I hate hearing the "worse case stories" like that.... It's like when I hear people tell me they had a huge wreck on a motorcycle and not to ever ride again. It makes me not want to ride anymore but I will do it anyway's. That liver problem could have came from anything. Painting one vehicle in your garage should be fine as long as you wear a mask, gloves, the suit and eye protection. I'm only 20 and have breathed in TON'S and tons of paint in the last 3 years it's not even funny. On top of that, I didn't wear gloves, nor eye protection, or the suit and had my hands in thinner every day and breathed in bondo dust and fiberglass (this is everyday too, not just once in a while). I tried to wear a mask as much as I could when sanding and such but in the summer with glasses it doesn't work too well. And when you have a cheap boss that doesn't buy you suits, gloves or a fresh air system and you have to pay for everything yourself and you dont even make 280 bucks a week, it's kind of hard to buy things like that.
