Update: That paint booth fan I installed last month is already causing issues
Three weeks ago I put in a new exhaust fan for our booth at the shop in Denver. Spent $400 on it thinking it was a solid upgrade. Last Friday I noticed the paint was drying with weird patterns on a Subaru hood. Turned out the fan is pulling too much air and messing with the airflow. I'm starting to think spending more on a variable speed unit would have been smarter. Has anyone else had this problem with oversize fans?

Have you checked if the fan has a speed controller you can add? I used to think bigger fans were always better but seeing similar issues at a buddy's shop changed my mind on that real quick.

@riley_coleman my buddy Jake in Aurora burned through three paint jobs before he figured out the same thing.
