*sniff sniff* uh oh *shakes the head*

I went to wal mart, to pharmacy, and they dont have raspirators just like anything else when you realy need it. I had to paint today without the thing. Now i have a strange feeling in lungs and stomach, also my throat hurts :(

Weird. Ive never used one before, thats never happened to me.

Did you try going to somewhere like HomeDepot or any paint or hardware store?
Otherwise, I have never had that feeling....

hmm...did you have a window open?? i never use a mask, but i always make sure i'm either in a big room, outside, or have a window open, and usually the only weird feeling i get is SOMETIMES i'll feel a bit dizzy, but that's rare.

dude where are u spraying? inside an enclosed area with no ventilation?:eek:

yes, i spray in my room, but the window is open.

Yeah I remember a few times after painting my stang that everytime I blew my nose I saw Blue(color of the stang) but I never got any wierd feelings.

Wear a crappy shirt and put the shirt over your nose ! That's what I do :frog:

No i dont stay too close to the can or my car. But then after i spray a bit, i start to see piles of paint in the light flying around, thats what i get to breeth. Anyway thanks man, i will wear some old shirt for next 2 coats :)
now i will go make myself a cup of tea, hope my throat is alright :)

That's why you should NEVER EVER spray in your room! :eek: The effects of lacquer solvents on the human body isn't well documented, who knows what kind of problems you could be facing in ten, twenty years down the road.

I tried spraying outside, but got some boubles and alot more shit on my parts. had to repaint inside, so its all clean.

I sprayed a PART of a car in my room and in the middle of the night I woke up and i could'nt breath right. I did'nt go to school either hehe :D

whaat u guys talking asdj about painting in room asjdfa just fine im not an wierd a;dslkf please excuse ald my writng my hands temble alot askjdf dont know why bubbubbub duhhhh

(keep painting in your room and you will end up typing your threads like that, or you might LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.....LADEEFRICKENDAAA) hehe I hope u all have seen chris farley on SNL

Dude, a shirt over your nose isnt going to stop you from being exposed from the HARMFUl vapors of spray paints. Do yourself a favor and invest the $25 for one of those filtered masks that you see at Home Depot, the kind with the changeable filter cartridges..some have 2(like mine) but there are some that only have one. You said you went down to the pharmacy to look for a mask..were you looking for those dr's type masks? Those arent protecting you from anything but dust particles really. And about painting in your room I wouldnt do that unless you keep the mask on for a while. It takes a while for the fumes to go away. I know you said you get dust mites stuck to your paint job when you spray anywhere else but trust me, your(definitely mine!) health is more important than some model car, unless 20 years from now you wanna walk around with the shakes and trying to remember where you placed your car keys...

So a good paint finish now is more important than a busted lung later down the road? :rolleyes:

Dust and bubbles can be polished out, your lungs can't.

Don't go cheap on the stuff that you need. Buy a raspirators that can filter fume and fine dust. Get on from hardware store.Those paints are very toxic.

AND spray outdoor. If you can only spray in your room, at least turn on a fan (WITH raspirators on).

Ya i have to agree with everyone else, b/c although i spray indoors i still have a mask that i got from home depot and i spray in my living room so I open my balcony door when i do it so its not that bad.

try painting in your bed room with now window open then going to bed 5 min later, im glad i dont do taht any more!

though its fun to impress the girls with red and blue snot!
