tweety, thanks for the info. do they look like normal comp fans? and when u say u run everything off a 12v power supply, r u just using a comp PSU?
simon, cheers mate, i think that may fit the bill, but i have changed my plans... i was going to make a crossdraft booth coz i think it would be easier to vent, but after browsing this site(http://modelpaint.tripod.com/booth2.htm), i think i will make it a downdraft booth. i want to incorporate some shelves in the booth for holding thinners, tools and fume jar, and from what i read on that site, height is not a consideration when working out the cfm needed on a downdraft booth. tho most booths i see r crossdraft...does anyone know why this is? easier to build??
the top front of the booth will be cut at a 45?(not sure yet) angle, and i will install a sheet on clear plastic on hinges there so i will have a larger viewing area of what im spraying.
also, i will be placing a light inside (prob be best if i mount it outside and it can shine thru some plastic)the booth, prob towards the rear of the booth, theres never enuf light!!
i will post some pics when its done, and i will keep u guys informed, if u want!
i will be starting this project very soon, coz the fumes r killing me (litreally!!
)
