Hi,
A suggestion for an extraction fan (or two) would be somthing like the fan
used in an shower unit as these are sealed units and have no obvious
brush/contact system for a spark to be created within ,especially useful if
you choose to spray celulose or such like imframmable mixtures. Most of
these fans have flexable ducting that can be seculy fitted to them.
What you should also think about is to fit a type of disposable
filter/baffle over the extracter fan that will absorb the spent paint before
it reaches the fan otherwise the fan will very fast be covered/clogged up.
Perhaps a system of throwaway false sides (internal) might be also an
consideration if you intent to do a lot of work as paint does tends to cling
to sides of any booth.
Hope this helps.
