The booth was made mostly by hand out of MDF. I highly recommend building the booth out of plywood, MDF is not the best choice.

Here you can buy the powder coating gun I use from my store:

There are three in my opinion super important parts of any powder coating booth.

  • Filtering system
  • Light
  • Rotating system

To build the filtering system I designed my own box fan that was 3d printed and used cheap BLDC motors. Unfortunately in Europe, box fans are not popular and in Poland, it’s impossible to buy a box fan. So making these on my own was the only choice for me. If you have access to box fans just buy something inexpensive.

My tools for powder coating: 
3M mask: https://amzn.to/3RiThRk
Mini oven: https://amzn.to/3RAX6Sn
Air compressor: https://amzn.to/47QP4vj
Powder coating paint: https://amzn.to/3RKLVI5
Powder coating hooks: https://amzn.to/47SEwfo
LED strip: https://amzn.to/487XbDB

You can use cheap LED strips to make very good light for your booth. I used the waterproof version of the LED strips but I don’t think it is necessary. With a simple plastic bracket bought in a hardware store, these were attached to the booth.

The rotating system was simply 3D printed. Additional big bearing and some wooden sticks resulted in a perfect little carousel for painting the parts and rotating them around. The bearing was used not only to rotate the part but also for grounding the part while painting.
