I know exactaly what you mean. But my wife won't let me spray color anymore. The last time I sprayed a car I used a 2 stage poly-urathane. Unlike lacquer that will dry in the air before it setteles to the ground so you can just sweep it up, the poly had a hardner that you put in the clear. The garage floor was red for years and the house stunk for days. Oh well, kinda worked out for me, shoot the primer and have a pro do the color. Good luck on the paint job.

Dark Blue exterior with the Light Blue Interior.  Sweet momma, I can't waite to get the ride here and completed, after 30 years of looking. After the car gets here, I'll bet my wife won't even see me til it's done.
