Got it sprayed today. It is baking right now at 85*. It turned out great! 
I'll get some more pics when I pull it out into the sun. The bottom is still in primer because its getting black Line-x. I did get a run in the drivers door & I missed 2 very small dents, but I am very happy with the results. I was surprised that there isn't much dust, guess the jumper cables from my body to a ground rod I pounded into the fllor worked.
