I just finished my own DIY disposable paint booth today. I call it disposable because it is just a cardboard box with add-ons and if it gets too grimey I will just pull my fans a light and get a new and improved box!
This is the box I started with. I work at an auto parts store and it is a heavy duty cardboard box that antifreeze comes in.
These are the two fans I used. They both came out of an old computer and are brushless 12V fans.
I traced the outer edge of the fans to know where to cut the holes.
Then I cut the holes inside the traced lines. I wasn't concerned with having the fans flush mounted as the box will probably eventually be replaced. I taped the edges of the fans down to get a good seal and hold them in place.
This is the light I mounted in the top. It is a 12V LED light. I choose this one because the fans are 12V as well so I can work from one power source.

I used steel wire to build a frame for the filters to sit on.
I used an old pair of socks for the filters.
Here it is all set up with the Monte Carlo I am working on in it. I made the stand as well with a steel plate, solder, steel wire and aligator clips.
It works really well and I did not spend a dime using stuff from around the house/work. I would recommend a build like this to anyone as it is super easy and works really well. Hope you enjoyed my build!
