I’ll be honest, I’m tempted to vote for others’ builds too- yours for sure!

The plan for paint is to build an enclosure around the car with 4mil plastic- basically a little spray room. The overhead door will be open and exhaust fans will pull the air out while fans on the other side will bring air in.

Before I had my exhausted spray “room” that’s what I did and it was pretty effective. Plastic on the floor is key though!

I have a pretty nice HVLP system with an inest awata gun and feel that if I can get the gun dialed for paint as opposed to the varnish I normally spray it *should* cut down on the amount of sanding I need to do. The reality is that I’ll probably be doing a lot of sanding one way or another.

Seeing Gabe’s work on the Avocado helps build confidence but I’ll be honest; I’m still pretty anxious about it.
