        Ralph,  I use the 3M welding resperators (the flat pancake ones that
are pink in color) The fit under your helmet and face shields and the
exhaust points down so the fogging of the helmets and shields is about as
good as it gets.  I pay $15 for the mask and two filters, and $5 for the
replacement filters.  That seems to be better than the charcoal units, which
I find rather heavy, and don't fit under hoods real well.   For painting -
that is another matter all together.
