Matt, I have a good friend who became iso sensitive. I suggest you do what he did, QUIT painting, FOREVER. I hightly recommend it, QUIT. In his case (about 20 years ago), he earned his living supporting his wife and three little girls. But seeing those three little girls grow up was more important than how many toys they had so he took a lower paying job as a parts man. He has since managed parts departments in dealerships. He still delivers parts to where I work and he has watched two of his girls marry, and have his grand kids. The last girl is still working on her masters.

Life is WAY too short guy, at 21, hell, there is nothing stopping you. DON'T SPRAY ANOTHER THING!

You don't have to leave cars behind, make photography your passion. Take up chess, become a sports fan, SOMETHING, ANYTHING but spraying paint.

since I quit the liner shop I rarely spray anything

I dont plan on leaveing automotives as its my life and passion, I have however taken up metal working and welding in a big big way , and I wear a mask in the shop too.

I plan to further my metal fab skill and maybe make somthing out of it, eventually, to earn a dollar I am seriosusly considering heavy duty mechanics.

right now Im the yard guy for a classic chevy truck parts shop www.scottssupertrucks.com

its a pretty cool gig.

I will however say that it'll be a cold day in hell when you guys pry my mack 00 and 1 shot out of my hand!

Slammed I hope you get 100% better. I've read this and now I'm looking into safety equipment. I'm only 22 and I want to be around to enjoy my truck.

Get well,
Mike

This is an old thread but this is good advice.I have been painting for two years now.After I get my vacation in june I plan on leaving my job of painting and not looking back.I don't spray automotive paint but I think any paint is bad for you.Maybe water base is ok But im not for shure.
