Okay this post is a little old, but some things to help you. First off, you are going to need as much lighting is you can there is never enough. Some lighting low too, so you can see the lower sides of the car. Also a big fan for good ventilation. Remember there are nasty chemicals in the hardeners in paint, mainly isocyanates. You should do some reading on these so you know what you are dealing with. Too much exposure and they can possibly kill you or ruin your health. They effect everyone different, and the effects are not always immediate. At the very least get as much ventilation as possible and a respirator that fits well with new cartridges and filters. Better is a air supplied respirator but they are not cheap. Another saftey concern is explosion possibility if you have overspray built up. Make sure there are no open flames or pilot lights. Even a spark from the switch on the compressor or lights can be a potential hazzard. Clean the area you are painting in well. Drain the air compressor before spraying and have a moisture trap located at least 25' of line away from the compressor. Also might be best to spray in early morning while bugs are still, At night they are attracted to the lights and will come for a free buzz and a swim in fresh clearcoat. Optimum temperature for painting is around 65-75 degrees with low humidity. Thats all I can think of now. Good luck and practice a lot with some cheap paint so you get use to using the spray gun before using the expensive stuff on your car you spent so much money and time getting ready.
