I taped up a ton of plastic on the walls. The heavy 6 mil stuff from Lowes. Then I got some of the light duty plastic and covered whatever didn't need paint in the middle of the garage. I have 3 box fans. Two are taped up under the garage door with 20 x 20 filters to pull air out and 1 is taped up with a 20 x 20 air filter on the side door to help pull air in. I had to tape every hole, seam, anywhere where dirt could get in. Then I had to clean the garage very well, about three times. And there's still a couple spots in the paint where either dust or bugs found their way in. Most of those cut and buff out but it still aggravates you.
All in all, though, it's still been WAY cheaper than forking it out. One shop quoted me 10K to paint it. I've gone through three gallons of primer, 1.5 gallons of sealer, 2 gallons of color, 2.5 gallons of clear plus reducers, activators, rubbing and polishing compound, etc. Still only cost around 1K, maybe a hair more. I'm trying to cook a steak on a burger budget!
