Yeah, not the best of options spraying outside, but this was only primer which will be block sanded anyways. I did have to thoroughly wipe everything down with wax and grease remover one last time after I mixed the primer. Once I finished cleaning the gun, I looked everything over and found one bug knee deep in the dried paint. I had hopes of getting the cab in primer as well but a heat wave rolled in... 97* this afternoon, and I thought that would have affected the job for the worse. I'll git after it in the morning.

When it comes time for final paint the plan is to use my enclosed garage at the least. I'm also thinking of renting a booth if I can find one.
