Pinstriping by Square: Health and Safety

http://motorcyclemonkees.blogspot.com/2015/04/health-and-safety.html

This is not an Art post but one of importance. Paint fumes are a very real danger and I do prefer not to wear a respirators and will always have a fan and door/window open when painting. Respirators have advanced in the last 20 years sins I have been around the industry of painting there are everything from half face respirators to full face with powered filters that are on a belt.

8220;Why is my red signs fading” it’s true red does fade much faster than anything else no matter the material, but not to worry, there is a work around and it’s quite effective. The science behind it is rather interesting but I will not bore you with the details, I’ll let an expert do that! The red dyes are more susceptible to fading because they look red and thus absorb blue, and blue is the higher-energy light," notes David Erhardt of the Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education.
