ok well today i got 3 home depot fans and 4 filters.
i have never heard of a paint diffuser so it scares me and i dont like it haha,
but yah all and all i figured two sucking in and one blowing out... get the one going out wet before i start painting and that way the moister and filter catch most the paint and have it pull through... it wont be a electric free paint booth because its a garage and it for a few hours of painting at the most in a house im renting haha so if something like this would work and be alrite im ok with it. most everything i do at work everyday is dangourous (oilfield) so whats a little more at home.. in my race car no less8)

The kind of fan I was referring to is a large 24"or 30" square fan, usually comes with a 2 or 3 speed switch. You can buy the diffusers at most body shop suppliers. Don't let the name scare you, they're just made of brown paper in layers with thousands of slits cut into them. Make a frame out of plywood to mount them in. Keep in mind that you need adequate air flow to keep the atomized paint to air ratio low. Just like air /fuel ratio's in an engine it takes a certain amount of density to ignite, you don't want to be at that density. BE SAFE. What kind of paint equipment do you own(paint gun/ regulator/moisture trap etc.) What temperature is it now where you live, there are different reducers to use depending on temperature and humidity. What kind of paint are you using.
