I'm looking to upgrade my respirators for painting purposes. I want to get another half face and a full face. What do you recommend budget friendly? I mostly paint with OMNI MBC stuff so far and haven't experimented with urethane yet but want to keep my options open for a quick upgrade down the road.

Full face first,

I like this 3M mask because its got external cartridges and says it can be converted to run supplied air.

I was also wondering if an FF-402 mask could do this aswell? Good mask or should I look at something else.




Any recommendations for a half mask aswell that would be sufficient for painting without ISO's

Watching.

that respirator works well. store the cartridges in a zip lock bag when not in use and change every paint job

Exactly what i do.. the full face is the only way to go, unkess you are using a supplied air system
