So, I am in the garage a little while ago, painting pieces for the off-road SCUBA support adventure trailer that I am building, with the new HPLV pain gun I bought from Home Depot just for this purpose.
I will say, the cheapie (about $25) respirator I bought really does make a difference in my personal air quality while in the middle of such a process - but I'm wondering if I could step it up a notch by using SCUBA gear. I've already got the reg and (I think) a long enough hose that I could put the tank on a bench or something and just breathe off of that rather than the respirator. I realize that I'd have to cover the stuff up with plastic to keep paint from getting on it - and also go rent a tank for $10 or whatever - but I'm wondering if it might be a healthier, more effective breathing solution than just using this cheapie respirator.
Any thoughts?
