ive only just started using a mask.ive got a big shed (16'x8') that i do all my modeling in.Im carefull how i spray the paint and didnt think i needed mask.Then one day after a lot of spraying i noticed my glasses had a film on the lenses and needed a good clean even though i couldnt smell the vapours.So now i wear a mask!.

Remember that charcoal filters degrade in the air, even if you do not use them. When you have done spraying take the filters off, put them in a zip-lock bag and squeeze the air out before closing.

This should give you at least twice the life of them.
