There are several ready made versions available. You can vent them out the window by way of an exhaust fan, usually supplied with the booth. They can also be home built. I have a cabinet that came from a local big box store, that I had to assemble. I put the paint booth in the top section, compressor in the bottom, and store spray cans and other supplies in other areas of the cabinet. On the outside back of the paint booth section, I cut a hole and installed a cooling fan from an old computer to exhaust the fumes. A clothes dryer duct will fit on most of those fans, and I run mine out the window.

There is thread here somewhere all about there, if you build your own use an explosion proof fan. Here’s mine I made it out of a couple totes

A lot of very good low buck options here and any of them will work just fine. I would like to add one word of caution . This has been talked about here in the past by those that know far more than I do. But the area you will want to consider has to do with what type of exhaust fan you use. Remember you're putting semi combustible paint fumes thru this exhaust vent and there is a possibility to ignite them if the fan motor isn't properly designed for the job. This is one area you might not want to try and short cut.
