What he said ^^^^

Since the people posting the advice about just wear a mask it will be okay obviously haven't read the thread that Smackfiend posted above...
Here is an extract posted by Malcolm the admin on the MIGwelding forum after speaking to 3M one of the most respected manufacturers of "masks" he points to this info

Paint spraying
Hazard Inhalation of isocyanates found in 2-pack paints
Advisory PPE Supplied air breathing apparatus
Suggested Product Supplied Air Visor System (3M Visionair)
6000 Series Full Face Mask with 06971 Supplied Air System
7500 Series Half Face Mask with 06971 Supplied Air System (must be worn with eye protection e.g. goggles as shown)
Premium Line Goggles (2790A) Acetate lens

Unsuitable PPE Particulate respirator (e.g 6922)
Gas and vapour respirator (e.g. 6941)
Mask with filters (e.g 6000 Series Full Face with cartridge filters)

That's right 3M the people who make probably some of the best kit around say their own Gas and Vapour Respirator ISN'T suitable..

The phrase a little knowledge is a dangerous thing springs to mind

Have you considered the 2k non iso paint, think the hardener basically turns 2k paint into 1k acrylic. I have used it with 2k primer with results better than cellulose high build. I have some clear to try it with but not got round to it yet.
You could even use water based and top with a 1k acrylic clear.

did you ever get round trying it on a clear coat?

I wasn't happy with it at all and bought an airfed mask to use proper 2k products. On primer I like high build epoxy as it doesn't absorb moisture, as for the clear I think the 1k acrylic from upol is better than the unibinder.
