I used to be a spray painter for a Farm Equipment mfr. in the 70's & 80's. We wore dust masks. A lot of the time, if it was something that could be painted quick, I'd just hold my breath while I was in the spray booth. The masks helped, but you could always tell what color paint you had been spraying by the color of your boogers. :yawinkle: One day, the office guy who purchased supplies was in our building talking to my foreman. I asked him if there was lead in the paint we used. He said no. :^o Then he said something about there being "lead driers" in the paint. :knob: Before I quit that job, I had my lungs X-rayed, just to cover my bases. I probably should have had blood work done too. I'm still alive (I think) so I guess I'm okay.............. :tard:
:burnout:
