I won't belabor the physics or the science regarding mechanical and electrostatic filtration [sciencedirect.com], or what the differences are between masks and respirators [3m.com]; links are here for those interested.

These are elastomeric half mask respirators and cartridge filters of P100 level filtration (N95
Good Deal?

What about for spraying automotive paint?
For full-on spraying in a booth or enclosed environment, you definetely want to use a full-blown organic vapor cartridge and not a P100. Something like a 3M 6001 [3m.com]. The P100 2297 filter with nuisance-level organic vapor protection is fine for quick rattle-can spraying outside, on a small part, but I always wear the 3M full-face respirator with 6001 organic vapor cartridges when I'm doing larger jobs, or anything indoors where the odor will linger.

One benefit of the P100s is they can be used pretty much until you can't breathe through them. And they don't need to be put in a sealed bag when not in use to extend life. The 3M 6001 organic vapor cartridges, on the other hand, can go bad simply by being left in open air for extended periods of time, so one trick to getting more life out of them is to remove and place into a ziploc bag when not in use.

how many uses can a filter last ?
P100s can generally be used until you can't breathe through them any longer... That's how you know they need to be tossed.

That said, I have 20-30 different P100 discs, some of which have been used fairly heavily in my hobby shop, and I haven't really had any get so bad I can notice significant breathing resistance through them.

As others have said, these filters are great for sanding, grinding, anything that kicks up fine dust. They are not suitable for COVID as the masks these interface with don't filter outlet air.

I don't know, Ive never done that before. Wouldn't mind learning. I know that 3m does make a respirator expressly for sprays, including oil based sprays.

Agreed, somewhat. They are not suitable for covid if you care about potentially infecting others. However, there are many places where mask adoption of any kind is just nearly completely absent. At that point, the way I see it, the community does not value my personal health at all and is unwilling to observe even minimal adherence to communal safety. In that event, I might as well the absolute best protection I can withstand. Elastomerics are far superior to all but the most advanced disposable masks in every which way - fit, filtration, longevity, humidity.

Thanks, man. I'm looking at giving it a shot painting an old 4runner I have in my backyard. I was planning on either making a temporary paint booth or buying one of those inflatable ones.

We bought a Miller welder from them last year, as well as several purchases of abrasive products and other welding accessories with no problems. Get on their mailing list and these deals arrive often enough.

As always, read the directions and if any doubt, call the supplier. Some of the epoxies almost require a hazmat suit with external air supply. There are too many variables, including paint booth types, materials used, allergies, etc. When it comes to your life and health, you are responsible.... or at least should be.

Mine shipped out yesterday. I also submitted a customer service request for an update on my order, so I'm not sure if the two are related.
