Smelling the paint is one thing...it has an odour that warns you that the filters are saturated and no longer working. Isocyanates have poor warning properties so the problem is you won't know that the filter is no longer purifying the air.
Accepting that a pair of filters is going to be the cost of doing a paint job with paints containing hardeners may be the best solution. While 3M and others have a schedule for the length of life of the filter vs PPM exposure, we in the hobby are not likely to have the equipment required to measure the PPM in the air.

I agree 110% about that plant on the edge of Brandon. Why they couldn't have built it 20 miles out of town is a puzzle to me. It has the potential to ne day make international headlines.
Just had my fit test about 2 weeks ago by the way.
