Did you paint it in your own garage? It's damn near impossible to do a garage style paint job and not get dust. I've painted two cars in my garage and the 2nd one I completely plastic'd everything off (ceiling too) and sealed up two fans to the plastic and it did a damn good job side drafting the overspray. I also leave my compressor outside, not in the garage when I paint.

I'm going back and forth on whether I am going to paint my T or not. Right now I am bringing it up to the point where all it will need is masked off and the base and clear shot and I'm going to ask some paint shops what they would charge, if they say over $1,000 dollars I am probably going to do it myself.

Your paint job looks good though, better than my first car paintjob. I didn't shake my gun enough in between passes and my metallic streaked on me on the hood and trunk. That's the bugger about paint, hours and hours of perfection can be ruined in one split second.
