Your application PAINTING adds another issue apparently not mentioned by the, "salesman." If, you will be spraying solvent based paints it is highly flammable-explosive. No one reads instructions. It says flammable, use in well ventilated area.
Personal story. I used to regularly walk past a guy, on my way home from work who purchased a gorgeous 1960's Jaguar. He showed me all by himself, he put up one of those opened gas heaters you used to see in stores. He apparently was spraying paint
in there. He blew up his garage. The flames destroyed his gorgeous car and he was found DEAD under the car by the fire dept.

Well aware of the need to use in a well ventilated area. I have gotten away from using solvent based paints and now using acrylics. It's been tough because I know how enamels and lacquers behave after using them for over 40 years, so the old dog is trying to learn new tricks. It's happening but not at a record pace by any stretch....
