Odorless Workflow

[Tedxobj]

Is it possible to have an odorless workflow using acrylic paint, an airbrush and a spray booth with available exit for booth fan/hose?

if it’s odorless you don’t need the paint booth. But having a paint booth will let you use enamel and lacquer.

I would think even if using odorless paints, a spray booth may still help control the dust and overspray settlement in the room.

I don't think any paint is truly odorless at least not at my house, my wife can smell the least of paint fumes. LOL

Pace Peacemaker 24” spray booth. I have it hard vented out the window.  I use it with lacquer spray cans, no complaints.

If you mean craft acrylics then there will be very little if any odor.  As was mentioned, a booth will help control the overspray but unless you vent to the outside you'll still have some paint exiting the exhaust inside your room that will eventually require cleanup.

Even if its odorless I'd use a paint booth to limit the possibility of breathing the fumes.

Ya with acrylic it's basically the particulates you blow outside.While spraying acrylic a simple N95 is really sufficient. But unseen particulates linger in the air for a time, you can find your nose hairs getting stuck so to speak. I get sinus infections easy so I'd rather shoot it into a trash can or booth. A booth will handle that as well as any stink to which there isn't much and very short lived. Simple household cleaning agents are stronger and most women use those and don't say a word about it. Half the time it boils down to what the husband is doing, doesn't much matter what it is but that will disturb them. Acrylics really don't stink,period. But they/women can make a fuss anyway. Although they think nothing of their nail polish for those who use it. I was very fortunate with my wife of 47 years, she loved paint, didn't mind the smell,helped mask mask primed 1/1 cars in my shop when I had it, was an artist herself. so I have 0 complaints but I know some guys pay hell to do anything. In my case the paint bothered me more than her, but not acrylic.

Thanks to everyone for the comments regarding acrylics sprayed into a booth. I'm pretty confident enough that this system will work, so I should be spraying soon.

Thanks again everyone.
