I had a brain fart the other night. I get a lot of my ideas while I sleep. But anyways, I want to make a small spray booth. I'm thinkin about buying a 8 by 10 shed. Building the floor up off the ground by about a foot or so. Then, using hvac supplis, making the floor vents. the roof part would have some furnace filters for incoming air. the exhaust would be sucked out by a furnace blower since it's belt driven and there would by no sparks to ignit. This would obviously be for smaller parts and not a car. Cool?

Just make sure the fan blower motor is the fully enclosed explosion proof type.....I live in an agricultural area so those type motors are easily available from our ag supply stores...Farmers use them on ventilation fans and augers for grain storage bins and such.....
I would probably put the intake vent in a wall instead of the roof or ceiling....Made that ceiling vent mistake in the past, they are too hard to keep clean from minute outdoor particles....

What Jimmy said,,, wall vent,, high,, but wall vent intake,,
airconditioner filters,, exaust wall vent as well,, low,, opposite
end of bldg,, airconditioner filters as well,, gives a good cross
flow ventilation with clean air !!!
Good Luck on it !!!

I was actually thinking of putting this in my garage on wheels. It wouldn't have the peaked roof. But I do like your feedback. It's a good idea for the flow. I was goin for the down draft thing, but I suppose it's not needed in this type of aplication.

sound like a good Idea. but make sure the shed is tall enough.. I bougt one and had to raise it roof too low..

I would get sticky filters for the out going air so the in coming air is not dirty recycled air! Just a thought!

I definitely seems like it would work. It wouldn't be OSHA approved by any means, but it'd work.
I'd say put the incoming air filter as high as you can on one side, on the other side, use the sticky filters like redanner mentioned, and get some ducting and make a chimney of sorts to direct any fumes up, and preferably away from your neighbors (mine get kinda pissy if I'm spraying clear in the yard with a respirator on while telling them they don't need to worry.lol)
