Can't begin to tell you how many times hubby has come in looking like a big Smurf or ghost fully covered in some color shade/color of sanding dust. Always brings a smile to my face.

Of course, Bob AKA hubby, also paints, and we've been helping him out for years now. So we've got practice. But it depends on how involved you're getting, ie smoothing out deep scratches, fixing dings/dents. Here in the salt belt, a repaint tends to be pretty involved, I don't recall too many that only entailed "just scuffing and respraying."
