It would catch the over spray, but I can't see it doing much for the fumes.

   Rog?

I would be cautious because the motor may generate sparks and cause a fire or explosion. Safest pump to use is a bildge pump which is made to work in an envornment with flamable gases. Below is a thread with lots of into.

That's just a filter bucket, there is no motor.

It's for a clothes dryer if you don't have an exterior vent.

   Rog?

I vent to the outside in the winter, even in freezing weather.  Setup is a window with a piece of Lexan window material as tall as the opening and about a foot wide with a dryer vent punched through it.  I open the window slide the Lexan into the opening and close the window on that.   Never had any issues with the room temperature being too cold the fan unit pulls air from the room and exhausts outside.

I would be leery of the "bucket" filter that you showed, it defeats the purpose of using the spray booth to exhaust the fumes and particulate outside.  I could see the room filling up with paint fumes pretty quickly with that type of unit.   You might as well just spray into a non-running spray booth rather than filter through that "bucket".  I saw one unit and I can't recall where I saw it.  It pushed the vented fumes through water, then through a charcoal filtration layer and then through a third filter of wadded up towels and T-shirt material.  It was said to remove "a lot of the fumes" but not all the fumes. If given the choice, I would vent outside no matter what the weather.

mine is vented out the window year round. i just took a piece of plexiglass cut a hole in it, got me a dryer vent ..(one that has the flapper that will close it off when not in use..keeps the critters out)..and screed & silicone it in place. i just keep the vacuum close by to clean out the filters. and that is a must to keep the fums out of your home..

Here’s mine. All rigid metal exhaust, through panel to outside.

  I wouldn't waste money on that.  That will not get the paint fumes out of the room you will be painting in.  Just use a simple dryer duct pull fumes outside through an open window or open door.
