New Garage

I am building a new 30x30 garage that will store a 78 pickup and 66 pickup.I am using the 78 pickup for a doner truck,and everything will be removed then carried off to the scrap yard. The 66 will be torn down to the frame and repainted and restored.
My question is does anyone have pitchures of how I can build a portable paint booth inside the garage so there won't be bondo dust and over spray all over the place.
I have been fighting with my wife for years about building this garage and finally won the battle.
Should I paint the floor with a cement paint?

Re: New Garage

I was thinking about one of the blue tarps that are being used on the roof down on the gulf coast.
Sheets of plastic will be cheaper though.

Re: New Garage

Make a frame frome 2x4 studs and skin with clear plastic. Use clear packing tape to seal the seams. Create a n area down low where you can put a/c filters for fresh air intake, and use a squirrel cage fan to exhaust the fumes.

If you check with a local a/c shop you can get used squirrel cage fans out of old units they are throwing out for free.
