From that pile on the floor I'd say you're working on the wrong sheet metal!

this is just me but, before I started blowing color I would at least put down some plastic on the floor, when paint goes on
it's like it's electric charged and the dirt is attracted to it, it will help keep out some of the dust.

also when you pick the spot your gonna shoot if you can put a box fan on the floor blowing out of your "booth"
the then somewhere up high in the opposite corner cut a hole and put some furnace filters, this will kinda make a
down flow is will suck the floating dust down to the floor instead of up in the air.

the more fans you have blowing out and the more filtered air coming in the better.
