Spray painting indoors

Some art project, a repair work, home renovation or today's pass time, and you are ready to aim that nozzle of a spray paint can. Wait there!! Don't start off right away. Do you have outdoor space or a lawn? If not, Did you open the windows of the room atleast? Did you cover the floor with a plastic sheet? One has to answer Yes to atleast of of these questions and only then proceed to the next step in the spray painting job. 

Like most paints, it might contain VOCs, gases that can irritate your lungs. Use a mask or cover your nose with a scarf. Keep a floor fan On to direct air outside and let the window be open until the paint is completely dry. The more ventilation you have, the quicker any harmful gases will clear out. And try to find a paint with low VOC to limit your exposure to harmful gases.
