I painted mine in a beach tent in the back yard with flyscreen windows that I covered up with the built in window flaps each time I did a pass with the can. The base was suspended off the canvas floor on 100 mm thick scrap pieces of wood. Unfortunately as I was down the road, heavy gusts of wind decided to start and the tent was blown over in my absence. The paintwork was chipped off in four little spots around the left side of the base. I touched them up with a brush dipped into the gold paint squirted into the cap but shows as bright spots in certain light. It still bothers me but it's just not worth it to possibly risk further ruining it by another pass of the spray after months of curing. I'm hoping the height adjustment rod on the left side, which passes near the blemishes, will draw the eye away.
A drop sheet with weights around it will provide a work space almost anywhere.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
