No it would not be advisable. Cardboard won`t last, and a box without a exhaust fan and filters will not give you any protection against the oils and solvents in the paint. It really is toxic. I`ve seen old painters who have inhaled paint fumes all their lives (my grandfather) who wasn`t all there after exposure to the oil base paint. If you want to build your own I would suggest checking the store bought ones and learn the safety features offered on them. These small inexpensive(400.00 hah!) won`t offer 100% protection, but should be enough to protect most braincells. Paint booths can be simple (exhaust fan to filter or complex as a wall of water the comtaminated air is pulled through. Nice......but very very expensive. Please take the time to research safety features and spend a little more. After all your brain cells are worth it. Hope I`ve enlightend you a bit, we need clear heads in our hobby. Good Luck, Gerald
