Thank you, I appreciate it.
I have shot most of my projects in a shop my friend owned. It was really a large garage that wasn't exactly the best environment for painting. I really didn't do much to get it ready for paint except clean the floor very well and of course wet it down to keep any dust from ending up in the air and on the paint. I would also lay plastic over anything you didn't want to get overspray on and I would set up a couple box fans near the door to keep the air flow going. I know there are usually body shops that will rent out their booths on the weekends or when they aren't in use for a reasonable price. I would recommend doing that so you have a good clean area to lay down your first paint job. Also you will have much less debris in your paint meaning the cut and buffing process will go much smoother for you.
