On the air fed system for spraying, I am hoping for a bit of guidance from you experts that are more up to speed on what should be my requirements for an adequate system for part time spraying on my own classic cars, so i am not looking for a commercial set up solution. But the proper requirements for a healthy outcome is my main criteria.
I know a lot of my friends just spray with an ordinary charcoal filter mask, which I tell them is totally inadequate for spraying isocyanate spray paints. And they just laugh and say " sure look at me, I'm fine"
And my reply is "when the damage is done, there is no going back"
So I only have one set of lungs that I want to look after.

When I sprayed my precious, I used a 3M branded face mask (7502), with 6059 ABEK1 filters, topped with FFP3 dust filters. That was the best solution I could buy. I was happy with the filters, because I could not smell the paint. I think that's something.
OK I must check that out, but I thought the recommended procedure for isocyanate 2 pack was air fed. Did you use isocyanate on your car. Was that the only option to you at the time then.

Im not sure, I used Valspar 2K poliurethane paint. That paint was my only reasonable option, what was available.
The Safety Data Sheet for Valspar 2k polyurethane paint does not mention any isocyanate content:
With a small amount of welding, I'm assuming that most people would suggest grinding back and/or keeping your head away from the fumes and stay in a well ventilated area. I use 3M 6300L half masks with a P3 filter for dusty grinding / sanding tasks and was wondering whether I could find a suitable filter to further reduce the risks when grinding/welding BZP and galvanised steel. 3M have a filter selection website but it requires some specialist knowledge (that I don't have) to use it with confidence. 3M P3R 2138 and 3M P3 6038 may be worth looking at but do not take this as advice.

Maybe I'll give 3M a call to check.
