[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16949116, member: 70025"] Yeah, after all my body work was done I cleaned my garage floor really well. The car was already off the ground and on 4 jack stands. So, I brought the hose in and rinsed the floor down. My 2 car garage is "normal" size. So, I hung plastic from 3 of the 4 walls to the floor (left the garage doors bare). I then placed plastic over the entire floor (cut out around the jack stands). I ran plastic from the bottom of my car (pinch welds) to the plastic on the floor and taped all around so no over spray could get under the car or in to my nicely painted engine bay. I raised one garage door about 4 inches for inlet air. The other door I raised high enough that 3 box fans fit between the door and floor. I ran all 3 box fans on there max setting to use as an exhaust to pull all the over spray/mist out of the garage. Once it was done I just pulled all the plastic out and then after about a week of baking in my garage (normal heat as it get's hot here in TX LOL) I began to cut and buff. There was some trash in the paint (i.e. dust particles), but those come out easy in the cutting process. I didn't get all fancy with building wooden frames or using filters and all that. Just enough to keep over spray off my garage floor and walls and to keep dust down to a minimum while walking around the car to spray and having some type of fan system to keep the air flowing. I did use a paint suit and respirator as well. And you have already seen my results..... Here is a review of an inflatable paint booth as mentioned above. I decided not to go this route. First I did not have an area big enough to put something of this size and second I felt the cost wasn't worth it since I would not be painting other cars. [MEDIA=youtube]-Tgpk6MpCO4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
