Firstly, would you PLEASE stop posting upside down and failing to trim?
There is a helpfile in my sig.

I have made up a spray booth inside my garage with steel wire "rails" and
tarpaulin sheets which can be drawn like curtains. I use bulldog type clips
to hold the corners together. The dust can be minimised by hosing the
curtains down and allowing to dry. The paint seems to stick well to the
tarpaulin so there are no bits of paint floating about the place.

Yellow seems to be a magnet for insects, I sprayed the Kitten's bonnet
outside and within seconds. it was awash with greenfly like you have never
seen! The same happened when I put another panel outside to harden off.

Of course the things would be somewhat ruined by using it for spraying but
could be an easy alternative to masking up the whole garage! Does it already
have sides? Then again if it's the type that has a frame and separate cover
you could just use the frame and some polythene and duct tape to fashion a
disposable cover - ahhh duct tape, now we're talking engineering!
Just excuse me whilst I disappear into flights of fancy .........

I've often wondered about the viability of putting together a temporary
spray booth out of 2x4 and polythene sheet. You need ventilation, but
if you leave a gap at the bottom of the structure you'll get that while
still stopping most of the dust and insects. Is there some reason
why this is a lousy idea?

I've often thought this could be a good idea, with those garden gazebo
things pretty cheap and big enough to get my Vitesse (or parts the body)
inside I thought I'd try one of those, with some polythene sides and a
sheet

I have such a gazebo, which is actually big enough to get any car under
and is complete with sides. Paid about £90 for it from the cash & carry.
Never tried spraying in it (I do have a reasonable garage), but I would
think it's possible. The only issue I would have is that they are not
happy if it's windy - but then you wouldn't spray in those conditions
anyway.

I guess I was just lucky then or chose the right time of year.
I gave up on ideas of masking off part of the garage and sprayed the
car (in yellow!) outside, damping down the surrounding area first to
reduce the risk of dust. Unless you have a good sized garage or barn,
the extra space provided by working outside may well outweigh the risk
of insects or dust. In my experience, the risk of damage to the paint
by dragging the airline across it is far greater if working in a
confined space.

Even in a professional spray painting environment the air hoses can

still be a real problem, Especially when using a pressure feed system
which uses two hoses (one for the paint delivery and the other for air).

This happened to me while spraying a Rolls Royce at their factory when a
hose become trapped in the sluice grid and the whole vehicle had to be
re-worked after a powerful jet of paint shot across the boot, roof and
bonnet just as I was finishing the last few strokes across the boot.

With the pressure feed system you're constantly pulling and yanking at
the hoses just to keep them at bay and because a hose got caught in the
grid turned into an expensive rectification.
