Paint Booth I Built.

: I saw information on a temporary set up for a paint booth but can't find it.
: Does anyone have any suggestions?

I once made a paint booth that worked really well controlling lots of paint spray. I put up a temporary closet size room in the garage with a plastic sheet hanging for the door. I took two cheap explosive proof fans and mounted them in a piece of plywood that sucked the paint spray from my work and through the fans. In back of the fans was a roller pump that sprayed a pressurized mist of water that collected the paint spray and it all run down into a waist paper basket full of water. The paint collected on top of the water and the pressure roller sucked up clean water from the bottom of the waist basket. I was spraying paint by the gallons and none of the paint residue got away. I didn’t even have to wear a mask it was so efficient.
