    So you just vent it all outside? Any problems with fumes/smell/neighbors/etc? Do you put some kind of filter on the outside too?

    Where I live, I can see them all lining up to file a complaint with city hall I start fumigating everyone...

    For the exhaust side the furnace filters won't work, they are not designed to trap overspray. Personally I don't want one neighbor to complain about the odor because I don't want to do anything dangerous to my neighbors, and don't want to be on the state radar and have to fully comply with the law from then on.

    I used cut to fit AC filter on the exhaust fan. http://www.homedepot.com/p/NaturalAi...2436/203143924

    Worked great, cut down on the overspray going out side by 90%. One time I painted without a filter and the overspray going outside was horrible. Only problem with using a filter is it clogs fast, I had to install a new one after every 5-6 quarts of spraying paint or clear coat.

    As far as paint fumes go, I guess it all depends on how close the neighbors and family are to the exhaust.
    Here is double the amount of the that homedepot furnace filter for 20% less.

    First part I cut and buffed I burned through to the epoxy on a 3 inch section at one of the corners. What's the best way to fix it? Thanks!

    What are you using to buff it? I think low-speed buffer is best.

    Is your paint single stage? Since it doesn't look metallic, I wouldn't think it would be BC/CC.

    Did you not have enough paint on it, or did you make a mistake with the buffer?

    Regardless, the way you fix it is to start fresh with primer as needed, base as needed, and clear as needed. Or single stage instead of base/clear. You'll need to blend each to what's there. Some googling should give you some help on blending technique.

    Cut and buff is a lot of work. So happy with how straight my panels look, was worth all the hard work.
