Hmm I'm not too good at Pshop but here's my attempt. I don't know what your idea is as far as transitioning and Natalie actually suggested the transition line. You have any other ideas?

I like that. I was going to start the transition at the very front lower edge of the back door, but that is nice to. I was also thinking of a silver hood stripe where the hood dips in, but that is only if we are feeling creative when we spray it. I figure on spraying the silver first, then taping that off and spraying the green. and then I can just clear the whole car together. It will be nice to use my homemade paint booth in a garage bay I have here at the lot. Anyone wana donate some visqueen?

hose the floor down, and keep it wet while painting...that'll suck down all the dust and keep it from kicking back up and spoiling the paint...

Just don't splash the water up onto the paint

wet the floor, and make a booth out of the visqueen. put in two fans and a few lights. That should keep the dust out. Also the nice thing about two stage paint is it can be wetsanded afterwards to get anything that falls in the paint out.
