Default Painting Your Airplane in the Hangar?

Try to close up the hanger as much as possible, and force feed makeup air
through some sort of filter. Get creative, a cluser of hardware store HVAC
filters are cheap, maybe a couple dollars a piece, and I have even seen wet
bedsheets used.

Precisely. I've not painted an airplane (well not seriously) but I've
help paint a fire engine with Imron. We were supposed to get access
to a paint booth at a nearby heavy equipment manufacturer but that fell
through so we entirely wrapped the equipment bay with heavy plastic and
blew in filtered air. The result (5 coats of color, 5 coats of clear)
were astounding.
