Two pak contains isocyanates not cyanide.
The painter was putting on a coat of sealer not paint in the pic, and although all pants have a level of toxicity, the coat he was applying was not
containing isocyanates.
The sealer is utilised to make sure the stability of any paints underneath are kept to a maximum.
This is done after ALL potential loose material is removed, but allows you to not have to go full bare metal.
It is only recommended if the paint on the vehicle that already exists has a high level of stability.

Bloody nice job! But I really like the look without the guards, etc - shame we can't get the authorities to see it!

As the panel shop that did the job is primarily an 'Accident Repair Centre' it would be of no benefit to disclose where it was painted for
the purpose of getting any restoration work done as the workshop is not equipped to do any rust or resto work, and as you can see the Beetle had no
rust to begin with.
In saying that if you are looking to get any smash work undertaken, in my opinion Woods Accident Repair Centres (Melbourne) do a good job, and have
systems in place to ensure customer satisfaction and insurance company liasons.
