Spraying
in a garage does not have to be a limiting factor, at least in terms of
cleanliness. When I spray paint in my garage, I erect a fully enclosed
spray booth made of PVC pipe and the super thin plastic drop cloth.(see
attached) Three box fans in series push filtered air in one end while a
single box fan pulls air out the other. I keep a slightly positive pressure
in the booth while spraying. I am not an expert in paints (I have only
sprayed two stage), but I believe the general consensus is that single
stage is easier to repair while the two stage yields a richer finish.

[An alternative method is to only use the box fans to
blow filtered air into the booth and provide enough exhaust filters so the
outflow can happen unassisted and allow positive pressure inside the
booth. Typical paint booths keep the fan motors well away from the
enclosed booth's atmosphere... you can imagine how explosive all those teeny
paint particles could be if they were set off by a spark from a fan
motor. FWIW. <Marv>

Remember to wet the floor with water and walking around won't raise any
@$#$@^$$ dust.
