**depends how you want your car to look and in your paint. I honestly sprayed that car in my garage.. i also clean the shit out of it before spraying.. Car barely had dust in the the clear since i kept the floor wet the whole time thru the process along with other things i did to the garage. The hood got all the dust for some reason. No where else, didn't care since the hood was being swapped for a j's racing hood.. Booths are nice to spray in since there fully lighted, ventilated, etc. since i don't have a garage anymore. i have to get a booth**
