sorry just my own
What do you use for a booth? What paint do you use?
I used "restoration shop paint" and "Speedokote Premium High Solids Clear Coat" Painted it in my garage.

Did you make a temporary garage booth with a PVC frame and plastic sheets? Why spray base and clear when the color is not metallic?

I've done both, and I enjoy spraying 2 stage more then single stage. I just put plastic up around the garage. Single stage is more heavy and very easy to get runs in.

I don't paint at night time or dusk. Dust... as long as your garage is really clean, most will come out after cutting and buffing. (no wind on paint day)

Did you practice on a junk car to learn? Are there content creators you recommend?

A couple years back I was really thinking getting into trying body work. Bought a bunch of stuff including those durablocks. Got like 2 boxes of different sizes and different sand paper grit rolls. Recently I been thinking about attempting it again but I guess practicing on something small like a fucked up fender and try to do every step on it. Did you try straight on your cars or panels? I’ve watched many videos on YouTube on my lunch time and I THINK I have an idea on how to tackle things.
