The mask companies, 3M, North, Wilson, AO etc. all sell supplied air masks as well as respirators, for about $100. The tough part is the air supply. Conventional compressors use oil to cool and lubricate the piston(s), and some of this oil gets past the rings and into the air stream. Not good to breathe this stuff, so for a forced-air mask you need an oilless compressor too, which probably start at about $400. That has to be overkill for casual boatbuilding epoxy work. Fans would be both cheaper and more comfortable.

BTW, this is heresy, but I passed a fit test with my beard. My little joke was that the gray in it was really filtered epoxy. Drives purists nuts, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...
