no fan?
Looks awesome! Wish I had something along the lines of this!

A large cardboard box also works well.
This is what I setup so my wife can spray paint stuff.

I'm using mother nature's fan, the Oklahoma wind.

I spray outside with amazing results. No booth needed.

It's mostly to block the wind. There's a reason why Oklahoma wind is famous in song.

It's in the works along with battery powered lights. Low voltage less of a chance of a boom.
I finished my new paint booth about a month ago. I wanted something capable of taking a 3ft length of tube or MPR. I also wanted a proper filter to take out all the fine paint dust as it was getting everywhere.
The final version has two 120mm computer fans on the top pulling air through some proper filter material. The filter is held in place by a 3D printed grille, which can be removed with 4 wing bolts for quick filter changes.
After each spray the door is closed and air is drawn in from the bottom, so any droplets in the booth get sucked upwards to the filter.
Having painted a couple of rockets with it its been a massive improvement on the old booth. The filter gets really dirty and needs changing regularly, which means that very little dust is getting into the workshop. After the first rocket I wiped the bench with white kitchen roll and picked up no paint residue.

Food for thought.
A fold-away Wagner spray booth. They come in all sizes. Here is an Amazon link to one of them: https://www.amazon.com/HomeRight-Shelter-C900051-Portable-Painting/dp/B01I1YI09O. A box fan and air filter are all that are needed. The smaller ones can sit atop a workbench and then be put away.

Looks like some of the camping tents, you know the kind that has all the small rods for a frame and you can even toss some of them in the air and hit the ground ready. But having a fan is really necessary.
