The room I'm working in is a single stall, but has filtered fans for air flow in/out when spaying so it sort of doubles as a cross flow booth. I'm using a 3M half face resperator, paint suit, goggles, gloves, and head sock. I'd like to get a full face supplied air resperator eventully, but I'm not spraying very often right now, and the current set up is working pretty good. I'm using a Sata KLC RP primer gun with a 2.5 tip, and a Sata Jet RP Digital 2 with a 1.3 tip for base/clear. I've got a homemade air drier for the air lines in the stall.


Here's a list of the products I'm using.

PPG DX572 and DX520 metal cleaner/conditioner.
PPG DPLF40/90 for bare metal.
SEM self-leveling dual mix epoxy seam sealer.
SEM standard dual mix epoxy seam sealer.
3M Platinum body filler.
Slick Sand.
PPG K93 tintable surfacer/sealer.
PPG/Omni basecoat. Bad decision, sprays and lays down well, but doesn't cover as quick.
PPG 2021 Clear.
3M wetordry 1000 & 2000 grit for wetsanding the clear.
Over-reduced black basecoat as guidcoat for clear coat wetsanding .
Meguiars' Unigrit 2500 grit.
Norton Wool Pad with 3M Machine Polish
Norton Fine Foam Pad with 3M Machine Polish
Griot's Garage Orbital Buffer/Foam Pad/#3 Polish
