Airbrushing in the living room

I do use my airbrush for priming, sealing and in some cases for painting e.g. tank models. Now I do not need to brush it outside any more since I bought a great piece of equipment.

During my search for Marmite I found a really great shop in Frankfurt for painting and airbrushing stuff Farbton Frankfurt. Update: The shop is moving to darmstadtand is currently only available via internet. I talked a lot to Heiko, the owner, and he showed me a ectraction hood for airbrushing. Although the thing was not cheap I bought it since I really want to paint on my desk. 170 Euro is quite a lot for that, but I have seen Heiko´s really old airbrush air cleaner so I was sure, that this product will live for long.

Yesterday I tried it and primed some models on my desk. The extraction hood has an activated carbon filter for paints with dissolver and a filter for dried paint particles in the air.

It worked excellent, almost every paint in the air was removed and it did not smell although I used Tamiya paint with dissolver. The hood is quite silent I could listen to my radio without disturbing my girlfriend too much.

Those guys for you who already invested much in airbrush equipment may like to know the product´s name: It is an air cleaner 3584/3585 by aircom an italian company.

If you are interested either, please support my local dealer, since currently there is much competition among the paint suppliers. Farbton Frankfurt ist really a nice Shop with much experience and Vallejo Air Colours! Currently the air cleaner is not in the online shop, so just contact via phone or email.

The acryl cover can be closed, the left and right metal covers can be removed. I think sealing and priming will take place more often in the next months!
