Necessary are carbon filtered face masks, supplied air systems, Tyvek suits, nitrile gloves, fully vented paint areas. It is no longer for the faint hearted.

Gotta go upset the neighbors again and finish epoxy priming the trunk lid of my project. (Let's see, face mask with new canisters, check, nitrile gloves, check, bunny suit & head sock, check, vent fan on, check. Now to mix the paint - spray, then clean up)

I should be a lot more careful then I am...I have a full mask and use gloves, that's about it.... Maybe all the lacquer from years ago allready damaged everything beyond further damage????

How efficient are the charcoal filters for the paint booth its self?
If I was to set-up a paint booth with all the personal safety equipment and wanted to keep from making the neighbors on both sides of me not pass out,will the charcoal filter work and how many or what type would it take to filter to this level?

A nice calm blue sky Texas summer morning before 8:00 am. Roll it out onto the driveway and shoot it. All before the neighbors get stirring.

Sunday morning is best for me, my neighbors usually party late on Saturday night... With some of the "fumes" I've noticed around their house, doubt they would want to start a cop calling war anyway!!!!!

"Hair of the Dog" Dave. They would probably thank you for letting them enjoy the Sunday morning.

Hmmmm... Hadn't thought of that Nitro.... They probably think I'm a nice guy or something!!!!!

It just keeps them sedated until you're done
