The one major issue I always have with painting at home is dirt and dust.

I have seen panels painted outside and they come out near perfect, yet my panels inside always seem to get dirt or something trapped in the clear no matter how much I prep the area.

That goes with the territory somewhat. I'm not so concerned with perfection in that regard as I am about overspray and venting. Even if I have someone shoot the base and clearcoat for me, I'll still be priming and blocking it in her garage. So perhaps that will be the test...
