Hi all,

I have been reading thru the forum for about 6 pages so far and came across an item that I think needs to be brought up. When using metal prep item like Picklex for steel and alodine for aluminum and the like, when you use it with a spray bottle or spray gun, you need to use proper respirator equipment. The metal preps are acids and you can see what they do to the metal. Just imagine what they can do to your lungs with out your respirator on. I mess with alodine a lot at work and do wear a respirator when spraying alodine and make sure others in the area leave or put on equipment also. Painting can be enjoyable and fun. But, You also need to practice safety so you can enjoy your hobby.
Practice safety and enjoy

That is true, but wax and grease removers such as PPG DX 330 and DX 440 are much more dangerous, and don't smell as bad as Picklex. Those two,and likely products by other manufactures can cause nervous system damage. I say this because if you are cleaning metal prior to painting, you will likely spend more time with wax and grease remover than Picklex, as Picklex only takes a few seconds to apply, unless you are doing the whole chassis. None the less a mask should be worn for both.
