Trying to do this on the down-low at home.
Got a T-3 Squareback I wanna paint. Everythings off, so I can do this in little sections/jobs. Is there a type of gun that doesn't create the cloud of toxic paint over the house? Low pressure gravity feed? Any advice would be most helpful! I've painted a few cars in my life. Some of them even turned out really nice. So the prep and painting isn't an issue. Just the neighbors.

With car on jack stands, I raised the garage door up a couple of feet, rigged up a plastic curtain and a fan under the car.
Fan created a downdraft to suck air down and blow out through the bottom of the door. Fumes didnt hit the fan cause it was under the car and the cloud wasn't too thick. YOU WILL NEED A RESPIRATOR! Smell wasn't too bad during the process and it dissipates quickly. I did find that the car itself smelled for a few weeks after it was painted. That turned out to be a bigger problem... |
