I personally use the 3M 6502QL paired with their organic vapor cartridge. I've worn it for almost 8 hours at a time on some jobs and it's been very comfy. Definitely a good idea to wear one of these around the harsher cleaners and to avoid compound dust; some of it can be fairly carcinogenic. Good to see someone thinking about PPE!

I can get this for $18.00. You'd probably also want a set of these ($9) to keep out the volatile organic compounds present in most spray paints. If I bought both of those, it'd be over $25 and would qualify for free shipping. (To me in the US.)

Postal shipping from the US to Oz would probably run $28-35 though. Let me know if you want to do it, and I'll PM you my PayPal details.

I honestly am not too educated on respirators. At work (a painting company) we had HEPA filters for when we were scraping and sanding, and then NIOSH filters for when we sprayed paint, but I bought a mask at lowes for personal use that had organic filters and .1 micron filtering, which for me meant I used the same filters for everything. If I'm painting I can't smell it, and when I sand wood I get no noticeable dust in the mask. Other than that I really don't know too much about respirators.

As far as I'm aware though, HEPA is particle filtering, and NIOSH is organic (activated carbon) filtering, so I'm thinking you would want either a NIOSH filter, or the combination thing lowes sells (the combo filters are more expensive, but worth it)


As a side note, they say you should replace the filters after 8 hours of use, but I've got probably 200 hours on the filters on my personal mask and its just starting to not fully filter the organic stuff.

I learned about PPE from the perspective of a woodworker, which has some overlap with detailing in terms of PPE when it comes to chemicals. Woodworkers commonly wear half mask respirators (I use this model from 3M) and then swap in filters for whatever they're doing at the moment. I wear that respirator for many hours at a time and it's very comfortable to wear and use. Just make sure to get one that fits your face shape and size, and to keep facial hair to a minimum.

As for filters, I use P100 filters for getting rid of particulate matter, in our case fine wood dust, which might be less relevant for detailing since particulates from abrasion typically get trapped in water or polish. They have some degree of organic vapor relief but it's not good enough if you're spraying paint or working with strong chemicals. For those, I use a dedicated organic vapor cartridge like this one.

There may be some better dedicated filter cartridges to use since 3M has a pretty wide product range, but that respirator's definitely a good one from my experience.

I have a set of worktunes with bluetooth for hearing protection. They're excellent. I love listening to music while working, and with a bluetooth connection, I wear them all day and listen to music that's on my phone. They don't get super loud, but that's by design; they're hearing protection after all. ;-)

This mask is great since it has the unlatching without removing feature. I use these filters when sanding or cutting wood, and these filters when spraying finishes.

That's very thoughtful of you. I'm not a safety expert and you should read the instructions on anything you purchase, but here's my experience.

The 2 masks I use are a 3M respirator like this and an RZ dust mask like this. The RZ dust mask is much lighter, but it never seems to get a great seal, and the fact that I can still smell sawdust or solvents when using it makes me not trust how protective it is. I really like the 3M respirator and would recommend it over the RZ. I have not tried the Elipse mask yet, but it might be my next purchase just to see if I like it better than the 3M.

Just remember that there are 2 kinds of filters for the 3M - pink ones for dust, and white ones like this or this grey one for filtering chemicals, or Organic Vapors. The dust ones last a while before needing to be replaced. The white/grey ones only last a couple days once you open the bags, because they contain activated charcoal that is constantly absorbing materials from the air until they become saturated. They'll still act as a dust mask after that initial ~48 hours, but if you're painting or applying finish, you should use a new one. Storing in ziplock bags can prolong their life as well I've read.

Looking into getting into airbrushing and getting the necessary equipment. I'm carefully looking through respirator masks since I want to work with enamel/lacquers and don't want lung cancer and saw in the tools wiki this mask.

Would replacing the default cartridge and using this organic vapor cartridge, organic vapor cartridge be what I would have to do? Thanks!

A lot of people like to think that using non-toxic acrylics means you don't have to worry about air safety. Inhaling atomized paint down to your lungs is just as deadly as any other kind of paint. Get yourself a good respirator whether you get a booth or not. Just make sure the filter cartridges you get are for organic vapors, like these.

I use a similar respirator as you do.

These filters are on when sanding and when using shellac

I add this when using other chemicals


Ear protection. very comfortable to wear all the time. Still able to hear conversations and music.


Eye protection. I got tired of scratching the plastic lenses on the cheapies, and also wanted something to keep the dust out

Although I have not used it yet, I bought a 3m respirator and a bunch of the 3M 6001PB1-1 Organic Vapor Replacement Cartridge filters after reading online. https://www.amazon.com/3M-6001PB1-1-Organic-Replacement-Cartridge/dp/B000XBKLLE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497092613&sr=8-2&keywords=3m+filter+cartridge

I just picked up one of these too and it works great. I like the fact that the exhaust vent is down-firing so it doesn't fog up my safety glasses. The only problem I had was that I found it nearly impossible to figure out which set of filters/attachments I needed from the various pages I read online. I eventually, after two rounds of purchasing, ended up with:
