just remember, if you care.... wetting down your floor not only keeps dust down, it also helps keep it from turning whatever color your spraying! :haha:

if your liberal with the water, the majority of the overspray will wash out pretty easy with a broom and hose afterwards...
 
That I shall be doing!

Ryoken, I'm looking for a respirator. My local lowes/home depot show several options. How do I know if they will be ok for painting? I have tight fitting goggles so I don't need a full face one, just the half mask.

This.
 
in such a small area without paintbooth ventilation you might want to pick up a Tyvek suit too....particularly when you spray clearcoat...that stuff is nasty...and every hair on your body will get coated with it and that just feels weird...and it won't come off...
 
If its at all warm, I sweat like a stuck pig in a tyvec....if you do too take into consideration water dripping out of the suit onto your paint...use a couple papertowels taped around your wrists to help prevent it. I also put a paper towel in my paint mask to keep the moisture from dripping out of the cartridges!
Good luck!
 
Hogs don't have sweat glands, therefore they do not sweat. That is why they roll around in the mud, to cool off.

you haven't observed me in action!
 
Already got my tyveck suit! It's big and white and I look like the marshmallow man! Lol I don't think it will be more than 75* when I paint so should be ok.
 
If you want to be technical the saying is "bleed like a stuck pig". Let's avoid that if possible.
 
Ok, truck is all masked and garage fully wrapped in plastic. Lots of little stuff to do tomorrow to hopefully still spray primer on Thursday.
