Bob,
There is a site which sells some autobody and painting supplies at:
http://www.autobodystore.com
including at least two breathing systems. One system hooks up to the
air compressor source, there is one hose coming from the air compressor
to a belt mounted fitting. From there the air is routed to both the air
gun and to a filter/carbon monoxide sensor which feed a face mask. The
reason for the CO detector is because it is possible for a very hot air
compressor to generate CO (I forget why). The other system is called
the HobbyAir and appears to be a small turbine which flows air through a
separate hose to a face mask. You place the pump in clean air. There is
a choice of hose lengths. Eastwood also sells the HobbyAir. The prices
are in the $400 vicinity. I am facing the same situation so if you find
a more affordable approach let me know !
