Are you using spray cans?

In my experience spraying outdoors is great because you don't have to worry about dust so much. If you are using lacquer spray cans and the weather is good (as it almost always is in Oz) the paint is touch dry by the time you get inside anyway.

I just find a nice shady spot out of the wind, make sure the surface is clean and dust free and go for it. It is also good to make sure you have a good view of the surface of the model. By that I mean you can see how the paint is going on so and adjust the cans movement accordingly.
