Scott,

I used a 3M 6800 with 6001 filters, tyvek suit, hood and rubber gloves. If
you smell or taste paint there is a leak in the mask.   I used duct tape to
seal all seams and picked the hottest day in July (not recommended). A day
in the 60's would be ideal, but the paint cured well in over 24 hours. 

I would recommend a forced air respirator, Hobby Air makes one for about
$300 which I found on the web. If you know someone on the fire department a
Scotty Air Pak is what the paint shops use. I didn't try to rent equipment,
if the 6800 didn't work I have scuba equipment which was my fall back
position.

The preparation was the longest part of the job approx. 3 weeks but the 1965
Alberg looks like she just left the factory.

Any other questions please ask. 

Stephen

Stephen,

Did you use an airline respirator?  Can you rent them?

Thanks,

Scott
