Who painted their Cobra themselves ??

I did it my self and yes it is messy and probably stupid to do. I think I crapped red paint for two days and I used a respirator.

The main thing the pros have is a $50k plus downdraft paint booth that will suck all the bad vapors thru the bottom and feed fresh filtered air into the booth. This helps reduse the vapors and cut down on dust getting into the paint.

If you have a nice day you can paint a car outside with pretty good results. Most people have to wet sand the paint after a few weeks anyway so a few bugs will not hurt too much.

Don't expect a Show car shine in you DIY but with proper preparation and a steady hand you can do it.

The Buzz from the paint fumes will make you tingle for days but I may not out live a three pack a day smoker now.
