Is a paint booth totally necessary?

If someone wanted to paint just a single item like a bumper cover, etc, could they still achieve excellent results if it's not done in a paint booth?
I'm sure there are precautions that could be taken to alleviate dust, etc.

I've heard of guys painting show winning jobs in their yards, but if you don't have much experience, if any at all, you'll want to take all precautions. If you've never painted before, the use of a paintbooth is highly encouraged.

I bought a cheap tent, covered the windows with filter paper, and attached my shop vac to the last window. Hung some plastic drop cloth inside with spring clamps and put a couple of flourescent drop lites inside. Made a great paint booth and wound up with a fun tent for the kids when I was done.
