There was some discussion here a few post ago about mask for painting with the urethane paints (epoxies too). There is an outfit that sells a great mask, $15 from my guy, it is a disposable mask, good for about a year if you seal it up after use. The paint manufacturer recommends discarding after one use but they also recommend a fresh air system and a poopy suit. My paint guy says and has several pros using them for a week at a time with no ill effects.
My thoughts on this are given we hobbiest might paint one car every two to three years a new mask and long sleeved shirts and eye protection will do the job. I'm 66, been painting with this setup since I started using the urethane systems in 93 and have no ill effects. At 15 a pop a new mask for a new project seams like the way to go!
This is just for info and should not be considered the gospel! The mask is a SAS Safety Corp part # 8661-92 for the medium. I like the fit, like the sealing and like the fact the thing cost less then the replacement filters for my hi end 3M mask!
$16.53 from Amazon
$12.02 from Tool Outfitters
lots more prices found with a quick google search

Thanks for that part number of the mask. I'm going to get one of those. Hopefully this is going to be the last car that I am going to paint.
