My $2,400 spray booth filter setup failed on a Tuesday, and I still say the cheap pads are better

Last Tuesday I was spraying a pearl white bumper on a 2019 Camry and my intake filters let a bunch of dirt straight through, cost me a full reshoot and about 3 hours. Everyone keeps telling me to buy the big pleated brand, but I ran cheap 20x20 furnace pads from the hardware store on 9th for two years and never had this problem. The $68 a month I was spending on those fancy ones bought me nothing but a headache. What is everyone else running in their booth, because I am about ready to go back to the stupid cheap ones.
