You probably know this but if you are doing much spray painting, you
need something that will filter the VOCs. An N95 mask will not do
that.

VOCs can do nasty things to your central nervous system and brain.


The key to that respirator is the filter you attach. 3M makes a one time
use VOC filter that will even let you spray Imron. Use once, dispose.
As to nasty, friend bought his Mooney airplane because of VC,s, guy tried
to save money and painted his plane himself without a mask. I think Imron.
I used the one shot mask when I painted my Dune buggy about 35 years ago.

Yup, those are the filters I used when I was painting my boat. 2 coats
of Zinc Chromate and 2 coats of a poly based paint similar to
Imron/Awl grip. It lasted about 20 years. I scuffed it up a little and
shot 2 more coats of poly paint on it about 14 years ago.
