pick an enclosed area to paint in, spend several hours cleaning it, and hose the walls and floors down so its wet while youre painting to stop dust and overspray from rising and settling on the paint.

Spend more time prepping than anything, prep work is really the determining factor in how well your paintjob is gonna look, do a shoddy job sanding and youll get shoddy results. Just take your time.

Your best bet is to find a shop that will rent out a paint booth to you, some do it for between 60-80 bucks a day if they dont need it. otherwise use your garage after extensively cleaning it.

Prep sand everything with a red scotchbrite pad,then use prep sol on the whole surface followed up by a tack rag to get rid of the dust.I would try to rent a booth.I only pay around $50 locally and it really makes a difference.Otherwise, pick a wind free day to do it in.
