Wasted $300 on a cheap paint booth filter setup

I thought I was being smart buying a off-brand paint booth filter kit online for $300 instead of the name brand one for $600. After three jobs the filters were already clogged and letting dust through, ruined a $1500 paint job on a customer's classic Mustang. I had to strip it down and start over, costing me double in time and materials. Anyone else learn the hard way that cutting corners on filtration just ain't worth it?

Dude $300 for a filter setup and it let dust through after three jobs? I'd be livid, that's almost worse than no filter at all.

Yeah that's rough. At that price it should at least make it through the first season.

Man that is seriously frustrating, I feel your pain.
