Wouldn’t applying any kind of dyes or paints to N95 type masks weaken their effectiveness? Isn’t it possible that saturating a mask with these kinds of particles could compromise the effectiveness (I recall reading the effectiveness is compromised in very high humidity conditions I think).
Anyone have any papers or reading on this? Obviously even a compromised (K)N-95 would be better than nothing but might be better to wear something cloth that’s been colored instead over it?
Yeah paint would permanently break the filter of a mask. Also you’d probably be breathing the paint particles which can’t be healthy lol. But the mask in the picture looks like it was bought in that colour.

You can get kn95s in all sorts of colors. N95s are a bit harder and I would recommend a cloth covering.
