Hey mate,
I used to be a spray painter for 6yrs in New zealand and S.Africa, I sprayed every day without a mask, and deliberately so. My days went so fast(flew by), one minute it was lunch time, the next minute it was home time. I was hooked on the sweet smell of the 2 pac paints, regardless of them being an isosyanate. I knew the harm of Isosyanates, and disregarded the warnings. I was found one day in the booth collapsed on the floor, caughing up blood. It takes 7yrs for the toxins and residues to leave your system, fresh cells will then regrow. I know all this because of what I had already gone through and all the professional advice given after.
Don't be scared of spraying 2pac, it takes along time for any effects to take place. The minimum precautions you should take is to at least cover all your skin with tight weave clothing and a good respirator type mask. I should take my advice sometimes, I still spray outdoors with no protection at all. I just make sure I'm behind a breeze. The problem with Isocyanate based paints is not only breathing in the fumes, but the Isocyanates getting into your system as easily as breathing in via your skin pores. I just resprayed my car last weekend taking a chance, and wouldn't advise it without taking at least the minimum precautions.
Tyvec make a disposable spray suit, as well as 3M and a few other companies. These are very cheap and well worth getting, they keep any fibres from your clothes from contaminating your sprayed surface. Of the 5 spray boothes I worked, only 1 of them had a seperate air fed spray suit and head mask.
Good luck with your spraying mate...
Go for it and enjoy.
Ciaran
