cellulose I've heard of. Only thought there was 1 type of 2 pack.

What are all the above? Presumably they have varying pros and cons?

From what I've heard, cellulose and 2 pack is being phased out in favour of water based paints. I can't remember the details but I'm sure someone will jump in with the facts.

O/T but I saw your car at Detling today, Razman... looks even better in the flesh than in the mags. Well done, mate.

Thanks mate [blush]

2 pack is still available if you know where to look, (see my recent thread on my painting)

Positive pressure masks are only needed if your going to be painting cars for a living. filtration mask with filter class B1 are suitable for up to 40hrs exposure.

Hope that helps

Where are you getting this information from?
Every paint expert, supplier or forum that I visited before painting my car said that iso. 2 pack WILL damage you, even if you spray just 1 car.
Mark Allanson on here has been telling everyone how deadly this stuff is for years.
I don't mean to preach, it's just I don't want to read about you in the newspapers.

By the way, if it's an iso free paint (hardener) feel free to contnue

ive got a filter mask that is rated for 2 pack. same 40hour thing, used carbon cannisters to absorb the iso. to be on the safe side i would bin it a few hours early.
