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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
