Looks good nice work

Not a fan of the home spray booth. Car paint is for the spray booth. In my area you can rent a booth, its much safer for everyone.
Don't mean to be negative like said car looks real nice.

For me making a home garage booth is my only option also, i like what you did. I also have open rafters and am going to try to make a booth one of these days for the wagon. This is great inspiration. What are you using for a gun, air filtration, etc? I have a hell of a time keeping what i believe are dust specs out of my paint, They wet sand out but it really bugs me. A true paint booth would solve my problems i think.

I use a devilbiss filter/water seporator and a disposable plastic filter at the gun. I used a sata 2000 rp with a 1.4 tip for sealer, a sata 3000 hvlp with a 1.3 tip for color, and a iwata lph400 with a 1.4 tip for clear.

No booth rentals here. Hell, I work at a body shop and I am not allowed to use their booth!

Other than some emblems, it's done.
