Add a hole in the top towards the back and insert a shop vac hose to remove over spray.
20-25 psi is what I use for most createx. On some of the pearls I have to go up to 30 psi.

Add a $10 walmart box fan and a furnace filter to the box and you will get a pretty efficient spray booth (water based paint only). I find that with some of the inexpensive paints such as folk art you can use them right out of the bottle with 40#s or more pressure.

I just used some foam board I got at AC Moore to make a "spary booth"....if thats what you want to call it. Not the prettiest but works fine for me.

One of those large plastic tubs. Springs on each side about 6inches in. Small screw hooks on each end of the plug attached between the springs. You can turn the plug any angle ya want as ya spray.

Initially I used a cardboard box with with cheesecloth inside to catch the spray. Unfortunately a lot of the spray stays airborn and drifts out and ends up as a coating all over the shop. My current booth is a large plastic box with a hole and a fan at the back and a furnace filter in between. It works well. There is no comparison to the amount of spray that was drifting all over my shop when I used a box without the fan. I had a furnace filter alredy so my total outlay for the 10" box fan and box was under $14 at Walmart.

Larry,
Once you get the airbrush, get some scrap cardboard and practice some on that. Try drawing dots of various sizes and lines of various widths. Get used to how you have to use the trigger and move the brush to get the effects that you want. After that, grab some of those failed blanks or sections of dowels and practice actually painting a color scheme. Once you are comfortable with how the brush works and getting the desired results, try it on a few plugs. Its not too hard, just takes some practice. Be eye candy time in no time
