I spent many years in the collison business and also sold body shop equipment paint booths frame machines thinner recyclers etc. paint booths have explosin proof fans and lights for a reason. Paint fumes can explode.
now I've seen a lot of people get away with what you have done but I'm just saying be carefull.

You need your fans to pull the air out !! Put them on the out side of the filters, and they will pull the air out. Your air from spraying gives you a positive pressure. The way you have set it up you have two much positive pressure, and the fan you have could ignight paint fumes !!! You want a slite negative presure , so when you pull the triger it is just a tad positive. Just make sure if the water hearter is in the garage, turn off thr pilot light !! You can turn it back on when your done. Even when the paint is drying over night, with no venting the  fumes can ingnight !! Have fun but be safe. I know of 3 people that have burnt there house down, painting in there garage !!
