Bobby,
My experience with what you describe is that unless there is an
automatic shut-down of the painting equipment when the doors are
opened,then the room in which the paint booths are located becomes a
part of the paint booth and requires the same level of protection.Even
though paint booths today are built with rated enclosures,one can still
pull a hose through the door and spray outside the booth.This
requirement came from the AHJ on 2 jobs I was involved with where auto
repairs and auctions took place.

I have a project I am bidding - the facility has 2 fully enclosed
paint
booths under roof. They are calling for .40/entire area in each booth
and
.15/1500 at the roof throughout the facility (paint storage and other
hazards are in separate rooms attached to the outside and protected at
the
appropriate hazard). Can the area over the paint booth at the roof be
.15/1500 as the rest of the roof systems or would this need to be
greater?
There is no wall to the ceiling at the booth it is open to the
remainder of
the facility.
Thank you,
