I am finally ready to top coat my 65 Mustang Fastback and I am wondering how I should proceed. I am spraying in my garage which seems to be perpetually dusty and this is only my second paint job. On my first project I sprayed bc/cc. I thoroughly cleaned the garage and the car, and masked off all the walls of the garage. I'm not sure where the dust was hiding but I sprayed 2 coats of base and noticed it had quite a bit of dust on the horizontal panels. So I let it set overnight, wet sanded the dust nibs, thoroughly recleaned the car and garage, sprayed another coat of base, then 4 coats of clear. It turned out pretty well but I still had some problems with dust in the clear. I cut and buffed it which fixed most of the problem, but there was still some noticeable dust in the paint. For this project I am planning on using SPI black and I'm trying to decide whether to go with single stage or bc/cc. So my question is, would it be better to use single stage or bc/cc when spraying in a dusty environment? Are there any advantages to either option? Also, any tips for controlling dust while spraying? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
