Are your lungs worth the price of a new pair of cartridges? Why take a chance? I personally use a supplied air system when shooting catalyzed paint. Years ago DuPont killed something like 30 or 50k people in a place in India that I think made the isocyanate that is the hardener due to some huge spill. It is a hassle with the supplied air because you have another hose to deal with but I try to protect my health. I believe you can get good 3M cartridges that will suffice but air can leak in around where it seals by your nose. Your autobody supply store should have what you need. You spent the money well.
Just looked it up, Bhopal India disaster 16k died. My memory isn't so good.
