Is that where you sprayed yours?
I built a budget paint booth inside my dad's metal building. It's basically a stud framed booth with OSB lining and lots of lighting. I have a bunch of furnace filters on one end and a fan out the window. It works pretty well, but I need more CFM on my exhaust because it can get pretty foggy when I do clear. I wet the floor before I start and I open a new Tyvek suit and everything comes out really clean for being a low budget setup.
