Abstract: An airbrush vacuum system for removing paint particulate from the air that results from an airbrush painting operation. The airbrush paint vacuum system includes a vacuum chamber designed to fit interiorally of the garment being painted. A vacuum source is connected to the vacuum chamber, and in operation, a vacuum is generated in the vacuum chamber. This vacuum results in paint particulate being induced from the surrounding air through the garment itself into the vacuum chamber. Thereafter, the captured paint particulate is conveyed to a collection area.
