Afternoon,
So it appears there are quite a number of people that would like to have
some
kind of spray area in the space (myself included) and I think we should
probably get around to tackling this properly with a permanent outdoor
structure suited to it.
It has been suggested that something like this galvanised steel shed
would be
appropriate, and for £100 I'm tempted to agree:

Thoughts? I'll happily chuck £20 in for it, or a larger one.

We just came to an agreement with the radio guys about sharing the large shed outside, we will still need money for plastic screening, a fan and filtration.

We have one of those in our garden. They're big enough to move about in
if you crouch, but I think you'd be hard pressed to spray something
bigger than a breadbin in it.
If I needed to spray something properly, it'd be a matter of hanging it
on wire from a fixing and moving around it, spraying it from the proper
distance with sufficient lighting to see coating. That little shed isn't
going to be big enough to get proper spray-gun distances inside, let
alone move around without knocking or moving the suspended object.
There's also not enough room for lighting and the doors will not stop
finish-ruining dust getting inside. The ceiling is also very flimsy,
unable to take any load and will start to let rainwater in if dented
even slightly. Putting a suspending frame inside will further reduce the
free manoeuvring space.
A spray-booth needs ventilation, a dust-free environment, shadow-free
lighting, and hangers capable of a reasonable load.
Sharing the cabin between spray and just about anything else is also not
a good idea to my mind. No matter how well ventilated it is, paint
particles will migrate into and onto anything else stored in there, and
the place will stink.
For £100, we could build a more suitable spray-booth from scratch out of
a few OSB sheets and some scrap wood. Just a square wooden hut with a
ceiling-hook, a HEPA-filtered positive-pressure fan and a breathing snorkel.

Frankly I'd rather buy something like this:
http://www.diytrade.com/china/pd/7138167/Greenhouse_Tent.html
A big clear tent. Doesn't have the support fixtures, but would be large
enough to accommodate a free-standing hanging-rail. Clear, so you can
paint with natural light (since nice members wouldn't be using the
compressor in the car-park after dark, would they?). But most of all
it'd be collapsible, so it could be folded up and stored when not in
use. All it'd need is a filtered fan blowing in a cut hole.
