Types of paint and types of thinners!!

[syborg]

hi folks.
its been a while.

right...im sure this has been asked so please forgive my inpatience and newbism...
ive just bought a new hobby compressor.."wolf air 25litre 9.5cfm" and it came with a spray gun.
basicaly im rebuilding a 1997 honda CG125 and want to spray the frame as theres areas of light rust and flaky paint.

what sort of paints and thinners could i use fairly safely in a well ventilated garage for minor jobs like frame spraying and other amature painting.
i have a respirator so thats no issue.
im obviously aware of cellulose, acrylic and matching thinners to dilute but im a bit miffed to be honest about whats available without paying for automotive quality materials..

ive kind of got the jist of using the gun during a few afternoons of spray staining the fence and a new huge chicken coop ive just built.

would just like to expand my use of it to more refined results.

many thanks in advance..

syborg...

Enamel or celly would be fine for a frame.
2k has the isocyanate issue, 1k & celly are about 50% thinners, so a lot in the air, decent mask wanted but they're more DIY-friendly.

if you dont want automotive stuff ..look at rustoleum combi paint , you can thin that with celly , white spirit or thier own thinner , and spraying it warm makes it flow nicer

Well silly as it may seem but a spray can of rustoleum (hard hat) works very ok. Try this because it's fuel resistant too. Good luck!
