I don't recommend the shop vac.  Explosive paint fumes and a motor with
brushes don't make a good combination.  Also the filter would likely
plug quickly and the shop vac would simply blow the fumes throughout the
shop.

The fan would have to be vented to the outside or it would simply
redistribute the overspray.  A brushless fan (no sparks) would be best
and/or a fan designed for paint exhaust.  The fan should be vented to
the outside with a filter.

I have built a small box (24"X24"X24") to paint small items in my garage

(hoping to keep the overspray from going everywhere).  My question is 
whether or not it is worth the time and effort to install some sort of 
vacumn/filter to draw air out of the box while I'm painting?  If so, 
what would be the best way to do it?  I have a shop vac, and a small fan

available.  Any suggestions or comments are welcomed - offline if you 
prefer.  Thanks in advance,
