I'm looking at expanding my shop and including a dedicated spray booth. I've allocated about 12' x 12' for the spray booth and I'm figuring on a 3600 CFM explosion proof fan with a 6' x 6' frame for the arrestor filters. I'm not sure how far I should have the arrestor filters from the fan. As drawn, it is 18". I'm also considering using the space around the filter for storage, or possibly offsetting the filter and fan to one side and putting in a countertop with a skink for mixing and cleanup. I may also put the sink outside the spray booth. The other portion of the expansion will be office and wood storage. I intend on having a 4 x 8 rack so I can store sheet goods flat, and shelves above that for long boards. I'm thinking about building a custom double door into the spray booth that has large openings for intake air filters. I'll probably also have cutouts in the wall for more intake filters. The opening on the left will be a double door into the existing shop. Thoughts?
