I like to spray paint model kits. Are suited vs the vapor/fume and paint mist?

Yes, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in things like oil- and enamel-based paints, glues, sealers, etc. are exactly the kinds of things that these cartridges are designed to filter out. If you only use your mask and cartridges infrequently, put them into a ziplock bag and squeeze out as much of the air as you can when not in use to prolong the cartridge life.

I spayed latex paint using this filter with a pre filter that is made for it, as the result I could not smell any paint odor, I have not used it while spraying with laquer or enamal.

With a properly fitted / sized mask, these filters should do the job perfectly! Using a pair adaptors with the dust filters to stack over these filters' inlets should prolong their use life by capturing most of the actual paint mist droplets before they ever get to this quality vapor/fume stopper. Most claim that with the #6001 in use, you don't smell anything...not a trace!

you can use any paint. but it suggests gun metal, grey, green, natural wood, olive drab, brass, tan, and yellow. I would also recomend some yellow and blue.

That all depends on the spray gun your using. This compressor puts out 3.8 cfm at 40 psi, guns today can require 3 times that amount of cfm. HVLP guns require higher volumes of air. Older style siphon feed guns, especially a small touch up gun, may be able to be used depending on the tip and air cap configuration. A small airbrush you could use easily. This compressor builds air quickly at its stated rating, but the storage capacity is just not adequate for paint spraying. Hope that helps.

That would be along the lines of what this sprayer was meant for. However, I'd be inclined to believe that it's better suited for traditional enamels such as you could buy in quart cans at a home center. I don't know that I'd want to spray any hot lacquers through it, or anything too exotic such as two part isocyanates or anything else where you'll want to be wearing a 'space suit' and breathing through a supplied air respirator. Now, those could work! But I've never tried it, and I'd want to hear from someone who has before attempting it. Rustoleum or the like, absolutely. Do be sure to properly thin whatever you spray, of course. That would be along the lines of what this sprayer was meant for.

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray.Good Luck!

First off, only water based FLAT paints should be used. You can purchase a spray gun for about $25 on Amazon and use it in conjunction with an air compressor. This will allow you to use any water based paints. This is, if you want to get the most even and consistent crackle effect. You will be spinning your wheels experimenting with aerosol spray paints.

Probably not. Sprays VERY thin paints OK, but sputters a lot. Large blobs are emitted randomly. Good for sealing a deck, but painting a car, no.

The airbrush is good for detail painting and it's awesome for scale models. However, based on the size of the paint reservoir and that you're painting such a large panel...you might need something more industrial than this unless you have a lot of patience.

Really all you would need is an inline water/oil filter to keep moisture out of your system, and some hoses. Quick connect hoses and fittings are really nice to have, especially if you will be changing between spray guns, or just for convenience. And some cleaning solution that is compatible with the type of paint you are using will help with the cleanup.

Spray Paint & Smoke - it depends what you want. For either situation these only filter out the particulate - NOT the actual harmful vapor contents. So its helpful in each case - but you still need lots of clean air in either case.

I'd be inclined to use the spray. Quicker & looks like is as effective. Either will get the job done.

If you can thin it to spray it will work, just make sure you clean them real good, and I use a turpentine at the end of day to clean my airbrush, just in case I don't get it clean enough with water, since most of the paint I use is Enamel Paints or Acrylic.

Never tried over spray paint, but I would assume that it would work. Paint is paint.

That should be plenty. A lot depends on how thick the paint is. Lacquer, no problem, latex enamel and you will have to use the big tip and more air pressure to get proper atomization. I used a 5hp 35 gallon tank with oil based enamel and it worked fine.

YES, I spray painted and its gorgeous. Spray paint is better for this type of metal.

Try some clear spray lacquer, there are many aerosol products available. Lacquer is often used to coat metals and such.

My first questions would be how big is the doll and what type of paint do you use. If they are, say the same size as a Barbie doll to about 24" tall doll, this will be perfect. This air-brush comes with the .2 needle {for fine detail work} the .3 needle {for mid range} and .5 needle {large} I've sprayed both enamels and acrylics. Easy clean up, and needle change. The kit does come with everything you need, EVERYTHING. I myself use the .2 needle most of the time for my 1/48th scale model painting{styrene plastic} for camouflage,and some smaller pieces. I did purchase a second air-brush for clear coating. Fewer headaches, {less chance of cross contamination of paint} less chance of clogging. I do like all my Master series of air-brushes. But to be fair, I think the Point Zero air-brush is better. Model # PZ-260XS also a complete kit .2,.3,.5 needles,nozzles and cups. This can also do the same job, same connection as the Master. I prefer the Point Zero, softer trigger, better control, smoother paint flow, handles paint changes easier. At the price, and like I said having 2 {1 for painting,1 for clear coats} is a better way to go. IF YOU CLEAR COAT. If you just need one, I'd say the Point Zero kit. I hope this is not tooo long winded an answer, and does help. One side note if you need to purchase a compressor, be sure to get one with a reservoir tank. All the best of luck.
