Which mask for spray painting?

[Eamo_vxr]

Ive been spraying bits with aerosol paints outside from time to time, also been sanding parts and i want to get a decent mask. What does everyone use?
Thinking something along the lines of an 3m mask like this one? P3 rated which I assume is for vapours etc?
Any insight would be great.

The FFPP1, 2 & 3 masks are for dust protection, PP3 providing the highest level of cover.
For spray painting you want to be getting into a R95 with particulate filters.

Also, think about face fitting, if you have a beard a mask is said to be nearly useless.

The 3M 7502 mask is probably the best non airfed mask I've ever used. Also you can buy both replacement filters in boxes making them cheaper in the long run. Keep them clean with the wee disinfectant wipes and they'll last years.

This, any half decent length of facial hair will render the mask useless.
