I didn't see any posts that mentioned the overhead bar and coathanger hooks method of holding the victim to be sprayed in place. The hooks are so bent as to allow an easy 180 deg swap. I've never felt a need for a rotating table.

My booth is a homemade unit somewhat smaller than the specs given. I put two levels of filters in front of a muffin fan, oriented to suck rather than blow. The furnace filters, coarse, then fine (next to the motor) filter almost everything. The one drawback is the frequency with which the filters have to be changed. The motor is directly behind the target. I've threatened for years to move it topside for the reasons stated elsewhere, but I wanted to keep the spray contained. It is.

I have to wonder if the fumes generated by an air brush while using paint with volatiles is a hazard worth worrying about.
