My neibor is a painter at a dealership and he is telling me that the turbine system is the way to go. He told me the results are great, less paint waste and easy to use. Anybody use one of these?
1) a respirator will work, the issue is you need new/fresh cartridges each time you paint. They are not OSHA approved, since you won't smell the iso's when the cartridges expire. Ie: not recommended. You will still have exposure outside, the next day in the garage while the paint is off-gassing, and even while you're mixing the paint reducer and catalyst.

2) I paint with a hood. With a decent exhaust visibility is good. I also wear nitriles gloves.

I am not an expert on the tubine systems, but my understanding is that they don't work well with conventional paint systems (non-water based paints) due to the heat buildup in the airline due to the turbine. My construction company uses a turbine to spray water based poly with excellent results.

Tyvek suits or paint suits keep the solvents from your skin, which readily absorbs the iso. Long sleeves/jeans will keep the color off of you but won't do anything to keep the iso from entering your skin.

Understand that I didn't always follow these safety precautions. I didn't die, but again when I'm around these solvents unprotected I have asthma type symptoms. I'm painting 2 trucks this weekend for one of my companies in a spray booth I had installed last summer, the booth is amazing. Wish I had a booth years ago.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
