Airbrushing is fun – the fine spray mist, less so. Known as overspray, it settles like dust on surfaces, and you breathe in pigments, which can be harmful even from water-based colors.
A compact extraction unit & suitable filters remove paint mist right at the source. With some models you can increase filter surface area and customize filters to your needs.
Besides clean air, they also make using solvent-based paints easier—activated carbon filters significantly reduce odors. Many units assemble quickly and can be fitted with an exhaust hose to vent fumes directly outdoors.
