Paint Respirators
What would brands/styles would you guys recommend? Im not going to spend the money on a fresh air ($350-$1000) for one job, because that would seriously tip the scales to having a pro do it... So, i guess the word is CHEAP...
Thanx guys

Go to your local paint shop and get a 3M "disposable". They are like $15 or so. Well worth it for one or two jobs.

yep go with the 3m. i think hokpaint.com has em for like 16.00 non disposiable just change the filters when needed. oh and bag the filters when your not using the mask they will last longer that way.

good questoin what kinda protection do they offer though? i keep reading they dont do crap about isocyonates, and have yet to read anything that says they do
i got the 3m disposable one, the paint shop guy recommended it to me, just curious
havent used it yet
i just have a good feeling my booth isnt going to contain much fresh air once i get going so i want to make sure im not going to keel over halfway thru :P

Well, I used one of those for about a year. In school. And they help up fine, and Im sure the school would not give us ones that would go bad.
Rabbitt, def put up pics of your car when you are done. I always like yours and I was wondering if you were going to paint it. BTW, if you dont mind me asking, what color are you thinking?

The 3M ones have a charcoal filter, that's what is supposed to remove the isocyonates. They are not really disposable, but for $16, why buy $20 elements for it?? Plus you get a whole new clean mask every so often.

You need positive pressure, ie; fresh air.

Iso's will not kill you on one job. Your body will, if contaminated, gradually build a resistance to the iso's. Liken it to filling your beer mug... as it fills up and there's nowhere else for it to go...it spills. That's what happens in your body, it fills up with the anti-bodies and your resistance is gone. But hey, look at it this way, in 20 years you'll make a good vibrator for your wife, as you lay twitchin' in bed, cause all the coating is stripped from your nerves.
The important thing to remember is... Iso's do not ONLY exist in the clearcoat, but the primer and sealer as well.
And protection is not only in the form of respirators, they will attack you at ANY mucus membrane. Your eyes, for instance. You need a shoot suit, nitrile gloves, goggles, and a mask of good quality, designed for paint protection. Look for the NIOSH stamp.
