Comments on suitability for spraying a car?

looks ok, but thats just the mask, you would still need filtration components aswell.

and an air regualtor, unless you want the full pressure of you compressor blasted in your face

Got a few regulators around...any special filter required?

dont have the compressor in the same place as you are painting or you will just be breathing in contaminated air if the compressor is in a clean enviroment i dont think you would need any special filter although i may be wrong

Guessing I'm gonna need something to filter contaminants from the tank / pump.

Would run 2 compressors - 1 located in "fresh air" and providing air to the mask. The second would be located closer and would have the sole task of running the gun.

Isn`t the air from a compressor dirty (even with an inline filter)?

What do you think of the double face respirators with cartridges?

You must use a filter even if the compressor is taking in clean air.
You can also only use certain types of oil in the compressor.

Go and get advise from a refinishing supplier other wise you might as well just breath the paint fums in

Disposable mask . I get them from a local supplier, just use them then get a new one. You can't smell the paint you are using while wearing one.

Ok..but what types of paint are/are not safe to use with this?

Presuming 2Pack is probably not?

2 pack isocyanate shouldn't be used anywhere without a full filtration system. I use the 3m mask with cellulose or synthetic enamel no problem. 2 pack polyurethane or isocyanate free acrylic should be safe but it's up to you to decide what you want to use.
