I have just returned after three weeks, so I apologize if this was
discussed while I was away, but if you are using a fan to exhaust paint
fumes, I would want to make certain that the fan motor and associated
electrical components are totally enclosed (no sparking). These motors
tend to be much more expensive than the typical open-frame motors, but
it may keep the roof on your shop.
Using an intake fan should not require this precaution as you would only
pass "clean" air.
