Urethane paint requires supplied air. You can't filter out Isocyanates. Something to think about.

Yeah its a red tinter with a gold pearl, really lights up in the sun looks sweet and it still doesnt look half bad in the dark. You would be suprised how hard it is finding a colour that has a lot of bling in the sun and still looks good in the dark. And yeah i know all about urethane paints i work on aircraft thats all we use you dont gotta tell me how bad they are.
