Is this Respirator any good for spray painting?

the21robot

I bought this, but it says on the warning that it shouldn't be used for spray painting, I am only going to spray painting my case. I never really used a mask before, but I got kinda paranoid after I learned about asbestos and junk.

You are most likely perfectly safe just to use it in a ventilated area without a respirator. Such as a shed with the door open and spraying near the door. But If you have the respirator you might as well use it. It can't hurt

It should work, I spray paint without a respirator most of the time.

Woo!

I do it outside, but I always get headaches so I figured it wasn't good

It will be great, graffiti writters use lower quality than that and they are fine.

That's a perfectly good mask designed for paint since the 3M 6001 filter on it is made for organic vapours which are present in most paints or have low levels of it.

 

Personally I just spray in well ventilated area or outside since I don't paint much, but if you a lot of painting it's good investment for your lungs.

its good to goto the manufactures website and read up.

3m is a good.

http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/NATekk/Tekk/Product-Catalog/~/Paint-Project-Respirator-6000-Series?N=3294529181+5927440+3294427654&rt=rud

 

that is a mid level respirator that would be good for painting so you can do it in a booth, aerosols are the main thing you want to filter when.

It's a good investment but you need to change the filter's every year or so.

 

if you want to look at another brand besides 3m, sundstrom is good too

Its all about those volumetric clouds
