Brass painting advice wanted

[NW Modeling List]

And further to this this thread, once I priced the spray booths in MicroMark I also built my own.  5 pieces of scrap plywood as big as you want (maybe 12" deep by 12" high by 18" wide, mount a bathroom fan behind an furnace air filer, wire a switch to the fan and you're good to go.  I also put an old lazy susan inside to rotate the parts as I paint 'em with an old gooseneck lamp to light it up.
 
Don't forget the respirator, industrial standard air mask.  Latex gloves are also handy.

Doug,
Photos of your spray booth would be great. I was thinking of cobbling one together out of some scrap luan plywood I have, and using a bathroom or kitchen exhaust fan to vent the fumes out the garage door.

Good ventilation is a must, as is a respirator and gloves. Nitrile gloves for solvent base paints. And while we're spending your money another tool that comes in very handy is a spray booth. The commercially available ones are pretty pricey, but you can build your own fairly inexpensively. I've built a few for less then $100 with a good quality fan. I could email some photos of mine if you would like to see how it was built. 

Good luck
