So i've been telling myself that i'll be spraying my car in a rented booth, however i've laid down primer at least 10 times so far in the past couple months, and I havent had a single bit of contaminate land in the paint..

I plan on installing a couple of roof fans in the garage for ventilation purposes (Going to do this anyways).

The garage is pretty clean and no frills, I would obviously give it a total cleaning prior to spraying and have a ventilation system (Maybe even lay plastic on the walls, but it would only take me 20 minutes to completely empty out the main garage area so maybe just wash down the walls with water?)

If I did it this way I could spray the body, spray the hoods, targa top, all the little pieces without rushing myself at all.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The plus side is I wouldnt have to physically move the car to and from the paint booth. Not to mention saving money that could go to the new tires I desperately need..

Thanks!
Andrew
