I painted my spit in my garage. Lined the walls with clear plastic "drop
cloths" hung on grommets- I can set up and paint again in a day or so. Had
the car prepped as I could get it, and took a bucket of water and wet down
the floor prior to spraying. Used a two-part polymer paint and shot three
coats of slow-drying clear over the finish-with no wet sanding of the color
coats. Took about 8 hours. Only mistake was the use of "slow drying"
clear-allowed dust to settle on the finish. USE A RESPIRATOR. and throwaway
plastic coveralls, goggles and old hats, etc. theres lots of advice on the
'net. Check the SOL homepage, etc.
Do it Yourself, and save.
