Painting dilemma (long). What would you do?
i think its going to be double tough painting without contamination on a dirt floor, even with a tarp. Honestly you may want to look into wrapping the car, the new vinyl is much much more easier to put down, and the older cars dont have the bends and curves that most modern ones have. not to mention the newer vinyl material can give some pretty great results.
just throwing out options, it just sounds like you have alot of things fighting you with painting the car yourself.
personally i prefer painting, but in your situation i would lean more to wrapping. just my .2
