Looking good - can't wait till I'm at that stage!

What you've done with the plastic and fans look's to be pretty much what I had in mind for when I spray. Have much luck with it?

Have a three bay garage and blocked off one bay with a plastic curtain. Bought four cheap Walmart box fans, fifty foot of cheap plastic pvc water pipe, bag each of ninety's and t's, four mil plastic, hot glue gun, cheap furnace filters, built two structures to fit exactly under my ten foot doors, pipe is not glued, press fit, all four blowing out, air conditioner and big window fan blowing in, taped up all cracks and holes, especially over garage doors when they are partly open, maybe $120.00 total for build, "WORKED GREAT". All walls and floor covered in four mill plastic. Clean up took all of fifteen minutes. Anyone can do this, just takes a little time and planning.
Thanks,
Norm

GM color, not sure what year. PPG Deltron 4022. Has a ton of pearl in it. My cost was thirty dollars an ounce. Total price for my materials, sealer, paint, clear, was $1400.00
This is not a cheap hobby.
Thanks,
Norm

Love the color. That's going to look like a million bucks! I bet it turns out great. You are obviously not one to cut corners based on the pictures and your descriptions of you prep work. Looks like a good recipe for any garage painter to follow.
