My booth is on rollers so I can place it in the bathroom window in the basement. I like to stand as I paint, so the tabletop is about four feet off the floor. My fan is mounted in a plywood frame that fits in the window. When not in use, the fan/frame is remove from the window. I use a Dayton from Grainger. It has a shaded pole (sparkless) motor, so can be directly in the airstream. Grainger sells an "explosion-proof" fan, but costs three or four times what the shaded pole job costs...insurance stuff, I guess. When I bought it, the Dayton came without fan blades, so you had to buy blades at the same time. If you get the Dayton, be sure to buy metal fins, so the solvents don't attack. I need to clean the fins with lacquer thinner on occasion to help the air flow. I am well satisfied with the Dayton. If I was setting up a spray booth today, I'd do it the same.
