Watching this, I was thinking that what he has that many of us lack is a decent place to paint a car, plus some investment in equipment.
Can you get a decent paint job if you don't have some kind of climate-controlled space, especially in areas with humid climates?

Box fans and filters, a garden hose to wet the floor, and not so great expectations and you’re good to go.

sure can. it's called being a painter. it takes practice, and experience.
I paint in the garage, have done it for years. I've had vehicles in magazines and SEMA. Even sprayed with $9.99 harbor freight paint guns.
It just takes the experience to know how and what to do.
This ranger is well known in the minitruck community, did it right in the garage.

Understood. It's why I can make a nice, shiny solder joint every time compared to the grey, ugly blobs I see other guys make. I've just always found painting very frustrating. It's because I don't understand why it works sometimes and why it can come out looking like crap other times.

go to the TAMCO paint and ORION paint pages on facebook. Both have very talented painters, stock, custom and everything inbetween on those pages. Post up your questions, post some pictures, you'll get lots of info. If you were close to me, id tell you to come over. I'd show you some things, teach you how to spray. It's not hard, just need to know what to look for. And while youre there, we could V8 swap your truck..
