IMO the best solution is to buy the breathing mask, the one that has a cartridge on it. Also leave windows open!
My mum reckons you should cut an onion in half and leave it in the room. Don't know if it works, though.
I used to buy scented sachets to add to oil based paints, I can't find them on the net 
I've found this http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/...-eliminator-50ml.asp and also adding a couple of bottles of vanilla supposed to work.
i knew i could rely on you
yep onion. ;nods:
Sniff some glue. The smell will mask the paint and tbh you'll be so off your tits you'll not be too bothered even if it's still detectable.
