You can make a spray booth out of PVC and plastic sheeting with a box fan or two with home AC filters on them. Just build it panels so you can take it apart when not using it.

Use a respirator.

my father and i painted my truck in the driveway, with tree cover. we used a urethane primer, toyota tacoma "speedway blue" (matalic pearl blue) and clear coat. it turned out really nice, with only a few small drips and insects



heres how it looked back in the summer.



i have to touch up a few tiny spots after this winter, rust is begining to come through. salt

Its a house of kolors paint, paint code is for 84-88 toyota true blue..i can get the code if you would like it...applied using a gravity feed gun and 80 gal compressor, It also a single stage so after your body work and primer, you spray...its got the clear coat that is mixed in

I can't believe that I wnt through all of this and I haven't posted my paint pics...

Shame on me...

Color Your World Rust Paint - Their version of OD Green - too light in my opinion

Painted with a Walmart/Campbell Hausfield Siphon feed and a 2Gallon Campbell Hausfield HD Twin tank 2HP comp in my back yard!







Pay no attention to the date stamp - it was the first time my wife used her new camera! It wasn't set up yet!
