I decided to build a temporary paint booth in my garage to paint parts for my 1979 Camaro and my 1971 C10 truck. Things got out of hand. I build a pulley system to move the wall in a couple of seconds. The set up time for this paint booth is very impressive. This is a must have in every garage if you plan on painting classic cars.
Here is the parts list
3 mil 10×25″ Polar Plastics clear plastic sheeting (I used 4 of these)
1″ pvc and elbows (for the lower frame)
1×2″ wood pieces (for the upper frame)
a handful of Screw Eyes
a handful of Open S Hooks
2 Hitching Rings with square plate (the hoop)
3/16″ 100′ Polypropylene diamond braided rope (depends on how many walls you need)
3/4″ Koch single sheave pulley (depends on how many walls you need)
1″ 4×8′ Polystyrene foam board cut to fit your doorway
20x20x1″ True Blue Fiberglass House filter (for the fans)
20x24x1″ True Blue Pleated Media Furnace Filter (for the foam door)

Pretty awesome design. I tried to convince my hangar mate to build something similar. We ended up with something effective but much more temporary and cumbersome to put up and take down.
Thats one hell of a job!!!
Hey Bart, (I saw Russ mentioned your name in his comment) Totally awesome idea, I'm glad I thought of it. LOL JK I saw something like this in a restoration magazine I take however, that setup wasn't as well designed as yours. I really like the simplicity of the roll down & roll up so it really doesn't take up a lot of storage space when not in use, yet comes into play very quickly. The only suggestion I would like to make, if you haven't done it already, is to take a torch to the ends of your lines to seal them, so they don't continue to fray. I use this type of line often and the frayed ends can be a pain. My only hiccup, if I can call it that in my shop, is the 10 ft. ceiling trusses so I'll have to get larger sheets of plastic and longer pieces of PVC tube. I too have a 72 C10 that needs some of the very repairs you show us in another video. Thanks for taking the time to share you ideas and great skills. Stay safe.
