Spray painting - PPE

I'm planning on spray painting a few things but haven't done it before. I have a Sundstrom half mask I use for dust protection with P3 filters which obviously are just particulate filters. So I need a gas filter as well for the solvents and I'm wondering where the best place to buy them is. They're not on Amazon or eBay. I found them on the Arco website but would need to mail order and they charge postage. Do any other shops sell them? I need Sundstrom SR 217 A1 filter:

It can be combined with the P3 filter. fil

Screwfix have lots of masks and filters, may be worth a look

I've had a quick look and couldn't find any others either - it was a very quick look, mind.

How much are you planning to spray paint? 
If it's really just a couple of things, and you can do it outside, then you'll probably be fine with just your dust mask.  Particularly if they're small things that won't need much spraying. Do it in short bursts and have pauses in-between. From experience, spray paint tends to look better with multiple thinner coats anyway.
If you're planning a massive mural though (or have any underlying respiratory conditions) then you might have to bite the bullet on postage.

I prefer full face paint respirators like 3M 7162.
