For a long time I've wondered how epoxy spray paint works. I've used
it and it is great, as hard as the paint that came on the washing
machine in the first place, but I thought epoxies were those which
mixed two ingredients at the time of use. Is that true? That doesn't
happen in a spray can does it?
And... About 12 sqare inches of my washing machine has chipped off
paint with some rust. It's not a removable part, and I can't take the
washer out of the basement. I think I can paint it in 2 minutes of
spraying, 12 or fewer 10-second sprays.
Would you be willing to do this in the basement? I could wear one of
the good? masks, costs about 30 dollars iirc, that has a charcoal
filter that absorbs vapors from paint, solvents, glues, thinners, and
pesticides, it says,
AOSafety, model 95050. Do you think it's safe for 2 minutes. I only
have 40 years left to live anyhow.

You can do it without a spray mask. It's not that toxic.

Well, i'll be lucky if I even have 30 years, but for medical purposes,
I used 40, because that's the outside limit (101).
Still 30 is a long time, I think.
No one else has an opinion on the risk of using spray paint indoors?
Epoxy spray paint!

I don't know about epoxy, but it may not be the cure. If the paint is
coming off due to rust from
the inside, paint won't stick either. Twelve square inches of paint
should not take more than
a few seconds of spraying and for that minimal amount, I wouldn't bother
with more than holding
a wet cloth over my nose/mouth. Is the stuff flammable? You could also
fashion a barrier around
what you are painting with clear plastic and have nothing to inhale.
