When I first got my truck I had no garage and purchased a tent cove similar to this, Its fine to help keep the rain out when you doing a tear down like I did. The covers do get sun damaged over time but that depends on the kind of material and how thick it is will determine the life of the top cover. I see people us it as a spray booth but add a tarp floor to help seal out the dirt and debris. But usually you might need something a little bigger so you are not crowded in.

I had one until my neighbors complained about it. It was great to keep the truck or car dry and out of the sun, but I wasn't near big enough to use as a spray booth. I believe you can find them bigger, and if it were on a slab it might work well enough. You might have to make some doors for it or at least close it in with openings for a fan and filters on the other end.

I can highly recommend ShelterLogic. We use one for our shelter of golf carts at our campground. We have one shelter that has spent 8 years outside and withstood high winds, snowloads, etc. Couple of key things though: Material thickness is key. Shelterlogic makes good shelters, while some other manufacturers aren't the best. For example, Harbor Freight sells one that I wouldn't use to cover firewood. Also, keep any zippers lubed with pb blaster. The zippers do go bad on these shelters if they aren't used for awhile. Lastly, make sure you anchor this shelters. I actually placed my setup on top of 4X6 pressure treated lumber and fastened the whole thing down with tubing clamps. I then placed patio pavers down for a nice floor. It makes the whole setup stronger and sits a little higher. Then I ran a 4' shop inside for lighting. Good luck and enjoy!

I painted my frame in a King Canopy 10' x 20', and had less than a couple of feet at each end. And again, that's without a rear bumper.
The 15' would work I guess, but you might need to protect the nose and top of the bed from abrasive contact with the canopy material.
If you just need more garage space, bring it to my house. I have plenty of room and will take REAL good care of it for you. I'll even take it out for some exercise from time to time.
