Do you know wjhat brand? Any experience with them?
We have a smaller paint booth... It's all open with downdraft filters. It works well for smaller jobs.
Some larger pieces we have to paint elsewhere. I've attached the link.
There were too many hoops to jump through here to get an actual booth... we would've had to spend almost three times the cost of the booth to get everything approved by the city.

You can make your own pretty easily. Ours is a large exhaust fan vented out the roof that pulls air through a wall of filters. The previous tenant (cabinet shop) put it together from a kit. It works alright.

Compared to prefabricated paint booths, twenty-foot shipping containers are extremely cheap and plentiful. You can hardly buy the materials to build a booth for the cost of a container. And yes, they can be delivered and set inside an existing building...or left to stand alone if you have a safe way to keep it heated during use.
I'm in a rural area and I use an axial fan (grain bin dryer fan) to extract the dust through a plenum near the ceiling, and then down through a cabinet and then through the floor at the far end. It's hard-wired for lights and it's plumbed for air. I custom built the 7-foot swing arm lamp.
We use ours for sandblasting cemetery monuments and boulders, but I've done plenty of painting projects in it as well. I paid a little extra and bought a nicer looking "one-tripper" (they're essentially brand new, and used just once).
If I had it to do again, I would have gotten a high-cube (9'6" high, instead of 8'6").

We use Matthews Paints and a humble husky gun from home depot. The paint is very forgiving, and while my painter would rather something like a devilbiss, when asked if it would be a good investment, he didn't see a need for anything we're doing.
