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.

Yes, the windshield is cracked (junk) and I did cut back the rubber so the new seal will run past the paint line.
I had to stop myself from doing too much body work. Not that kind of project. Attached thumbnail(s)
