Default Painting takes over my shop

I can't seem to deal with the painting process. When I'm building, I can keep things pretty well organized. A cutting and shaping area, a framing area, and an assembly area. The attached photo isn't staged. It's just how my shop looks after a few days of painting. Paint and paint related stuff cover every square inch of horizontal space. How do you organize this process? I clearly don't do it very well.

I set up a separate area in my garage for painting. I have a wood cabinet I keep
all the painting "stuff" in. I put a box fan in the widow and suck the fumes, and
even a lot of the over spray out the window.

Don't do this if your neighbor's house is a few feet away....and he works for the EPA.

My model building area is too cluttered to paint in anyway.

Well, it looks just right to me, or should I say that both of my building areas are a match to
yours. I have not done much painting yet; so you are way ahead of me in this area. Just what are you storing in the frig, or should I visit and find out?
