Nerf gun smells after paintjob
Last week I painted my Nerf Alpha Trooper with a base coat of Krylon Fusion Silk Black and a layer of Krylon (regular) Silk Oxford Blue. After four hours I kept the gun in my room, and soon it was filled with the smell of spray paint. I aired out my room and kept the blaster in my garage. Currently I am leaving it outside for the day and bringing it back to the garage for night. It still smells though. Is there anything I can do?
Sorry if I'm not active much, busy on another forum and another project non-soaker related.

Re: Nerf gun smells after paintjob
Leave your windows open, blast fans, and never leave anything that leaves fumes while drying sitting in a closed space ever again. This applies to any kind of paint, stronger epoxies (though not a bad idea with any kind of epoxy), PVC primer and cement, etc. And wear a mask particularly while working. Use rubber gloves for these items too.
Chemical vapors are bad stuff. Overexposure may lead to dizziness, lung damage, etc. I myself have gotten lazy too many times and not worn a mask while epoxying but instead simply trying to avoid the fumes while working. Bad idea.
Can never be too safe with this sort of thing.

Yeah, I solved the room problem but the gun itself still smells. Anything I could do for the gun?

Re: Nerf gun smells after paintjob
Since you just painted it, you have to wait for the paint to just release its chemical odors.
My "arsenal": Customizable APH, Storm 600 pistol (still haven't finished fixing this), launcher- Model:AB1.0(Decommissioned), AB1.5, soon AB 1.1(2"rebuild) maybe ill get something else in the future

Actually it's been a week but I'm only airing it out now.
