Hey guys!

I´m about to move from a house to an apartment. and have been thinking.

As it is now i´m airbrushing on my work desk, since my work area is in the basement separate from the other rooms. But in the apartment, every room will be on the same floor, with only doors to close between them. Will the dust and fumes get everywhere also with a closed door, even if there is a reasonably big window to open and a ventilation duct in the cieling.

I guess i´m not the only one living in an apartment with this problem, so i thought i should ask for some pointers and experiences.

See ya! // Emil

Need a paint booth if in in doors like that.
To be honest I used to shoot paint right in the house with nothing.
Wife would say God what is that smell.
I don't smell nothing.
Better to do it outside.
I still paint inside but use a home made spray booth.
Plus the A/C vents will suck that stuff up and pass it on.
Paint smell will go everywhere if using an kind of enamel paint.
Hope this helps

Thanks Jeff!

I´ve thouht about paintbooths, but i thought there maybe was some trick like lower pressure or something.

But it seems like i´m in for some serious paintbooth buying/building....hehe

Thanks again for the tip!
