Default Re: new PC system buildup questions

Thanks for your opinion on that. Like I said I haven't even turned the gun on yet. Sounds like maybe it would be ok to start out in the basement. I can always send the air from the final filtering of the booth out the window too but I'd keep the filters, I would wan't to paint the lawn red.

I have another question. I read elsewhere that the recommended air flow for a spray booth is about 100cfm per square foot of openeing. If I have a 36x36 inch opening which would be comfortable that would be 9sqft I'd need about 900cfm.
I can't relate that to much except to say my friend in the HVAC business says a home furnace fan would be about 1000cfm. He says (and it seems to make sense) that the air would really be whistling through the opening with 900-1000cfm. Is something wrong with that estimate??
Those fans a pretty easy to come by. It would be a good place to start anyway. It could always be pullied down to a lower speed.
Anybody got any other suggestions on the idea?
