Artograph 1520 Spraybooth

So I have been emailing back and forth with Ken and he is willing to replace the cardboard hood for the Artograph 1520 Spraybooth with galvanized steel. I have a couple of modifications that I would like to make if we are going to build a new hood. First would be an interior light, fluorescent is what I'm thinking with a daylight bulb in it. The other idea is to give it a steel mesh floor or maybe just steel strips running across the bottom so that models aren't sitting directly on the filter. A flat surface to rest models on sitting maybe 1/2" above the filters would be ideal I think. The filters aren't exactly flat and this would help keep everything standing upright while airbrushing. Some holes across the top panel would be good too so that I can hang components from hooks when necessary. So here are the front and side images of the booth as it exists now. I cropped them pretty good because my work area is a complete disaster at the moment:

Spraybooth and Paint

I like using my airbrush but I don't use it as often as I would like to. In the last month I have made a concerted effort to acquire more paint that won't need as much work to get it through the brush. To start I'm trying out the Vallejo Model Air paints. I have given up reading reviews on paint for the airbrush, it seems to either work for you or it doesn't. Since I have managed to get Vallejo Model color to flow through the airbrush I figured the Model Air should be a snap. Hopefully I can test that theory out in the next couple of weeks.
The Artograph spraybooth I ordered also arrived. I guess I should have read the description more carefully. Although the base is heavy steel construction the top and sides are actually cardboard. I guess in the long run it doesn't really matter what they are made of as long as air is getting pulled down through the filters. Again something that I hope to be able to try out in the next couple of weeks.
So much paint, so little time.
