I am in the process of painting up some Realm of Battle terrain boards, yesterday i started undercoating them using aerosol cans of Citadel Black undercoat, i set up an 8' x 8' masked area on the floor in my garage to paint the 2' x 2' board sections one at a time, figuring that was ample protection from over spray. I then sprayed the first board section and left it for about 45m and went back to it, although the board section looks great i have found that the whole of my garage now has a very fine coating of black powder....even areas that are a good 10' away from the painting zone. Is this normal? I'm sure i've used aerosol cans before in quite confined areas and not had over spray this bad.....only thing i can think of is that yesterday was very hot and humid, could that have caused it?
I was planning on using an airbrush to do some work on them indoors but this makes me very cautious now, i have seen many YouTube vids of modellers working at their desks with airbrushes and no sign of extraction....how do they avoid the problem of over spray or paint particles in the air?
Thanks in advance for any help.
