I watched a video as well. One guy complained of sweating so much he dripped it on the paint. Also looks like there is a lot of clean-up involved of over-spray which is increased by a general lack of airflow. He did paint a full size pickup in black base coat though. You will have some of that but you don't need it in the clear coat so probably hose-downs between paint types.

Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSiRKpgzzdM Audio is poor but discernible.

Can you tell us what you have available to work with? Guessing you don't have a big shop but neither do I. I have a 15 foot width. I do not have a concern with paint dust getting on my toolbox or keyboard - that makes life easier.

I will paint this 65 Intl pickup right where it's sitting. Fan at the door blowing out. Lowest body panel is two feet off the ground so that's cheating a little. HVLP, quiet warm/hot day and a clean gun. A 911 is half the trucks size.

Before I spray the single stage with hardener I will clean with the focus more on the truck than the shop. Dust on the tables is not going to reach the truck spraying only 25-30 psi. I'll wet down the floors.
