Yes I know the fog I made is not really healty... Sad
In fact my wife (who knows I'm not really addicted with safety...) went with me to see if I had the mask on while painting! And she made some photos... She also helped me cleaning all the parts and applying the masking tape.
The mask I used is really simple with one rubber valve. Just enough for one painting job only! And I think I have not to paint anymore! Wink

The paint that Ricky used is known in Italy as ''doppio strato'' and made by Lechler. If I understand correctly, the base coat is their hydrofan system, ie water based, and the clear a 2K.

I would like to point out at this juncture, that even though Ricky is a friend of mine, I had absolutely no influence over his choice of paint or safety equipment!

Yes, UJ is correct, and with his correct language he can explain way better than me!
Yes, I know my safety equipment is scarce... not to mention that I had red paint under the nose after finishing!
My wife, shocked, asked me: IS THAT BLOOD?? Shocked
Oh, no, it's paint, that's ok... Mr. Green
