I am contemplating making the typical homebuilder's paint booth (2x2 

frame covered with plastic).  I've read Ron Alexander's book and seen 

sam james video.  No one seems to specify a CFM rating for the vent 

fan.  The total volume of the booth in its largest configuration will be 

about 1300 cu ft. (it will taper towards the back because of space 

constraints).  I note that the commonly available attic vent fan (that's 

something homes often have here in the arizona desert) is about 1350cfm 

for about $50.   That would turn over the air once/minute.  Actually it 

would probably be about half that in the real world.  Is that adequate, 

or is a larger gale necessary?

I was told by another experienced builder/painter not to use plastic  to cover a temporary paint booth but to use house wrap, like Tyvik, (sp) as it  does not hold the dust like plastic film. 

Makes sense to me. 	  Quote:

 Hmmm, never thought about the static cling thingy.  Seems like that would keep the dust off the new paint, though.

For what its worth, I painted an Ercoupe in my garage a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised to fine a lot of the over-spray actually stuck to the clear plastic I stapled up and made clean up much easier. Also I placed all of my temporary lighting outside the plastic and it worked great for getting the needed reflection to avoid runs and insure a good final wet coat.
