Paint fumes
I saw a thread in here recently where someone had painted their floor with "raptor truck bed paint". After a bit of research into it I
want to do the same thing as the results look excellent.
However the paint comes with all the same health warnings as normal car paint because it's full of similar chemicals. Apparently one should wear
air fed breathing mask and paint in a ventilated booth etc. Question is, is there a safe way to do this at home?

It depends if you're planning on spraying it onto a surface or rollering it on. Friend of mine has done some panels on his Land Rover Discovery
with a roller (for a textured finish); he keyed up the bonnet outside, then painted it in his garage with the door open to allow for air movement. I
think he wore a basic 3M mouth/nose mask as well, but nothing special. If spraying, I would suggest more precaution would be needed.
Also consider other products; this is not a new idea! I've used POR15 bed liner before now, as well as their tank liner for inside a motorcycle
fuel tank - both with great results.

If you're dealing with fumes, you need a P3 breather mask. They're not expensive. I use one and it strips out styrene as well.
They're very cheap compared to the side effects
