When you painted your vette did you paint it in your garage? If yes what kind of gun did you use? Did you use any kind of exhaust fan? We are thinking about doing this next year and could use all the help we can get.

Thanks
Janet

I would like to know the answer to this as well. What preparations did you go through to get set up in the garage to do the painting?

I just painted my car a month ago. I had a fresh air blower and an explosion proof exhaust fan. A friend of mine just uses a fresh air blower and opens his garage windows for exhaust. Overspray will be everywhere so remove what you dont want from the garage. Put as many lights as you can around. [IMG][/IMG]

Yes I did in my garage. put rosin paper on the floor to keep over spay down, then hung plastic sheeting from ceiling. I have a 3 car garage and secitioned off two of them. Had a couple of hole in the ceiling to let air in and cut slits in the walls to keep it from pulling in. I used three box fans for exhaust with filters on them ,change the filters every half hour.
I used a Defilbuss 9000 gun.
Hope this helps.
