It's all relative, isn't it? I have read all these posts with interest, but the fact remains that enamels and their thinners are far more toxic than acrylics and their thinners.

Why not use proper ventilation and then the paint composition is irrelevant?
I don't see guys painting cars for a living complaining about how toxic urethane clears are. Instead they wear protective gear along with a fresh air system mask and get the job done.
If you don't have decent ventilation then I wouldn't recommend you airbrush at all.

Exactly! I use MM enamels and always paint with 2 fans running and wearing my 2-stage respirator. Never had a problem.
