Questions
Which gloves for mechanics?
Nitrile gloves for oil, fuel and solvents; mechanical work gloves (EN 388) for grip and knocks. Many workshops keep both.
Is a dust mask enough for spray painting?
No. Paint spraying gives off solvent vapour. Use a half mask with type A filters, plus particle pre-filters for the mist.
