Yeah, here too, but it's a small town the shop is in, and we can get away with it for the scale of what we're doing... I don't approve of it, and I leave every time he paints, cause I don't need to be breathing those fumes while I work... I'm self destructive enough, I don't need him making it worse! :lol:

Yea, there is no way I would stay and work in a active paint zone either

you will have to excuse us old school painters.fumes dont bother us.the guys really get p.o'd when im spraying clear.

Door prep, first kill the rust..............

I had to take out the rt quarter glass to deal with some rust under the the glue....the spot welds on this thing are carnivorous! took care of some of that too. The jams had some poor quality paint on there so it had to be cleaned up more than expected. Had to be done, the paint falling off is not an option....This side is almost ready for some epoxy primer.......
