	Note to self; Halfords Value 1-man Dome Tent (£14.99) does not make a suitable spray booth. Painted my spare rims a fortnight ago and my 'genius idea' turned out to be 'stupid'. With little-to-no extraction, the paint (and following lacquer) just clouded up inside the tent, dried out in the air and then fell back down onto the wet paint. Result - finish like a badger's backside. I've flatted them back again, and might have a change of heart on the colour. They're going on a Signal Red 190E and if I'm honest I fookin' hate cleaning 15" 15-holes. Please learn from my 'experiment'!

	Hmm, a couple of mates have sprayed cars in big tents and not had that problem (and the tent acted as a bit of an oven helping to bake the paint as well)

	There's something really satisfying about that first picture.

I had hoped that it would settle quicker, and even tried wetting down the floor inside the tent, but it didn't help. Lesson learned! I've seen guys paint cars under big tents (well, more like EZ-Ups with sides on) and it seems to go well as long as there is plenty of room all around the car, and proper extraction. I had none, so it's my own fault...
