I thought about doing this but was a bit terrified that it would be a bit, umm messy!
Chicken. And not @Chicken lights either.
I think as long as the hole is near the top, it wouldn't be as messy as you fear. You should man up and try it for the team a few times.
Last year I finally bit the bullet and bought one of these collapsible paint booths c/w fan and LED lighting. The hose doesn't fit in the box when it's all folded up but does compress to a short length or stretches out and the vent can be set up to blow outside. Keeps some of the fumes out of the shop (and house).
I use it for conformal coating PC boards and spray painting casting patterns. (Hence the green overspray for milling machine patterns.). IIRC, I bought it from KMS I think... I bought generic filter material from Lowes and cut to fit new filters.

Yes. Pointing the exhaust in my face never quite made sense but it doesn't really matter. You can flex the hose anywhere. You are welcome to come over and take a look at it.Is this the model you have?

The large Lee Valley tent spray booth at $80 doesn't seem too expensive to me.

Looks like you could even rotate the tent instead of crawling in there.
The big one is pretty huge. basically the sixe of a sheet of plywood.
This one would be about right I think.

On the Lee Valley link I posted above, if you switch the size dropdown to small, Lee Valley has the same smaller one for $10 less.
ETA, actually, now that I look at the listed sizes, the Lee Valley small is er, smaller...
I have the small spray tent from Princess Auto. They are about $25 on sale. Pops up when you take the elastic off. Too small for what your doing I would guess (about 2' inside). The other idea I have seen is to attach poly tall enough to go from the floor to the garage door track and attach a board at the top and bottom. Attach the top to the garage door track (on the outside) and then roll up the bottom board in the poly and tie it up when not in use. When you need it untie and roll down. I have not done this, but I do a similar thing with welding blankets to make a welding booth in my garage. I have a piece of 1/2" conduit attached between the single garage door tracks to hang a blanket from that part. It forms a three sided welding booth with the fourth wall the door if I need to open it a bit.
Do they sell tents to fit a tractor?
Edit - my wife wants to know if they sell cages for big hairy guys with big feet? I am hoping she means @LenVW but I'm not sure he meets the hairy criteria .....
Trying to figure what the purpose of that washer is.
@Susquatch there are all kinds of fabric buildings for sale that are big enough to be accommodate a semi-truck or farm tractors. I thought you were looking for something more formidable like cement block or pole barn.Do they sell tents to fit a tractor?

BTW
Tell your wife that both my grandfathers died with a full head of hair !!
LOL
I was just kidding.
I have no real plans for more buildings - fabric or otherwise. I might build a 40x20 lean-to on the north side of my pole barn as a sort of "car port" for my planter, grain wagon(s) and a few other impliments, but even that is a long shot. The tractors go inside for the winter and I just crawl around them.
