I was wondering how do you get rid of the paint smell, so its bearable in the house?

First of all, unless you want to kill off a few million brain cells, open a window and get out of the AO. ALWAYS make sure you have proper ventilation when using paint, solvents, glue, etc. I airbrush on the back balcony with the door closed, all windows open, and a fan blowing outside. When I'm assemblying and brush painting, the kitchen window is open and I have a small fan blowing gently (don't want to lose those damn tiny peices). I also take a break every 1/2hr or so (rest eyes, stretch legs, unscrunch back).

Oh...nevermind #:-). I let mine sit out on the balcony for a few days .

One way which is easy is to use acrylics. There really is no smell to it.

Much depends on the choice of paint. Acrylics are better than oil-base paints.
Worst paint I ever tried was a Tamiya spray paint bottle with white primer. Killed all the flies in the street and a few cats and dogs too... !

When using acrylics, you get rid of the worst smell problems. Good ventilation is imporatant too !

Only a few weeks ago, CA glue fumes got into my eye. I have the impression this had a slight negative impact on my eyesight. I'll see my optician in a few months and I'll have it checked. Please be careful with the stuff !!!

BTW, I am planning to buid my custom spray booth. Do you have anny sugestions what material should I use for the filters (that filters that will keep the fumes and paint particles from getting fanned outside)?
