Since most prepackaged aerosols don't contain isocyanates you can get away with a cartridge mask when spraying larger projects. For quickie jobs you may be able to just stand upwind so you don't get hit with the overspray.

As long as you can stay out of the overspray you should be fine, it's not nearly as toxic as paint that has a hardener added then sprayed from a spray gun.

Aerosol paint is very harmful! I rather paint 2k primer without a mask than painting without it when using aerosol!

Ok, what are the chemicals that are as harmful as isos?

My question exactly....... Isocyanates are proven deadly to lung tissue. What's in a rattle can that come anywhere close to that?

Iso expose causes permanent brain and nervous system damage. Lung damage is a secondary.
Rattle can paint expose will do the same thing but at a slower pace.
If you use rattle can paint then buy it in a can and shoot it from small paint gun.
At least you will not be exposed to whatever propellant they put in the can.

I believe they all are toxic from one extent to another.
