Respirator for spray painting

[oplholik]

Just wondering what you all use. I will be airbrushing water based acrylics outside. I probably should have a suitable mask, and I see that some of these things can run up to about $50, do you use anything more reasonably priced?

I use a thick dust mask w/the button in the middle. You can get them at most paint stores including Home Depot & Lowes. Or just a thick dust mask will work for Acryllics.
You only need a respirator(double or single canisters) for enamels, Laquers, toxic glues & contact cements.

Ok, thanks Larry.
