Do some research on paint booth setups too. You'll need a box fan or 2 to pull/push the air out and filters for the incoming air. You can build a decent booth from 2x4's and plastic sheets :thumb:

and a mask of course :hehe:

Yea and make sure to get one with a regulator as well, so you can control the pressure you're shooting at. For a mask, I used some Lowes 7 dollar painting mask and it worked okay. As for an area to paint, I did mine in my 2 car garage, just clean it up really good, throw up some plastic sheets on the walls, then wet the floors down and close it up. I really didn't have a problem with dust or anything else getting in my paint. Let me know if you have any other questions.
