Repurpose a Dead Dishwasher Into a Spray Paint Booth [Repurpose]

If you frequently spray paint small to medium size items you'll want to eventually put together some kind of spray booth to contain overspray and make it easier to paint all sides of your work surface. If you have access to a non-working dishwasher you may have everything you need to make an ideal spray booth.

Make Projects user Randy Hawkins gives a step-by-step method with photos of converting a dead dishwasher including stripping down the dishwasher to only the body and legs, adding a small fluorscent under-cabinet light, plugging the water drain, and adding a lazy susan to easily rotate work surfaces for even coverage.

About the only feature missing you might want is a ventilation system. Randy did not construct the spray booth with one since he uses exclusively non-toxic vapors but if you wish to include one it would be easy to incorporate through the existing water drain.

You could probably use the same design if you sell a lot of auction items and need to maintain a photo booth that always ready to use; if you want to use it this way you'd probably want to add additional lighting.
