Gas furnace and paint booth in the same garage?

for those of you who have built a paint booth, is this dooable, i already know how to build the booth, equal pressure fans, filters, blah blah, but this i need opinions on, obviously the furnace would not be inside the booth, but far in the corner of a 2.5 car garage.

is this a safe idea?

It would be safe, ONLY if you turned the pilot light off before you did any painting.

It doesn't take much paint in the air to create a combustible mixture.

I've got a booth in my shop with gas heat, but the heat is off and pilot is out when painting. You can get a sealed combustion conventional heater that will use outside air supply and power vent the exhaust, or a radiant tube type that will do the same. You may also be able to heat up the place and then shut down and put out the pilot, and have your painting done before you need to reheat the place, but with the amount of air circulating thru the booth if its cold out that won't work.
