I have been into a couple of bodyworks lately and none of the painters have been wearing positive feed visors in the booth :shock: . Rather they have all been using a Sunstrom brand mask? I think they retain for about $150.

I am not saying this is right, but surely there is a national standard that is regulated in this industry etc....?

My favorite are these old blokes. See if you can skip forward to 5.50 and see what they're using as paint masks...it looks a whole lot like zinc cream...
I wonder if they saw life through to the end of the 70s?

Warwick Agustin built a Rally Mini and took the engine out of the front and put it in the back (RWD).

He rolled it on it's first outing, first stage as I recall.......
