I held the plastic to the ground by tucking it under some 2x4's. I also used a box fan with a/c filters for fresh air and another box fan with more filters for exhaust out the bottom of my garage door.Make sure you wet down the floor of your garage as you paint to help control dust. Like oldwrench said, make sure your water heater, dryer or any other source of ignition is either off or removed from the area. Please be a safe as possible when doing this and get a good respirator!!! As far as time goes, it took me a few days to sand the original clearcoat off and then some more sanding after that then even more sanding. lol. I was always going back after I sanded to wash and then re inspect the pieces for places I missed. In one of the pics you can see the bottom of one of the saddle bags still has some shine to it, you don't want that. You want the area as smooth and clean as possible.After I primed, I wet sanded the pieces to get them as smooth as possible before I applied the base and clear coats.Here is a article that I used to get started.....Lots of good information there. <a href="https://www.thegsresources.com/garage/gs_repaint.htm" target="_blank">Click here</a>Here is a link to another project I did with some Dupli Color spray paint...<a href="https://www.northamericangoldwings.com/view_topic.php?id=1883&forum_id=14" target="_blank">Click here</a></blockquote>
