So my car will be going for paint soon (Ford Frozen White), however I am not sure that we'll be able to do the inside at the same time. I am thinking that maybe Rustoleum Combicolour white might be good enough to just get the inside to roughly the same colour as the outside. Are there better options that I can do without having to be in a heated unit with no power etc? Advice welcome  Thanks! Edit: I should mention, this will be a track car so no interior to speak of. |

Do the inside first with Tintable Raptor, mixed with Frozen White.

Or just satin black the interior, looks pretty cool

You can apply the same paint the professionals use with a brush and it'll come out epic. Goes without saying that exterior bodywork has to be sprayed with an air gun but inside the car and engine bay and stuff like that will be fine with a brush.
Don't confuse this with the Hammerite type finish you normally get with a brush though. If you're using professional grade automotive 2-pack paint it'll go on so smooth you'd think it had been sprayed.
Trust me.
If you don't trust me then buy some paint and try it on a small area to see what you think. You have to get the base coat and hardener and mix them 2:1 ratio. You get this stuff from a professional automotive paint shop (not Halfords). They can advise you on mix ratios for whatever brand they deal with.

That. 2k brushed on does everything original Hammerite claimed, but never really achieved and the recent stuff is curse word. It goes on well, gives a good finish and hardens properly. You don't need much, and I don't bother with primer on things like suspension parts, brakes, fence posts etc. Have a pic:  |

And a bonus is you'll be able to get the identical colour match as they can mix it with the same paint code.

Anybody has the option of masking up or taking other precautions but the problem with toxic paints isn't the fumes. It's airborne particles. Because spray guns create a mist in the air and because some of the sprayed paint rebounds as you spray the room will eventually fill with airborne particles of paint. You breath it in and effectively paint the inside of your lungs.
With the brush application there aren't any airborne particles. All you'll get is the glue-sniffing effect.
People can read about this elsewhere if they're concerned for their own safety. This is only my opinion on the situation.

Would a 3M 28 day mask be suitable for outdoor brush application?
