Spray painting your car outside??

[juki86]

I sprayed my '63 Impala in our bathroom, but my mother didn't like that smell what hanged in our house next few days...

I spray them in my bedroom with the window open and the bootventilator on. After the spraying I place them in a acrylic storagebox with the lid slightly open. Only setback are the fumes in the house. Mom especially doesn't like it But I won't take it outside or on the balkony because my airbrush doesn't reach that far and most of the time there is a light dusty wind down here to ruin even a primercoat
Use the citadel warhammer black primer most of the time which is quite nice to use.

+1, never a problem.

Believe it or not, there is more dust inside of a house/basement than outside. I always spray outside when i can.

Only time to watch out for is spring when there is a lot of pollen in the air.

But spraying outdoors is the way to go, plus less fumes.

I spray outside and the only problems I have is the odd unwanted/unexpectd gust of wind but I only use paint out of a can so am more affected by this than you airbrush people would be.

By the way, this was a very old thread resurrected by a spammer (no removed)...

I've sprayed outside and have had mixed results.The first model I did came out beautifully,(it was a warm,almost windless,day)smooth and slick like a pro job.Others haven't fared so well due to wind gusts.My yard is situated in such a way that the wind swirls in it,never blowing consistently from the same direction or velocity.The best compromise for outside painting has been to use a large cardboard box,moving it in response to the variable winds and then shielding the model parts when I finish each coat.My garage is windless for the most part but tends to be damp(it's detached) so there's not much benefit in painting in there.My basement is the best compromise though it gets VERY cold down there in the winter or in the summer with the air conditioning on in the house(the cool air pools in the basement) a situation unconducive to getting good results.
