The book looks very interesting, and the AK site features a lot of great resources, apparently.
Does anyone have an opinion about this kind of paint cabin :

AK Interactive also has an online US webshop/distributor:

http://www.ak-interactive-usa.com/ (http://www.ak-interactive-usa.com/)

...however the book is not yet listed there. Interestingly they do list an upcoming FAQ2 by Mig Jimenez.

Never seen one or used one of these....but based on he dimensions it seems a bit small to comfortably work in...looks more like you are supposed to work more in front of it, and hope it sucks in all your overspray...just seems a bit limiting....but better than nothing, and easy to store or move around (both which are a definite plus).  Also does it come with a fitting that will fit an exhaust hose, and if so what diameter and length can one use?

Virgil and I talked about my publishing this book but my company isn't really suitable. Still, I had a chance to look at some sample chapters and I recommend the book highly. It is most satisfactory. -- Russ

Thanks for the answer, Marc. Size is always an issue with paint cabins, but indeed this ones looks rather small when open.
