Sorry to chime in late here.
You need to pick up some tack cloth's (as another poster had mentioned), which is basically a thin cloth that has been saturated with a mild adhesive to pick up dust. You also need to pick up a pre-paint cleaner (Eastwood sells one called just "PRE" I think), but any auto paint store should have it. Basically it's windex for for cars, it cuts oil and grease and other solvents that might mar the job.

If it's been sitting for a while since you painted it, or if you've sanded it since then, I would probably hit it with some compressed air (outside of your painting area) then wash it to get all the dust off, and dry it with a cloth/chamois/whatever (to keep from leaving water marks). Then let it dry, and hit it with the pre-cleaner and tack cloth before painting again.

As I'm sure you've found out, the actual painting is only about 5% of the time that goes into a job.

Looks good man, keep going.
