zieg,
have you looked at putting in a downdraft ventilation system in your paint booth?

My plan is to make two big tarp curtains that I can pull out and meet together at a 90 degree. Sectioning off a little more than a 1/4 of my shop for painting.
Walls are crap magnets. Crap gets leand up against them, hung on them, etc. If you have interior walls they will collect clutter. I know a guy that has walls similar to what those plans are. He HATES them. For the clutter factor, plus they make the bays narrow.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

check out     thegaragegazette.com

I was reading there about a guy that put metal on his walls....bright white...said the lighting was awesome and didnt have to worry about banging up the drywall or getting anything wet. I think he found a light guage to use.

Buddy of mine put a full automotive paint booth in his shop!  Got lucky and a long-time local dealership was going out of business.  He got their paint-booth for next to nothing!!  Color me jealous!!!

I am actually looking for a used spray booth.  I have seen them for very little cost but you have to take them down yourself which at the moment I am not up too.  Plus they have been quite a distance.  I am actively looking so if I have to adjust the plans some it is easier before I actually start...  Was looking at 2 post lifts today between spray outs...
