Re: Removing old paint and rust
yeah, good point LG. brush on or roll on can look pretty good and is better than nothing or spraying some bad chemicals without proper equipment. think about the people downwind and/or what you will bring into the house on your clothes after as well.
when I spray paint or primer I have a full face supplied air respirator connected to a compressor made for breathing air that is outside in fresh air upwind from any release from the shop. don't mess with your respiratory system, you only get one set of lungs. body shop prices or prices to buy the correct breathing equipment to do the job yourself would be cheap compared to the alternative. when sitting in the hospital with problems you would be cussing yourself out for not doing it right. also, wear disposable coveralls and proper gloves etc. the bad stuff gets in through your eyes and pores in your skin too so cover up boys and girls. when I see the guys on TV car shows spraying with just a paper mask on or you see guys doing a spot weld with no welding mask or grinding without even safety glasses on I just shake my head. long term pain for short term gain and not even their own vehicles makes it even worse.
google isocyanates in autobody paint for a run down on how it affects your body.
