    Paint Booth

    Wall off a booth area. Clear plastic and 1x wood works great. Cut a couple holes in the "interior" non -door end and tape in some furnace filters. Run plenty of fans in the door. Negative pressure will keep the fumes away from your ignition source. Get the booth clean, the car masked and...

    Eastwood body saw

    One of those saws is on my "to get" list. I've used cut off wheels, a sawzall, and an electric jig saw in the past - but those things are great for tight work.
