I was wondering if there is a paint that would make good practice paint, That I can use inside. Say sit around at the Kitchen table. That is why it can't smell.

I use 1-Shot in my apartment all the time. Not much odor compared to the House of Kolor urethane paint.

That's funny dude,Glad i don't have that problem and I can hardly
smell cause the 23 years of painting has killed my sense of smell and unless
it's a very strong odor i can't smell it.I'm around paint all the time so i'm immune
to such odors.Either move somewhere else to practice or stop stripeing
or last resort get rid of the ol lady,LOL

I don't have that problem my wife left me 6 yrs ago so nobody to nag.
i'm Nag Free,LOL
goodluck with your choice.

Personally One Shot smells worse then any paint I can think of. I don't airbrush, or pinstripe in my house, because of the smell. You really want urethanes, and enamels to smell. You start using the odorless mineral spirits, or some of the new scented oil reducers, you will still be inhaling toxic chemicals, you just won't know it. Open the door of your garage, get a nice box fan for ventilation, set up a table, and pinstripe out there.

Good luck.

Put a clothes pin on yer nose...problem solved.

Open a can of one shot and stick your nose over it. It smells. So the idea of using an oderless mineral spirits ain't gonna help nuthin'. You want to practice with not much smell? Try using some thick motor oil. It won't dry but it is somewhat like striping with paint. Careful though, the fumes from motor oil, although not as strong smelling are more explosive than paint fumes.
