I too have used a bathroom exhaust fan for 20 years with no problem. Most if not all of these use brushless motors so there isn't any sparking in the air flow. I've used Floquil paint for most of this time too. My spray booth sits on a workbench in our utility room, and I vent the booth out a window next to the workbench. I cut a piece of plywood the same width of the open window and placed the exhaust duct in it, and connected it to the booth with a short piece of flexible ducting. To use, I place the plywood insert into the window and lower the window to the plywood. This way I did not need to make a hole in the wall for the exhaust. I installed a furnace filter below the fan intake to capture some of the paint particles, and change it once or twice a year. It seems to be working as there usually is plenty of paint in the filter.
