Well maybe not quite professional, more like budget... But I have a couple painting questions, wasn't sure where to post them, and I was hoping one of the experts (Dr Deltron, please?) could help.

My main question: I plan to use standard DuPont paints and the epoxy primer, and the guy at the shop said that I could use a certain 50$ mask (as apposed to a respirator). Is this true, and will this be safe?


Next, the "room" I plan to build will just be a 8x8x8 box with walmart bed sheets for a roof and walls. Is this a really stupid idea, as the fumes are flammable? I will keep a fire extinguisher in the room.

Will the Husky touch up gun from Home Depot do the trick for a begginner?

Thanks
