Rattle Can Two Part Epoxy Dangers

Folks:

I'm having a real rust issue with the grill on my 1960 Cub Loboy . I want to paint it with rattle can two part epoxy ; I'm aware of danger.

Do you folks think I can get by if I paint in open air , use a P-95 Respirator and wear long-sleeves and gloves taped to sleeves ?

Obliged for all opinions .

Two part epoxy paint does not have the same dangers as two part enamel or urethane paint. Epoxy paint uses an activator. Enamels and urethanes use hardeners. Hardeners contain isocyanides that are dangerous to breath. The only issue with epoxy paint is the normal inhaling of solvent fumes.
 
Have several body men that sprayed epoxy paint 25 years ago and are walking around carrying oxygen bottles for years and both are dead
now.
 
Any finish that is catalyzed is dangerous. The epoxy primer has a lesser danger though. Using a rattle can with a respirator outdoors especially if there is a light breeze the danger is nil.

So sorry for this late note of thanks . But I do thank each of you for your guidance .

By happenstance , a commercial applicator applied one coat of epoxy to a mower deck for me. This was 7 years ago and I have been amazed how it has held up. Hoping the rattle can epoxy will do 1/3 as well.
 
Just wondering if there is such a thing as a two part rattle can epoxy? Just can't see now how that would work.

Yes Frank, Eastwoods has it.
 
Thanks, that is interesting. I haven't looked at Eastwoods for quite a while. I seen two part epoxy primer and if you use it as a general term paint ( I seen two part paint but not epoxy, but I might of missed it). It is a interesting concept though.
