I have been making moddel for a while now, but i heard the smell of the paint is bad if you sniff some from time to time, so is there some cheap mask i can get that will take care of the problem? thanks!

Alternatively, look into a proper respirator as described in the FAQ here:

I vote for the second one, the professional painters' respirator. It's only about $25, and, if you put it in a plastic bag when you're not using it (to prevent air from circulating through it), the canisters will last for a long time. These respirators are easy to find at paint stores and home stores.
The paper mask will keep out sawdust and other large particulates (floating pieces of stuff), but paints, binders and thinners consist of fine particulates and vapors.

What Didy sed. :iagree::1:
Cheapie dust masks will protect your health not at all. :disappoin :bloated:
You MUST use a resperator with filters suitable for removing organic solvents.
Sure $25 may seem expensive now, but it's cheaper than any hospital visit. :uhoh:
