Thank you. Before I ever aim it at even the cheapest rocket, I'm going to practice airbrushing pasteboard boxes (the closest analog to tan kraft paper body tubes that I have). Not having a spray booth, I'll lay old newspapers across my stove and tape more sheets of newspapers to the stove heat shield panels on the walls in that corner of the kitchen, to catch the overspray. I can also use the stove hood's exhaust fan to evacuate any fumes from the acrylic paints (these paints shouldn't have much in the way of fumes).
