Shane, are you sure that you have to go through the concrete wall of the basement? If the basement ceiling is open (joists visible) you can bore through the sill plate header (centre the hole vertically). A hole saw or jigsaw will work, and if the exterior is brick, a masonry bit in a regular drill will allow you to drill around the circumference of the proposed opening. Then, simply use a hammer to knock out the centre.
You shouldn't have to spend a lot of money to create a spray booth. The base of mine is part of the plywood top of an old table, while the sides and top are 1/8" Masonite. I made all of the corner joints using a length of wall angle meant for a suspended ceiling - simply drill holes and pop-rivet it together. I had most of the other materials laying around the house - total cost was under $5.00, as I recall.
