I was wondering if it makes sense to bring a respirator or something to protect your lungs, but also wouldnt it seem a little sketchy if anyone were to see you walking around wearing one? Kinda takes time to put on and off so its not like a quick hide.
Any PP3 dust mask will help. Should always use a respirator though man. Paint is generally very nasty stuff.
i dont tend to wear one when im just spraying a sticker or two for a background or something like that i tend go outside for that sorta thing, but i dont have a respiratory for big pieces anyway, i just use a bandanna or one of thos dust masks mentioned before
@hexx you can get a respirator for 27 bucks at home depot in the paint isle. wait till you see how broke you are when you have to pay for dialsys treatments when your 50.
A) im not in america and B i dont use spray for a long amount of time anyway like i said before, i havent done a piece yet becuase i dont have enough paint
Neither will a dust mask, that's only for heavy particulates. Need the amorphous gas filter and the heavy particulate one for it to actually work. Should always keep you mask in a sealed bag too, as when its in not its basically always filtering so its usefulness will have run out by the time you use paint.
idk anything about them but i wanna get a cheapish one, doubt mum will buy one for me, is this okay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Cart...or-Mask-Kit-/311382180449?hash=item487fd30261
cheep n nasty IMO that man. 3M ones are the shit. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/reusable-respirators/0711766/ Isn't a bad price for what it is, though you can get a 7200 series one with all filters for about £35. And I wouldn't say don't paint until you have one, but I go through nearly 10-20 tins a week if I get a few days off. So it would be stupid of me not to wear one.
yeah well like that fair doos you sorta need one but i havent painted pieces yet cos i only have black, i cant get proper graff paint either unless i go to a city or pay stupid amounts for p&p, like i said i only use it for like a minute
I hear if you're outside you're fine, but it doesn't hurt to have one. I usually use one regardless of inside or outside. If you decide to not to wear one outside, just hold your breath when you go for big sprays and fills.
what about these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Oversp...Respirators-/131103473037?hash=item1e86603d8d http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-6200-S...-face-masks-/311415419964?hash=item4881ce343c http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-7500-S...705?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item230dcdfc91
Face mask is the same as mine but filters are different. and if you don't use paint, I'm pretty sure you will be fine without one for now.
Bud, this is what I use: http://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Household-Multi-Purpose-Respirator-65021HA1-C/202080143 Had it for ~6 months now and works really well. With our purposes, you only have to change the filters every year or 2 years
