I spray a lot of lacquer paints and do a ton of fiberglass layup in my work. Also restoring my car,and am getting to the point of epoxy primer,hi build and bc/cc in that part of my shop.I have used organic vapor respirators for many years and thinking it's about time to step up to a healthier method.Any information and recommendations are welcome.Half mask,hood or combination?I have a beard and wear glasses.Thanks
