Abstract
The invention is directed to a lightweight apparatus for the redirection and capture of paint overspray and airborne particulates at a surface being painted. The apparatus has a top tubing arrangement, and a bottom tubing arrangement, and blowers that provide air to both tubing arrangements. The invention also has an enclosure having a top opening and a bottom opening. The bottom tubing arrangement is positioned at the bottom opening. The bottom tubing arrangement includes a plurality of perforations creating an airflow that provides a pneumatic seal between the apparatus and the surface being painted, preventing the escape of paint overspray. The top tubing arrangement also includes a plurality of perforations that create an airflow that prevents the escape of paint overspray from the enclosure. Entrained paint overspray and airborne particles within the enclosure are captured by a filter within the enclosure.
