. Daylight bulbs.

I found that the best way to airbrush is outside on a sunny day (even a cloudy
day is
good). The light is VASTLY SUPERIOR to any light that is generated while
indoors and you
can BREATHE... it's worth schlepping the airbrush and required equipment
outside.

you need
to.
