REFLECTOR: painting fuselage

[Ron Brown]

And you will want to paint toward the exhaust - i.e.. paint with the air 
flow in the paint booth, so that suspended particles either leave through 
the exhaust or at least gets covered up by the fresh paint - as opposed to 
falling onto fresh paint.

And with most of the 2 part paints which contain super glue, you really need 
a supplied air breathing air system - filter masks are not really 
recommended.  Either use a Hobby Air respirator or an oil less compressor 
for breathing air.  It also helps keep you cool while in that full body 
paint suit and hood!
