Hello, I have a place at the jersey shore and I want to spray paint some outdoor furniture, but it's ALWAYS WINDY and I'm racking my brain to concoct something that all the spray paint doesn't go on my neighbors house and/or car. I want something that I don't have to build or make cause I have no place to store anything. Please HELP! ;)

Is there a spot - maybe between your house and a fence - that allows you ample room to spray? If so, you could tape up plastic sheeting around the sides, leaving the top open for ventilation and do your own "booth." If not, you could use PVC pipe to construct a booth.

I would try to put up a tarp on both sides even if for a temporary situation taped to both side of a portable table.

My problem wasn't so much wind, as the random Florida sun showers that would splotch up my work. I picked up a cabana tent that is perfect for small jobs and takes up very little storage space. Search ebay "Quick Stability Cabana Beach" for a new one for <$25

I've used a large cardboard box as a wind break. Depending on how big of an item you're spraying you could try this. I usually lay down newspapers or plastic sheeting, put the box up and then get to spraying!

Contact a local appliance store and see if they have any appliance boxes. They make perfect temp spray paint huts
