So good news, providing you are not over spraying you actually won't really need a facemask all the time.

Second thing is good new fellow beard lover! If you wear a dustask and it does not make a seal, your beast actually acts as a filter. And if you don't want that, just get a bandana and go bank robber and make a mask, works the same way.

If you are talking about rattle can, just don't spray into the wind and you will be fine

Hail! I will definitely try that. I haven't ever airbrushed at all before so I didn't really have any idea as to what I'd need as far as PPE for starting but I will probably just go with the dustmask for now and see how that goes. Most of the pieces I'll be doing are small...I have to admit I do enjoy painting 40K but I don't actually play the game. I also paint Dungeons and Dragons miniatures and am mainly looking into the airbrush for painting Gunpla, which will be a lot of small pieces held up by alligator clips on sticks, stuck into some styrofoam.

Sticky tack also is a good send for airbrushing

And I've got a pretty feral beard going. That mask seems to seal pretty well, it passes the 'block and inhale' test well enough.

Personaly for any spray painting (this includes airbrush) my PPE views are as follows:

Outdoor spraying with the wind or a spray booth, mask if you’re inside or in an area where you’re protected from the wind, surgical style gloves because overspray happens and to get full coverage you’ll NEED to hold it in your hands which means you’ll want to be as close to barehanded for maximum dexterity, and sacrificial plywood/cardboard/newspaper/etc. otherwise overspray WILL hit something that will make someone angry.
