Mark- Thanks for the experience description. I have been the victim of the low man "volunteering" method too My first compressor powered spraying was about a year later than yours. We used Imron and the shop roof for the work. No mask but learned to stay up wind as much as possible. Ran the air hose down the building's side and into a window and used a big "production sized" DeVilbiss suction gun (the pot was a quart!). Funny how excited one gets when one doesn't know what they are doing...

One of the challenges with a tent is the amount of light or interior brightness, especially if a cloudy day. One of the anticipated advantages of a screen or mesh side wall is the light penetration increase. My 8x8 current tent has solid white walls and canopy for just this reason (and now it is rather dirty and has at least one wall with a sooty torch burn through). As I look at commercially available 10x10 tents that are intended for working inside of (like this one Portable Industrial Work Cube 10' x 10' | E-Z UP ) I see a lot of solid and colored surface, not the best for seeing fine surface details on a frame being sprayed. I really wish I could get an in person look at these things. When i was a kid we had a store for outdoors stuff. They had an entire floor (of the old warehouse building) for camping tents and had one of each set up and assessable. That was cool! Andy
