How Bad is it
Hey all,
I have a C10 that I want to paint BUT
No place to do it.
How bad would it be to shoot a car/truck out side??
would it turn out like crap?

Yes, plus you could end up with a $1,000,000.00 fine form the EPA and up to 5 years in jail!! Talk to some of the smaller body shops in your area and see if one wil rent you their booth for the day.

Other than being illegal as all hell yes you can.
As mentioned see if you can find a bodyshop that will rent their booth to you.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but the EPA regulates business, not individuals at their home. Hence why you can put almost anything in your trash at home, but a lot of those items would be "hazardous waste" if they came from a business.

I,d at least do it under a carport or equivilent roof. It takes good timing & luck for the weather conditions & bugs. you can hose things down for a ways out around your work area to keep down dust. I painted my tailgate & bedcover under an outside roof at work a few years ago late summer during a light misty rain that settled the nearby road construction dust & had near dry to touch as bugs started to come out. Painted my hood, fenders & fascia under my carport a couple of nights near midnight just before last years March daytona spring show.Rest of vehicle I sprayed years earlier in a professional booth.While this is a good example that a decent job can be done without proper conditions, it ain't easy & does factor in luck. PS,I also have good buffing skills.
