Looks like I've missed a couple posts or so-but I know how you feel here...not so much with getting sick, but I've done a couple minor repaints on my wife's Mustang (horizontal surfaces from clearcoat failure) and my eczema went nuts for about three weeks. I wear a filtered mask, but if I don't wear tyvec or similar coveralls, it's itch city for what seems like an eternity.
Otherwise, I'd say you're doing great and I dig the color! I'll have to go back through and catch up on the posts I've missed.
