Same here. Or Krylon. Or Valspar. Occasionally lacquer. I have had to deal with bugs landing in the wet paint -- twice. Ever. I told people that they were surface details.

I use Rustoleum Filler Primer for my main priming work; sometimes I'll apply Rustoleum 2x primer as a final primer coat. I tend to use Rustoleum 2x paint for most of my work these days, though I've discovered that my huge hoard of cheap rattle-can paint tends to work fine over it. Not always true the other way around.

Doug,
I'm clueless about respirators. I shoot rattlecans, occasionally deal with Aerogloss and plastic cements (e.g. Tenax), and Bondo, but don't do anything with fiberglass.

What kind of respirator should I be looking for? Where would I find it?

Please advise, but remember, I know nothing.

Hi, William,

Your home center, hardware store or paint shop will have them. 3M is a popular brand. About 30 bucks for a new one, and ~16 for refills, which I get every 2-3 years (I don't paint that often). I got mine at Home Depot.

Medium sized

Large

HTH.
