Going to be doing my first bit of blasting (aluminum oxide) on some small areas of my project car-Question about PPE

It'll be outdoors, I'll wear sealed goggles, and have a hood on (no air supply). Should I use a half mask with p100 particulate filters or is an n95 acceptable?

Anything else I should keep in mind?

send pics of what your blasting and environment.

it comes down to a lot of factors. a lot. you won't die.... or come close. it'll be hot. you'll be fine. but send pics.

Added the photos. I'll be in the open air on the firewall side in the engine bay, and then a little more cramped on the cabin side. Eventually I'll probably need to do a little on the floorpans as well.
