I saw one used on Roadworthy Rescues. Anyone use one like these?

I've never used one or heard of it.
But 10 feet would not be enough for me to walk around a car with a spray gun comfortably.

Yes, that size would be small for me too. I just linked what came up first. They have much bigger sizes...

I saw the title and immediately thought of that episode. When you don't have enough need for a dedicated facility and can batch you projects it seems like a pretty good solution.

On the Vevor website. What I wonder about is how the solvents used to cut the spray paint would impact the plastic.

Years ago I spayed a car outside. I picked the "perfect" day, no wind, 70-75°F, car was of course primed day before & wet sanded 600 then 1200, tack ragged. Everything was perfect & it turned out great, very early spring, no bugs.
It seems that booth would be nice for the money and apparently impervious to chemicals, thinners, etc.

Being of Chinese manufacture, compatibility with various solvents is suspect and looking at it on the Vevor website, I see nothing in the blurb about compatibility with anything at all. Be a real shame to spray a vehicle inside and have it 'melt down' on the vehicle. Sounds to me like a sticky mess...lol

Cheap alternatives often aren't the best solutions.

My 2 cents is check out youtube. Here's one on several videos:

Also I see where reviews are pretty high from people who have used one, 4.5☆ or so.

I hold little candle in reviews actually because with AI, you have no idea if the reviews are legit or not. Not something I need anyway, have zero use for one.

 

[Fuddyduddy1952]

I have no use for one either, but anything I buy especially over $100 or so I look at reviews and YouTube videos people may post about it.
That isn't gospel to me but helps me make a decision.
I agree with the guy's opinion: for professional use spraying many cars, buy a $10K+++ spray booth. For a few cars it's a good deal.
It's like Harbor Freight vs Snap On.
