You would not do that in the are I live in it would be covered in tiny little flying insects. They are just awful and will destroy a paint job in minutes.

I have a cheap Amazon collapsable paint booth as we get deeper into bug season….

Hi, just a quick question ... are you using a HVLP or a LVlP gun and more importantly, what brand...just going to start building my new Pilatus P6 and will try doing a good paint job.

Hi Bill, apologies for the delayed reply. I'm using a Devilbiss Startingline HVLP spray gun.

Don't forget to use parchment paper when heat smoothing.
