Safety Precautions When Applying Spray Paint Indoors

Ventilation Should Be Just Right When applying spray paint indoors, make sure the area is well-ventilated. Open windows and doors and use a fan to blow fumes outside. This minimizes the ingestion of potential carcinogens, and makes the work environment more safe.

Be sure to always wear personal protective gear, like a mask or respirator for paint fumes, gloves, and eye protection. Avoid letting the paint touch your skin, and work on a covered surface like a drop-cloth to avoid any spills or stains on furniture and floors.

Finally, also make sure to store spray paint cans away from heat sources or open flames, in a cool, dry area. Use and drying times may vary, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. Using these, you'll be making a safer indoor painting with better finish.
