the new will never blend in to the old unless you use a very good quality
fadeout thinners ,and you never spray to the tape edge


as for painting in ur garage make sure you get a good 3m mask while doing it ,wet the floors down well keeps the over spray down ,any kind of heater will do get the room an panel warm as if panel cold the paint wount flow out rite ,and inperfections can be rubbed down with 2000grit an polished back
