Then in the garden I spray the primer, then back in the garage to smooth again and again.
Finally the car goes to the auto body shop for final spraying.
I do not have the equipmet to do perfectly this last job.

Great observation. I painted three cars outdoors back in the day when I did not have a garage. One came out nice. One had tiny insects that were not detectable to the eye until they landed on wet paint. One looked great but overnight there was a hard frost, giving the car an interesting velvet matte appearance. When I finally established an indoor location I discovered the value of good ventilation and N95 respirators. The plan to use a professional shop for the final spraying has high merit.

Over the years I have restored many vehicles. I did all the body and prep work in the garage. When it came to painting I would move it out to a "portable" style garage. and paint it there. It helped keep the dust and bugs away. Painting it in the garage wasn't going to happen, due to the overspray.

I also thought about this portable garage solution. it is likely that I will put it into practice for the next works

After seeing the great threads for the XF and F type, I thought we needed a similar one to just post your pics on! Before, during, or after mods, painting, or just plain great pics of your cars!! It's would also be fun to see a few with the proud parents of our cars in the pics too!! Anything interesting with your car in the pic!
It's always fun to run across the occasional photo in a thread but this one is just for our photos!
Maybe if it goes well, it can be a sticky! It would be a great place to remember former and lost members before its too late, as well as the new owners to come!!
