There's a disposable (non-replaceable filters) one linked in the wiki that should be readily available at stores. Alternatively, you can grab a reusable 3M respirator and some compatible filters off Amazon. The latter option might be a few dollars for the first time around, but will be cheaper in the long run.
You'll want something rated for organic compounds (I'm assuming Krylon isn't a water-based acrylic) and good particulate filtering (P100 being the best). The 60923 cartridges meet both those requirements https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1534981998&sr=8-2-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=3m+60923&psc=1
Do you know if these are the correct filters for airbrushing?
They seem to have different ones for different chemicals.
I've heard that it has dangerous fumes when burnt (such as through using a hot wire cutter). I believe it, and didn't look too deeply into the sources. I'm aware that many people choose to do it without a mask. I hear that lung damage/diseases are very costly and painful, though...
I use a ventilator mask that is vapor protective. 3M 60923 is the cartridge type. This should be protective from fumes and particulates when using rattle cans/air brush/harsh chemicals as far as I'm aware. Change it out once you can start smelling things while wearing it, I believe.

I have bio/chemical p100 cartilage which I was told doesn't actually filter dust

These were reccomend to me by an environmental scientist and I've been using them for a year for my lung condition.
I am 29, I got it last October in an accident. My entire life is totally off track now. Seemingly forever unfortunately
My pulmonologist told me if it didn't go away in six months it could be permanent. Give it time and avoid any smoke
Feel free to message me if you want to talk about it - medications and or just the emotional blow.
The only way I can safely go out and about if there is any chance of exposure to smoke or irritants is in a 3m respirator half mask with these filters. (an environmental scientist who's encountered this advised these filters) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AEFCKKY/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_HGFTMPNMNY8XYZQDNTE0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Some people do recover from this - don't lose hope
I’m pretty sure the 3M Scott FRR uses 40mm filter caninsters by default. The adapter that I linked earlier are for when you want to use these kinds of filters for work use rather than a deadass CBRN situation
I have a question with all of this mask talk. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=respirator%2Bmask&qid=1607389082&sr=8-5&th=1 I already owned one of these so I wear it when I go grocery shopping. So far so good. Can anyone confirm if it's effective, outside of anectdotes, but in science for dummies? My mask was open for a few years because I only ever used it if I needed to spray paint something outside. (I make costume props) I figured being p100 it would work just as well as an n95, but I guess I'm worried now if it has degraded over time or I'm exposing myself taking it on and off (how do you clean them anyway? I wipe them down and leave them for a week).
I've only used the 6100 model, so I'm not sure what the differences between the two. The filters/cartridges are good for up to 40 hours of use. Grab an extra set if you think they'll be using it for longer than that on their trip. Make sure it's the P100 Organic Vapor filters: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY
I had little alcohol wipes with me that I used any time I removed the mask. I wiped down both the outside and inside of the mask and put the mask back in the plastic bag it came in.
It's just that link. Here's the same filter on Amazon available for everyone. The last time I bought a set was straight from Home Depot, so they're easy to find.
That being said, even here in the Bay Area, I've noticed a run on respirator equipment and filters. I wouldn't be surprised if more restrictions start popping up if the epidemic gets worse.
I mentioned in another comment that I use 3M gas cartridges in a 7800 series full face respirator periodically for work (sometimes encounter hydrogen sulfide, etc), so I figured I probably should pick up some more now in case I can't get more in the future. On Amazon, some people were already selling them for twice the price. Even the disposable P100 face masks are all sold out, and those retail for $9 each. Sort of seems like people are buying up everything they can.
Edit: Here is what I mean - normally those carts cost ~20USD, and come in a paired 2-pack. The Amazon Prime ones are the normal price, however you can also see someone else selling a "2 Pack" for 45USD. Same exact filters, same quantity, just twice the price.
I think as long as you're wearing an N95 mask, you're probably fine? You could get a full blown vapor/particulate respirator... They're not too expensive and honestly that will keep you safe in a huge cloud of metal dust. Keep using the vacuum though so that your living room doesn't get covered in the dust!
YW!
Ooooh, derp! I should have caught on to this, lol.
Those are what are called "combo cartridges" -- particulate filter on top of a chemical adsorbent cartridge. That one right there is great for cleaning.. It'll suck up bleach, farts, ammonia, chlorine, rotting dumpster odor, all the nasty. If you don't like stuff that smells, these are your friend.
Downside is they're heavy and offer more breathing resistance than the particulate-only filters.
If you don't use anything with ammonia, you can skip the multigas and go with the OV+AG only (60923), which is a little lighter, easier to breathe through, and less costly. Those appear to be on discount at the moment, as well..

Will these specific respirator cartridges be good enough to protect me when topcoating with spray cans and, possibly in the future, airbrushing?

It says it protects against organic vapors and particulates.
I'd just like some confirmation before I order some.
I have the face piece, 3M 6503, already.
These the cartridge style but buy them at a local hardware store like Lowe's or home Depot the ones on Amazon are fake

Not expensive, especially compared to a lung replacement. Filters will last a good long time. The long term effects haven't been studied, but why "roll the dice" on your lungs?
Besides opening windows, you'll want a respirator with organic vapor cartridges. Same stuff they use in full sized car paint shops. They aren't too expensive https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY
These are the filters that block vapors for that mask
The size of the Covid virus is .3 micron. The pore size of a N95 is .5 micron. A N95 mask will not filter out the virus. A P100 with it's pore size of .2 micron is required to filter out the Covid virus.
Anything less then this is useless.
This.
No, do not cover the valves with a mask! Buy the P100 filters: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY (Model #60923HB1-C)
only 1, it converts 40mm threads to a 3m bayonet style so you can use filters like this: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY/
Oversimplified cliffnotes: There are particulate filters for sawdust/sanding/pollen, etc., which is what you have. There are organic vapor filters, which protect from fumes like from lacquer, which is what you're looking for. There are also dual filters which protect from both. This one does both I believe: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60923-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AEFCKKY
Although ever since covid, filters have sometimes doubled in price.. so it's kind of weird.
