Air Fed mask for spraying
Turbo Mini Forums

I am at the point of putting some paint on my car and am looking at using 2K paint.

Does anybody have an air fed mask that they no longer use that they want to sell? Or can you hire them for sensible money from anywhere?

Thank

Luke

buy a brand new one well worth the extra plus no other person has breathed in it

To be effective, you need the compressor outside the spraying area, or at least the air intake.

could go for a proper 3M style painters respirator probaly not from e gay tho..

painted the ute with only a wood or what ever style mask not fun trying to do a good job while ur high..
will be getting something like this one when i spray anything else for sure!

Thats what I use. I am always surprised when I remove it that I can then smell the paint,so I,m guessing it does a pretty good job.

the air-fed masks take a fair bit of CFM to run in conjunction with the spray gun. A quick search found the mask will probably need 7 cfm or so and the gun upwards of 8 cfm. There may be others that need less but given a 2HP compressor is probavbly kicking out 8-9cfm you'll need a pretty big unit to supply that.

Personally, I'd use the masks with the disposable filters as suggested above

disposable filter masks don't filter out the isocyanates. Thats why you need an air fed mask with 2k paints and clear coat.

Own the day

100% do not use a filter mask for 2k! They do sell some apparently suitable, but I'm not so sure they're really up to the job. As they only last a short period of time.

I have a big compressor for paint and then a small cheapo compressor outside paint area and well filtered for air fed mask.

scuba diving gear?

Well i stand corrected! All i know is we have used filter masks with 'suitable' filters in them for the odd paint jobs we've done through the years

I have an air fed mask I'm never going to use. It looks a bit like one of Simon's gimp masks. has the filter screwing into the front. Can get a pic if you want.

Air fed gimp mask???







This is what I used it was free from work, and can stand up to every chemical agent known to man.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Mine is like the second one, but i think it just has one filter on the front

From reading a bit on the internet I think air fed is the best way. As Joshua said the majority of the filter masks do not filter out the isocyanates. Think it's really an air fed mask that I'm after. I've got a small compressor that I will use just for the mask outside the garage.

Thanks
