(Added a safety section. Please expand or modify/improve as you see fit. It's VERY rough - just a start I hope to expand on, or to see others expand on) |

| + | Auto paints can contain many dangerous chemicals. It is important to protect yourself properly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A respirator or fresh air system should be worn at all times when you are working with paints. Even when mixing your paint and getting ready. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When spraying or handling paint, wear nitrile, vinyl, or other impervious gloves. Latex allows some chemicals through, where they can be absorbed through your skin. | ||
