    I did pretty much what you said. I built an insert for the side door on my garage and installed two box fans in it. The box fans have induction motors, so do not spark. Inside the garage, I built a 'spray booth' with 2x4 lumber with Visqueen sides and roof. (sorry, no photos of that) The door to the spray booth had several high-density air filters installed. I opened the garage door slightly for makeup air. The compressor and all other electrics were outside this 'booth.'

    I realize this is not 100% safe because the fans are not certified explosion proof, but it's fairly common practice. Check Roger's (rspears) setup on THIS THREAD.
