With rusty frame rails.
If it makes you feel any better, the contractors that built the homes in your neighborhood probably already did.I can’t soak the neighborhood in this stuff. It’s just not responsible.
I dont know of any paint system you're gonna buy that doesn't have chemical related exposure concerns.Well, I had a plan. Purchased all the 2k paints and materials. Then I read up on isocyanates.
and kept reading about proper PPE, and health effects, and some accounts of exposure.
long story short, I ended up returning it all. This stuff is nasty and My kids play in the room directly above the garage. I live in a dense neighborhood with kids playing out and about in the street and nearby yards. Everyone is home for school/work due to covid. Long story short, in my home and living conditions I just cannot garantee safe application for those who live with me, or around me. I can’t soak the neighborhood in this stuff. It’s just not responsible.
I did purchased a supplied air mask, but still feel that as much as I want to do this right, I won’t risk my health to do so. This is a hobby, not worth it.
On to plan B.
Do auto body shops rent out paint booths if you bring your own tools and material?I dont know of any paint system you're gonna buy that doesn't have chemical related exposure concerns.

Mike, I get what you’re saying, but.........understood, they are all bad. Some worse than others. Isos seem to be the absolute worst. I deal with nasty chemicals at work and am always reading SDS’s and such. I never knew how bad this stuff really was.
I realize I’m probably being a little overdramatic as I’ve spray painted in my garage many times before without issue. But, for this stuff, the short of it is that I’m not comfortable using it in my home and around my family. If my engine bay doesn’t look as good as it could be...then that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
