cadman Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I am going to be spraying some reel parts with Createx paints along with Wicked colors. I am new to this so I am reading a lot of info about overspray safety along with watching a ton of videos on You Tube. Maybe I am overthinking all of this but do you guys use one. Do you use a respirator and a spray booth. If so what brand(s) of each. There are so many brands of smaller spray booths, that after awhile it is very confusing. I don't need a really big spray booth, my parts are small and if I decide to expand I can buy or build something bigger later. I will be spraying the paints in my bedroom and I can vent through a window. All paints are water based, and all clearcoats will be sprayed outside in the garage. Sorry for all the questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Don't believe my bride would approve of me painting in the bedroom. Course ours is so small would have to move something out to have room. Anyway, I wind up slopping something around when doing the painting. For the water based acrilics I usually have an old plastic butter cup or something full of warm water. Makes it easier to keep the brush operating when changing colors or cleaning. Then there is the paint which havn't had much of a problem with, but once in a while have a little oops with it. Worst was shaking black and the lid opened. Acrillics clean up with soap and warm water but that was a mess. Anyway my painting is all done in the garage, have a wood stove so can have it warm enough to paint. Just use a dust mask when painting, clear with d2t. Enough about me. If I had to paint in the house, think I could take an old cardboard box, cut a hole in the back or top that flex dryer tube would fit in, find a small in line fan for the hose, then maybe a cardboard piece to fit a window. fasten the hose to that and done. Something permanent would use wood or metal. With the acrillics think all you need is a dust mask. They dont have the nasty fumes auto paints have. Just the way I would do it. Think you should be safe enough, but no guarentees. Arne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryF2858 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I don't use a respirator, only a dust mask if I have a bunch to paint. If I am doing a bunch that booth has a hose I can vent out the window in the workshop. I use createx water based paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
