Burned $150 on a cheap paint booth filter setup at my garage in Phoenix

Picked up a budget booth filter kit off Amazon thinking I was saving money. First job with it painted a Mazda hood and the overshot landed everywhere. Had to wet sand the whole thing and respray. Took me an extra 4 hours. Anyone else found a filter brand that actually works without bankrupting you?

Tried stacking two of those cheap filters together once and ended up just clogging both of them faster if I remember right.

I remember a buddy in Tucson mentioning that Grizzly brand filters actually catch overspray better than the cheap no-name ones. He said the extra $40 was worth it to avoid his paint landing on everything in a two car radius. Might be a solid middle ground between Amazon junk and the pro stuff.
