Parts for Air Evacuator

[Joe]

Gentlemen,

After months of shopping around for the right spray booth, I have finally concluded that I need to build my own. I have a question for those of you that might already own one: What sort of exhaust fan should I buy. I am concerned about how much air it should draw, and whether or not it should be explosion proof. I use acrylic paint almost all of the time but hope to start using enamel and cellulose (lacquer) based paint some day.

Also, what should I know about air filtration? I assume I can use almost any central air filter placed in front of the fan, but I am not sure about that.

Thanks in advance for your sage advise!

Joe

Most of us started on this road and in the end we bought a commercially available unit
