Paint Respirators - a quick overview of paint masks and respirators

- This is a quick overview of why and how you use a paint respirator. Paint respirators keep you safe around paints. Enamel paints are not the only paint types that are dangerous to be around. All paints have associated paint dust or particulates. Even non toxic paints can be dangerous due to then containing chemicals that may be no toxic to eat but they do not need to be in your lungs. Professional painters have a high rate of lung and health problems due to the paint vapors they were inhaling for years when they were younger.
A paint respirator is an essential tool all project artists should have close at hand to remain safe. Even spray paint can be very dangerous if it is inhaled over a long period of time. Using a paint respirator helps keep you safe from the short term and long term negative effects that inhaling paint can cause.
The paint respirator I use can be found here:

im here as someone you use to paint during summers in high school and university. Never wore any protection. Now I have allergic asthma that is manageable but I'm sure the fumes didn't help. Over this last weekend I used a spray paint on a vice I was restoring. I barely used much as it was for detailing work, but it was a high gloss gold color. 4 hours later after a shower my heart felt like it was going to blast through my chest. This went on periodically all night and a few times the next day. Barley slept as I thought I may be leaving early. Did some research and figured out it was the type of enamel paint I was using, and it was an old can. Found out some guy died of cardiac arrest from using a similar product. I now will never be without a respirator, hell even if I'm using latex outside with a brush on a windy day, I may still use a respirator. Please especially to any younger guys, or gals use one. When I was younger I thought it was too much of a hassle, and I was tough. Well I may of been tough, but my lungs apparently weren't especially after years of abuse, its worth the hassle to put one on, I am happy to still be here, as jacked up as the world is I am surrounded by people I love, and need me, and I'm sure you are too.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been struggling SO badly with my allergy asthma and thought something else was wrong with me as I’ve never had any issues, but you described EVERYTHING I’ve been feeling. Like I could be on my way out and my chest just hurting after doing one area. Will be getting one and thank you you so much for your help
Thank you for sharing, Gotta still educate everyone now that the pandemic shed light on N95s and fit testing. There is no red badge of courage for those too cool to wear a mask.
Thanks brother definitely changed my mind on the use of respirators, will definitely be using respirators from now on with my dirt bike builds 🤝
When you finally learn about the type of mask you need but you can't buy one at a reasonable price because of a plague....
This friggin guy probably has them all, friggin guy !
Word
Thank you !!! This was so helpful for me, I am doing my first painting project! The advice on getting the seal by sucking in air through the blocked vents was particularly helpful!
Thanks for the video. I've watched a lot of others that left me more confused. Yours was very helpful and concise. I appreciate it.
Not that I feel it would be appropriate for everyone but I have gone exclusively to the use of a respirator for all my shop applications. Dust masks always left me with saw dust around and in my nose. Plus a respirator does not fog up my safety glasses the way a dust mask would. Good info and video.
Good review. Thank you! Waa helpful to know we only needed to use 1 of the 2 white filters per side.
Thank you...just what I needed to hear. You were a big help!
New to airless power sprayer project, just watched your video, very helpful thanks.
Very informative. Thank you. However, just as you need a respirator mask, you also need well fitted eye protection so that none of the paint particles or fumes reach the mucous membranes around your eyeballs.
Thanks for the informative video. I just started painting MC body parts and need to upgrade my respirator.
as a retired car painter ty for showing people this info sir
Thanks man, just getting into Airbrushing and saw your video. Was in the Army myself so good on ya brother, appreciate the wisdom!
Thanks. man. I'm retiring in a month. 21 yrs.
Thank you Tony...
Very informative video... well wort watching... God bless you...
very informative, tks so much
Great vid, this was much easier to understand and much more helpful than the 3M vid.
Thanks.
All they say is just "Follow your company's schedule or ask your employers" lmao
Thanks. Great video. I am using an LVLP gun to spray Behr Latex from Home Depot. Do I need a mask like the one in your video or are the paper masks that have N95 printed on them sufficient? Same ones that everyone is wearing to avoid the Cornona Virus. Thanks
Awesome video, I learned a lot. I do a lot of heavy lifting and sometimes with this respirator. Can that be harmful such as putting too much strain on my lungs?
Great vid, no bs. Thank you sir.
Thank you!
Thank you for the advice.
I just bought one like yours and the side filters have an expiry date. And as expected, mine are expired, is this normal?
Good video, I pick one of these up soon as they become available again, cant find them anywhere due to COVID-19. Thank you for the information.
super helpful, thank you!
Crap, I've been using the little mask :/.. no colors on/in my nose though
Really good video. I was just thinking about this yesterday during airbrushpainting with plastic models but with lacquer paint. The mask fit anyway good on my face? I painting and spraying direct front of my nose. I will check it correctly.
One thing that you didn't go over, but I would like to know is how do you know when to change the filters??
It's the standard practice of when you can smell the paint, the filter needs changing.
back in the day no one knew about respirator or masks because there was no such thing around... glad someone came up with the idea or ideas...
Your profile picture is looking into my soul 😱
LMAO
you do know about WW1 dont you?
Thx for the tips
Great video, thanks for the advice.
If I am spray painting the curb rash on my car wheels is this safe to do in my closed garage with a respirator mask on? I am doing very light painting, 1 coat just around the outer wheel. But the room has very little ventilation (no windows just a tiny exhaust fan). I cannot do this outside because of weather and other concerns.
Hi question where and what brand is better for the respirator to use?
How much time does these Cartridge last ( 4 months or 6 months or a year)
Is a smoke grenade dangerous? Do i need to wear one of these to play with smoke grenades?
Thank you, informative video.
I just got this mask. When I talk though it almost has this vibrating effect. Is there something wrong with it? Or is this normal?
Thank You
I wear a mask just like that one, set it up like you did, why do I have paint near my nostrils after I’m done painting?
So my head size wearing a fitted hat is 7 5/8 -7 3/4 I am wondering if the 6311 large model is to big opposed to the 6211 medium model it is importan proper fit I do not have exception ventalation when painting my models using Rust-Oleum aerosol cans
What if you are painting say a bumper bar out in the lawn, can you get away with one or two layers of KN95 Mask ?
Good video. Very helpful for a rookie like myself. Thanks
Are the pre filters washable?
What kind would be the best for spray paint art
Definitely a respirator.
O K ya
Are they available for rent? I am doing a small paint job to remove scratches from my car. The cost has doubled if i buy a respirator? This is just one - off project so trying to find a cheaper option.
How bad is breathing in hobby acrylics like testors ? I'd be brushing more then airbrushing.
Great video - Thanks
A nasty neighbor I had would burn lead paint, mold, chemicals. And other things that could not identify at all into the air. He had a respirator on but the entire neighborhood was at high risk cause we had no protection
how often do you need to change the filters?
Whenever the filter is damaged or it becomes difficult to breath
How do you avoid marks on your face ? This hurts and injure me within minutes I know I would get bad scaring after hours. I also can fit it properly, don’t know why but no matter what I do I still smell the paint. But thanks for the video anyway
Hola buenas, una pregunta, me gusta leer e informarme bien antes de hacer nada y mas en cuestion de salud.
He comprado la mascarilla 3M, 4255FFA2P3, pero mi sorpresa cuando veo que el barniz transparente en spray de automocion 2k pone que tiene isocianatos y esta mascara dice que uso de pinturas sin isocianatos, sujeto a condiciones de uso, pero ahora no se que hacer, aun no la he abierto y puedo cambiarla, para mi la salud es lo primero. Que mascarilla de proteccion frente a isocianatos recomendarias?.Gracias
Thanks for the video. Just picking one up for art painting and wondering - These should fit tight around the front of the face below the mouth - Not trying to somehow get it to go under the chin and form under the bottom of the jaw bone, is that correct?
I believe K95 would handle latex particulates as they are not toxic like oil based and chemical strippers etc. Best to read MSDS and 3M guides.
Am I use a p100 for paint spray
Sir, what's the best 3M respirator for spray painting lacquers?
Any of these type respirators, plus goggles.
Can I use this mask for welding?
U think I could use a biking mask?
Where do you get the pre filters?
In description
Ive heard if you have a beard the mask does not work bc you cant get a seal., I have a beard what do I do? Im using it to pain enamels and acrylics on airbrushes. for things like plastic model kits,
That's legit. That's the reason in the military they say we can't have beards. It's kinda bogus though. You can cinch the mask down and it will get a good enough seal to keep you safe. Unless you're painting with nerve gas.
@@Commandodesigns is a pre filter necessary?
@@jackyboi5668 most of these industrial masks come with pre filters, I would say yes, use them.
@@Commandodesigns woah, u reply even when this vid is so old. Thanks man, needed it!
Great info. Thank you
I have the same mask, but I can't wear my prescription glasses with it...so sad
The respirator or the dust mask?
for oil painting?
I have the 3m 5100 i need to upgrade ...and im ordering new filters on eBay now
When the cartridge life has come to an end, how do you tell? Will you begin to smell the chemicals/paints through the filters?
neolithic3 Yes... They have expiration dates as well. So basically whichever happens first, you hit the expiration date or you start to smell fumes.
+Tony D. well im using a 3m 7500 mask with combination filters the 3m 6055 organic vapour cartidge and the 3m 5925 p2 particulate filters how do i know when they both need to be replaced
@@conorsweeney9786 Its usually when it becomes noticeably harder to breathe through, due to the particulates clogging the filter.
I'm looking to purchase a paint respirator, basically to deal with aresol spray sealants. Would a Half-face piece 3M 6300 work (the one with the pink filters) be acceptable or it has to be 3M paint specific? Thanks!
3m makes respirators for all chemicals, irrespective of the brand.
Good information, thank you for the information, AND thank you for your service!
Hei.What symptoms is years later after wrong sprey painting?
you will most likelly have alot of lung problems. which are all horrible no matter how mild. As your doc and youll get scard.
Hey Tony D., so I got a p95 filter system, but I got the 500 series, organic vapor, so my question is how do I actually know I have a perfectly good seal on my face, it seems to be good then after a few wheels I paint, I get sweat and I loose my seal, it's never a correct seal I feel... any suggestions 🤔 👀 😢😅
No bs comments, these paint mask are my life line, trying to retire here lol 😂😂
May I purchase the one that you haven't opened yet ? Please & Thanks
You can get them online
Can I use that model for KILZZ
Definitely
i have a 3M resperater for spray paint
Lots of good information here, thank you
Thanks.
Great information Thanks
well I started spray painting at first i did it out in open and ended up moving into my car port cuz lot of kids kept passing by and well the car port is open but in tight space and I had used a thick piece of shirt and bandanna to cover up as soon I felt dizzy I stopped right away but I been having headaches and felt light headed my parents say it due to allergies I hope it is but I can't see my Dr yet till Monday is this something I should worry bout felt like this the pass 2 days
use a mask dude, it will go away after some time. Good luck :)
The Flying Gasmask thanks man and yea it did end up going I also bought a mask and much better (:
What about a dust mask with a small filter in the front? (That is what I have)
origami shawn Generally you're ok with water based paints but any type of enamels and you should get a respirator. Make sure to have plenty of ventilation as well. One way to check is after a long paint project look in your nose. If you see any color in there, you should be wearing a respirator next time.
origami shawn it might be better than nothing, but from my understanding the paper dust masks are made more for particles rather than fumes. Probably safer to invest in a respirator like in the video, it could save you from life threatening health problems down the road.
Is it good for Covid
What’s the best mask for resin
Thats a good question. The best way to figure that out is look at the descriptions of the filters in the product. Also a full face mask may be appropriate for certain types of resins becasue of the eye iratation.
I'm using it for testors enamals,lacquer paint, thinners.
Testors gold enamel almost killed me a few days ago. I will never spray that stuff without a respirator again. Gave me a racing heart, and palpitations. Hostelry thought this may be it.
I sound like bane when I talk with one on.
Mine is not working properly anymore because I grew a beard. Still better then nothing and I only spray small objects with rattle cans outside.
Then u can shave if u want to?
I want to get one of these for chemistry class
3m says 10 hours max on the filters once opened.
Wow. I didn't know that. Thanks.
@@Commandodesigns No, the shortest filter use time is after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever comes first, and that is only IF you are working with oil aerosols. Otherwise 6 months. Here is the link (scroll down to page 4): multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/565214O/3m-cartridge-filter-guide-and-brochure.pdf
You don't use 2 pre-filters only one. The others are an extra pair. They are N95 filters. They will stop the Coronavirus. But don't use 2 you have to pair there...
I agree with you, he shouldn't have used two filters together at 3:36 only need one per side.
They will help to stop the Coronavirus if the virus is in a vapor droplet. Viruses alone are small enough to pass through any masks, including the N99, but anything helps.
So a person shouldn't taste like paint in their mouth when you kiss them wearing this mask?
Thx man
Lmao this is the most wound up self help shit I've ever seen. And you just got a sub for it bro
oohrah!
Slap one of these bad boys on, and all the sudden I feel like a badass operator...in the back yard...spray painting a coffee table
intro song pls
I'm 5.3 small mask for me medium our large 😆 good video were I work nobody were mask up up unbelievable.
good video my brother
Thanks.
Tony that taught me how to use it, but my husband is new to spraying paint, hasn't seen your video, and, most importantly speaks Spanish. Can you refer me to an instructor who speaks Spanish?
Great 😊
If you feel like you're dying, you're probably doing something wrong. That shit made me laugh
This mask work for viruses Coronavirus? Filter for use ?
Yes, but when buying a filter get a particulate filter
Virus by itself can pass through any filter, but its usually in a vapor droplet, which these filters stop and trap.
How do actually paint a respirator though?
Maplespot you dont
Wow thanks for the cookie cutter review on one specific brand
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
A major problem he didn't address about respirators is... BEARDS!!!
don't forget Spice product
Well that mask stop tear gas
like than you re here for The Division
