I used a 3M 6900 full face mask for several years for both painting and other things and just loved it, the 6900 is the large, 6800 is the medium. I have now converted to 3M’s new FF400 series full face respirator. These are a little more pricy but I really like it, and their new semi-permanent lens cover works pretty good, it repels paint. But new 6000 series can be had pretty reasonbly on Ebay, I have picked them up anywhere between 50 and 75 dollars. Some of my 6000 series face pieces I have had for 6 or 7 years with very little trouble. I think they are well worth it. It just takes a little time to get used to wearing it.
Thanks for the heads up!
I use compressor air for our respirators at our shop and really like it, I filter the air 4 times before it reaches the respirator and have a CO monitor. I use 3M Full Face masks, for what we do at our shop, mostly farm equipment and trucks these work exceptionally well, they stay on your face. This way too I only drag around one air hose, It took a little time to get used to the hose belted to your side, but i actually like it because I feel you have better control of things. It can get awkward when laying under a machine spraying paint though. Here are a few pictures of my set up.
