I'm a painter so, please don't do it in the yard, too much debris even if it's calm. Try it in a garage and make a simple & cheap booth box out of PVC pipe and clear plastic. Use a box fan on one side of the booth and few fans to push out the fumes in the garage. Also, wear a mask. Lacquer takes too many coats to cover, then you'll have a lot of sanding & rubbing. Enamel is your best bet and it's fairly hard. And, there's no need to use a clear coat. Make sure you choose the best reducers/hardeners for the current air conditions. I use my simple booth for painting my 1/4 scale remote control toys, and anything that needs painting around the house. It's very simple, cheap, clean and easy to assemble & take down. There is no need to glue any joints either.

If you have any questions or want more photo's, let me know.
