Looking great.

looking at the floor where the trestles are, do you not have a dust problem, or is this just the hardening area for paint?
It's not the ideal place to paint until concrete is in, but I haven't had an issues with the dirt floor yet. The barn is still open front and that's biggest issue I have to deal with, so I have to watch the weather and the wind especially. Normally I place plywood on the floor, and I place paper under parts to paint. Extensive dusting prior to paint and I normally also wet the floor to eliminate any dirt flying up, but the hood is several feet off the ground. (hard to tell in the pics). I do carry a rag to wipe the hose off as I'm working too, but so far the paint has remained around 98% free of any trash. Was also around 90* yesterday, so coats were drying quick. And lots of tack rags in between coats.

I did have one weed seed that blew in yesterday about 15min after final clear coat that stuck to the clear. Hoping it'll come out when I buff.

Concrete will be done hopefully this winter and then I won't have to worry about it.
