First place that comes to mind is Grainger.
Be seeing you...
Yep, my spray exhaust setup is a dayton from grainger.
Chuck - what size/style fan are you looking for?

12-16" for exhausting lacquer overspray.....
Chuck - I have a 16" explosion prooof fan with the fan intake guard (#6D582) and shutter (#4C557) accessories. New, never used. The fan is model #3XK37 from Grainger. You can get the info by doing a search at http://www.grainger.com for this model # at the top of the page.
If you're interested, send me an email - I'll give you a good price on the fan & accessories. Shipping may be somewhat costly - it's heavy. I got the fan with the expectation of leasing a space, but the lease never developed.

If chuck is not interested, I might be.
Depends on price and shipping.

Try either Grainger or McMaster Carr
try sprayshield.com They are cheaper than grainger, but I don't know if they are apples to apples

Just make sure that the electrical rating is Class 1, Division 1 (explosion proof).

Try a laboratory supplier or even a laboratory contractor. These fans get used in fume hoods all the time because of the volitile chmicals that can be used. I know that there are a couple in NJ, all with the names like Lab Crafters, Lab Land.
Also try http://www.thebluebook.com and put in your area, then type in laboratory and then go to Laboratory Furniture and Equipment. They should all be able to either sell you one or steer you in the right direction.
