can I safelty paint at home

Ive been hearing about water based paints. I also know that commercial paints are fairly toxic. So can I paint at home? This is race car stuff, park everything outside except the car to be painted. Is it safe with certain paints? Which ones?

You can safely paint most types of paints that you will come across, at home. As with any auto paints, a quality respirator is a MUST. A supplied air style is even better, and you can shoot whatever you want, without fear. The cost of the newer styles of supplied air sets, are very reasonable in their prices. Good luck!! Tony.
