    gotta getta booth I tell ya!

    Hi Ben,
    you lucked out this time, fizzing paint outdoors without dust, leaves or insects setting down and sticking to the parts.
    Your skills seem OK, stopping the clearcoat before it curtains is something I find hard to do but you have managed. Your gear must be OK too, to get the results you show. But the weather! It's beyond your control. Like I said 7 posts back, build a simple temporary paint booth. 2x2s with transparent builders plastic stapled over is all you need. A $5 garage-sale cylinder vacuum cleaner (the nozzle is outside, the cleaner is inside venting filtered air into the booth) will supply positive air pressure. Plus a good breathing mask. Those paint fumes are lethal.
