Question for Painters
I watch many of the car repair shows and notice that many times, the painters are in the booth spraying with respirators but no eye protection. I realize that the paint would stick to a full mask but what about your eyes?

Maybe they add a few teaspoons of Vitamin A into the paint so it's good for their eyes :-D
Jokes aside, you wouldn't catch me in a booth full of chemical sprays without a full mask and respirator. Life's too short as is.

This just goes to show you that many of these shows have so many contradictions in them...I basically have stopped watching any of them. Heck....I work on Corvettes every day...the last thing I need to do is watch a show about restoring or repairing cars.
So..as you can basically tell that eye protection is important and that basically goes along with ANY exposed skin. Cover yourself up....especially if there are isocyanates in the products you shoot.

Dub - Thanks for the response and thanks to all the others! That's what I thought and I share your disdain for the shows on TV. Most are just BS or reality show types!
I use a full face fresh air respirator....a head sock...nitrile gloves.,...Tyvek paint suit and booties.
