yea if you do spray 2pak, i'd hire a booth and full safety gear, that way the conditions are much more ideal and consistant for spraying 2pak (temp humidity etc) and safe

You will need to be extremely careful, Isocyanates are accumalitive material, once you have a reaction to exposure it is likely they will always be a continuing problem.

"Safety alert on isocyanate sprays
10 July 2009 Print this article Comments Share this article
WORKSAFE Victoria has released a safety alert for woodworkers warning of the risk to health from spraying furniture with two-pack polyurethane paints and lacquers containing isocyanates.
According to the safety alert, spraying generates a mist that may be inhaled and cause respiratory sensitisation and occupational asthma. Exposure to trace amounts of isocyanates can then trigger these symptoms once a person is sensitised, which means the person can no longer work with isocyanates.
Organic solvents and thinners used to clean spray guns can also affect the central nervous system and various organs and can cause dermatitis.
The risk can be eliminated or reduced by referring to the material safety data sheets for guidance on suitable controls, or using paints and lacquers that do not contain isocyanates.
Other measures include using downdraft or side-draft spray booths to vent the fumes outside, locating open faced spray booths away from cross drafts, using an airless or high volume low pressure spray technique to minimise overspray, and using an airline respirator.
Items should be placed on a turntable in an open faced booth, so the operator can rotate the items and direct the spray towards the extraction point. Freshly sprayed items should be kept in the booth until they are touch dry.
Spray booth, respirator and airlines should be maintained regularly to ensure air quality, and there should be control of ignition sources in areas where flammable solvents are used or stored and within two metres of open faced booth "

Looking good Glen, hit us up with some pics of the finished paint job ( clearcoated ).

Thanks Jarred and Grant.
The clear is done now , but want to get some parts on to get better idea
of " the look ".
My Brother [ previous owner ] has some neat spoiler / skirt accent
ideas which I will be painting today.
Sort of break up the colour of the car but with accents to draw attention to
these parts. Looking forward to how it looks.
Have lots of wheel polishing and tyre blacking to do.

Very Metallic.
In sunlight its " Silver ".

I got bogged down on the bumpers today, I thought they were in excellent order.
When unpacked - they were shocking. So too much time spent there.
Spoke to Mathew at Camden GTI, getting brake upgrade tomorrow - hopefully.
