Most painters, especially in smaller body shops only wear a respirator-nothing to cover their eyes.

I've seen much worse. Lots of guys painting one part who hold their breath and run into the booth, spray the part, then run out. I've seen multiple people, without respirators, smoking in the booth...while painting.

People forget that the stuff you're spraying will eventually kill you. I yell at anyone who does this at my work. Anytime I see it someone has to listen to a lecture.

I used to do that kind of crap when I was younger, I’ve seen too many painters get sick along the years and since smartened up. Everyone thinks they will get away with it until they don’t. I remember a guy used to tell me his filter was in his cigarette lol
