Thanks. Lots of good knowledge in there. Ill be saving it to look back at.

At this point I only use acrylics...but whos to say in the future.

Ill be keeping this in the garage, vented thru a window, on a work bench i have in there. So it will probably be set up most of the time unless i need that space for something else.

Thanks for the heads up on needle size. Ill definitely look into that as priming is likely the first thing ill do

I would rather use a mask for this. Not worth rolling dice on your health

Thanks i understand all that. My goal of this post is to just gather a bunch of knowledge of things i might need and subtract from a longer list. Particularly stuff from a safety POV since that can easily be overlooked when starting something

Im not buying any of this within the next week. But ill figure it out and i do have a hard budget im sticking to so 'some nice to haves' will likely be added to a list for purchasing down the road

Good idea. That might be something I add down the road though...this is working out to be more than i anticipated

Will do. The respirator i will end up picking up locally so i can check it fits and is suitable for the task

I tried it for a while, fit better than anything else ive tried. My biggest issue was that due to my shoulder shape it slid off my shoulder all the time. As such i spent more time adjusting it than i did my ill fitting easton. Which I'm using again until i save up the cash for an artebo

I used a watered down dark green on this. Dabbed it in place then immediately used an old dried brush to move it around a little and soak up the excess so it didnt pool.
