- We have less than a week to get my 1967 Chevy C10 running and driving so that we can cruise it to MRC Fabrication in Kernersville, North Carolina. We are going to drive it there on Sunday March 7th to go check out the progress on my 1961 Cadillac Coupe DeVill. You guys are welcome to meet us there if you want. The address is 616 Indeneer Drive, Kernersville, NC 27284.
We are going to upload several videos to the channel this week and those videos have been made possible by the good folks at Wire Care. Wire Care distributes everything you need to wire and plumb your hot rod, muscle car, truck, drift car or tricycle and we are using everything from battery cable to heat shielding products during the thrash to finish my C10.

New intro is pretty slick! Do whatever you gotta do to add Editor Chris to the team permanently
Finnegan - I just want to say thank you, about 6 years ago I took on a fairly large project vehicle after my grandpa passed, I rebuilt the drivetrain from the ground up, refinished the engine bay.. learned a lot despite being a car guy well before that. Since then I'm been getting projects and just tinkering and like to think of myself as someone that knows a pretty decent bit about vehicles, but I learn something new in every single one of your videos. I appreciate that and I appreciate your down to earth approach with sharing knowledge and processes. It helps a lot of us that do enjoy cars, but maybe have not had as much experience or have not been exposed to as many projects as someone such as yourself. So thank you!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
Finn's neighbors:
"Oh dear god now what!" 🤣
I think they might say "atleast it's only paint, not a hotrod starting at 2am"
It’s funny, his neighbor seems down with it all lol
I’m pretty sure his brother is his neighbour.
@@joelclancy3776 I think his brother is close, but not that house. That guy has been there since he moved in. Remember, he had that corvette buried in his garage. He has been in a couple videos, and helped surprise Finn’s wife with the ‘burban.
"Well, at least it's not a blown big block getting tested I guess...." :)
It sucks the way the wind suddenly picks up as soon as you try to hang some poly sheeting (or similar) but I'm relieved to see it actually happen to someone else. I always thought I was cursed and it only ever happened to me (every single bloody time!!)
Every time I unroll an airless hose, or air hose for my conventional gun, the wind blows. I was a pro building painter for 17+ years.
I had an idea like this 20 years ago but the wind in Okla will humble you quickly.
LOL, I thought they were kidding when they said they are going to rattle can it.
Ive done this before i recommend wetting the floor to help make over spray stick to the floor rathing than floati g back on to the project extremely huge fan from years ago love all show!!!!
Just a suggestion guys but you should turn the fan around so there is positive pressure in the booth. Keeps dust from getting in throught the gaps.
Came here for this same comment.
Spray booths dont work like that you end up with over spray on everyting leaving a bad finish it needs to be negative pressure so all that is pulled down to the exhaust even with setup the amount of dust would have been tiny compared to the problems a postive pressure setup would have caused
This is why i like you.... You spend 10 years working on a truck then get a date set for something cool so you finish it in 5 days when we all know it had a solid year left of work.. I am the same person, i have sat around for 6 months with "gotta build my 4 link" on my mind. now that summer is a month away, ima have it done in a week.
really needed those paint can attachments that give you a plastic handle to squeeze to spray
After painting endlessly on my project, my finger was numb for almost a month afterwards. Can confirm those attachments are a lifesaver
For those considering building a paint booth like this in your garage by hanging up plastic, it works great - ONCE. If you use the same plastic again, it will drop flecks of dried paint onto your new paint job if the plastic flexes even a little. You have to use all new plastic every time you want to spray color. It is generally OK to use the same plastic if you are spraying primer because it is still in a phase that it is easy to fix, but any time you are spraying color or clear you need to use new plastic to avoid getting garbage on your new paint job.
Have drop cloths always been expensive? I bought some months ago and felt it cost altogether too much!
after 10+ years of being unfinished, your going to finish the truck in 5 days to drive to north carolina...
because roadkill
prob sell it after a few months as well.
Then buy it back again 10 years later
stay the hell out of N.C.
LOL
My Grandpa taught me this same thing, dirt floor under awning and plastic wrapped around, then just wet the floor down lightly and go to town! Nice job can't wait to see the rest!
For everybody who wants to do try using a makeshift paint booth like this: You want OVERpressure in the paintbooth to avoid dirt and dust beeing sucked into the booth. So it may be better to install a box fan that sucks the air out plus a bigger one (or two) to blow fresh air from the outside into the booth. Place the blowers opposite to the sucking fan. Those need filters too of course plus they should be installed some what higher off the ground. Use a table outside the booth to support them.
This is of course not overly critical if you are just priming with rattle cans or the like, but if we are talking of painting the car e.g. with a paint gun:
Do it! It's only an additional fan or two.
Basically the walls of the paint booth always need to bulge out.
We all thought you were going to paint the whole truck. 😂
"hole truck"
I’ve painted many trucks motorcycles and cars in my driveway under my carport and they turned out good.
My 76 C10 is soaking up room in my shop, waiting for me to do the metal work, finish the 6.0 install, notch the frame a little bit, change the leafs, flip the axle and make it a driver again. I could do it in five days.. but I am old and its cold out there in the shop, part of the problem with living in the north. Yes I own my shop now... and is glorious.
After the second wife got the second house and garage in the second divorce, I bought some land full of trees in the middle of nowhere for dirt cheap. Then I cleared some of the trees and used them as the poles to hold the roof trusses up, poured some concrete and built a 32x48x12 shop for less than $18k.. and its overbuilt with 8" to 14" diameter logs holding the roof up. Sheeted with 5/8 OSB and then roofing steel, some foam board insulation on the bottom of the trusses, and boom I had a place to work on my junk. Started in July put the sliding door up the second week of November. Thats a lot of work for one guy who hired three guys to help with the slab, and two guys to help with the roof, but did everything else.
Then I put three shipping containers together and lived in that for 5 years. Priorities.. Two years ago I reconfigured the containers from a 460sqft room to a 1050 sqft two story with a loft slightly bigger room on a concrete pillar foundation sitting on bedrock.
I can paint my cars and truck easily, along with doing everything else I need to do while rebuilding them, and I splurged on a lift for the shop. Perhaps this year I can get running water in the house for the first time since 2013. Priorities.. and I am off to the gym to take a shower, do some laundry and buy more wood pellets to heat this place. I rattle can painted my 70 GTO in the parking lot of my apartment building in Charleston SC when I was stationed down there in the early 2000s.
Loving the new title card 👍🤘
To paint a car with no money I'd buy a $20 electric paint sprayer for home interior walls and a $80 can of Walmart auto paint then cut and buff the swirls and orange peel out once the paint has dried
Lol. Roll it on, wet on wet bahahaha
I’ve done a lot of custom paint jobs and about 90 percent have been In a driveway or small garage. Painted everyday in a 20x18 garage and used box fans and filters. Works great. Long as the epa leaves you alone it’s all good. Always can buff out any knibs or dust
This is how I turn my garage into a paint booth. I’ve painted our kitchen cabinets that I built and multiple different projects from car parts to all the woodworking projects I’ve built.
That's a lot of work and expense just to rattle can paint the little you did. I figured with the network of dudes you know , someone would come spray your stuff with decent paint in a pro way.
Waste of time priming with rattle can primer cos it has no activator so will sink/sweat. Should have used a good 2pack primer.
About time this truck gets some love. I’ve been waiting like 10 years for this to get its shot and finally get finished 😂
6 meter x 3 meter wedding marquees work fantastic as a spray booth
First step, be rich. Then everything is easy and everyone can do it. Thanks for this educational how to video
Sounds like what I did in my dad's garage when painting my new jeep frame after getting it hot dipped. we covered the door and raised it to the height of a row of box fans and a window opposite the door open with plastic lined under and up the sides hanging off the garage door rails. Worked great.
Love the fact you finishing up the truck. Hate the rush. Please don't cut any corners
Love it!!! Although a cheap harbor spray gun and a quart of epoxy primer from the local painter supply would have been even more win! (not a big fan of that rustoleum oil based stuff)
I was thinking the same. Why the rattle cans?
Right I thought the same thing.
I had the exact same thought
SEM paint is much better rust oleum seems to have issues most times I have used it
@@robholmes2129
Its definitely better, if you use etch wipes it’s almost good, but not quite. I have a feeling this truck will be stripped and painted properly sometime down the road.
Like the look of the new intro, just need the engine rev audio back. That sound has always meant get ready for Finnegan to me!!😎🏁
And the head banging music too
Very smart paint booth idea
I did mine there during lockdown week! Welded up some rust and then coated all the front end with bitumen based paint before painting the bonnet and front quarters!
Paint booths are a positive pressure environment, not negative like you have it set up.
I did this and painted my daughters car. I wet the floor, use super high gloss enamel from Dulux Canadian paint supplier and airless sprayer. It looks amazing. So no rattle cans and its 1998 Vw beetle.
I've been waiting a long dam time for that truck to run and drive ! I can't wait !!!😀
Michelle @ wirecare is a rockstar!
You've got the compressor, just go buy a detail gun and use proper primer
Thank you for adding the out takes. It just shows how real and down to earth you are 😎🙈👍
I do a bunch of painting in my 12 man Coleman tent it's easy to set up and take down I cover the bottom with a bunch of damp canvas tarps I pressure wash afterwards an I use a square House Fan with 2 AC filters 1 in the tent window and 1 on the fan. My last paint project was the restoration of a Ford tractor
Turn the fan around so that you're blowing filtered air into the booth, you don't want to bring unfiltered air in. Did my truck in the carport once, came out good.
Me and my dad used to built pop up paint booths like this when i was a kid lol got good at it 🤣
I had a similar setup in my garage. I used dollar store vinyl drape sheets with a box fan and a filter. Filter got clogged within 5 minutes of me starting to spray so I ditched it. Ended up creating a mini hole in the ozone above my house but it worked. It was nice being able to spray clear and having the ability to see without a cloud of paint dust.
More outtakes! Awesome progress!
I can see this working out fantastically in a typical Oklahoma day!
Did practically the same thing 25 years ago in my garage, except with only clear plastic and for less than $10, to paint my friends S10. It came out really well
Great idea on a paint book. I wasn't sure, but WOW it worked out great.!!!
Nice win guys..I have fone the same to paint motorcycle bodywork..base coat,clearcoat complete with cheap ass harbor freight paint gun comes out mint everytime.
This video coming in clutch. Just started getting warm in Michigan and I'm about to attempt to paint my 95 S10 come spring but no garage.
Chase, see my comment before trying this at home... lol...
@@dannywilsher4165 Ok so what your saying is a fan sucking air in with a filter of the makeshift booth so it traps the dirt/dust your bring in. Then one on the other end or side/sides with a filter collecting all the stuff you are spraying . Am I on the right track with that or way off?
We made one out of PVC pipe and some plastic, it's not that hard to do and it's pretty handy.
A
Don't glue many of the pipe fittings , that way you can take it apart when it's not being used.
@@chasejones3456 Yes sir, totally correct. If the only air entering the booth is filtered, and you have positive air pressure in the booth, no contamination can enter the booth and destroy your paint job. And you have to have somewhere for the air to exit and with a filter on the exit, it will trap most of the paint and fumes before they get back into the atmosphere. I have built several booths with this system and it is also the way professional booths are built. Positive pressure because negative sucks!!! lol...
I've been following this build for ever!!! Love it Mike!!
Mike that pop up tent should be your everyday carry. Dragweek, roadkill and all the adventures you might should start bringing one along.🤔🤣🤣
When I did this, I used two industrial fans used for drying out the interior of Homes after a Flood, one in each corner of the back wall with a AC filter taped in place. In the upper corners of the front, entry wall, I had two regular box fans with again, AC filters duct taped in place.
“The Martian” movie came to mind with the plastic walls, waiting for the wind to blow it down. Great idea guys. Can’t wait to see it on the road in 5 days.
You Guy's ROCK. Waiting for better weather to do a Suspension/Resto/Rebuild on my brothers car. Think I shall copy this just on a smaller scale. Rattle Can Party works.
I'm excited for you to finally drive the c10. Been watching for years waiting to see the outcome.
Mike I Painted My Box Trucks Outside Other Than A Few Ants It Came Out Good. LOL
I have been thinking the last year “I wonder if Finnegenn is ever going to finish the c10” and now her we go. 👍🏁
Yup, more and more tempted to try this for the Thunderbird basic spray job
I often thought about doing the same to shape and glass surfboards!
Did a similar thing inside the shop with rope ran wall to wall and painter plastic for floor wall and ceiling. Used cheapy .99cent filters and the 14.99 box fan from Wal-Mart. Worked as well as yours but was inside and temp controlled.
Awesome job guys!
I remember seeing the post on Instagram, you drop these videos fast 👍🏼
Always great work! Truck is comin out great man
Loving how much Dave Matthews has been helping out.
Shit I thought that was Aaron Lewis😄
A nice tip is to do the first coat one way and do the second one the other way (say first horizontal then vertical) this helps to avoid the tiger stripping efect
Well it worked. And it is under coated.👍
Great job 👏
Dude! That pop up spray booth is legit!
I painted a Suburban in my driveway, under a tent, with the finest enamel Tractor Supply carries. You do what you have to do.........
c-mon mike.. Steve painted the duster outside of his barn/shop lol.. always good content man..
I'll have to see it to believe it ! But I think your team will pull this off. Mike and Dave's excellent adventure.
Assmosphere is a technical term for the smell that emits from pushing up and down on the driver's seat of an old truck.
Love the new intro and the bloopers are great keep it up loving it and now I need to go build a paint booth....
I wish I had a cool neighbor like Finnegan.
Mine just lock themselves in there houses and act like I'm the crazy one because I pull my engine out in my driveway.
Shop coming soon tho!!
The structure of the popup looks to work really well for hanging parts... neato
Love the outtakes
I like the new intro. And the temporary paint booth nice 👍
So glad you did this, I have seen post photos of it before and was planning to do something similar for my upcoming paint job on my roadster pickup.
Nice.... The fans and filters are the way everyone does it. Told ya you on IG should have called. 10X20 full sides with windows. $99 bucks last year from Wally World delivered to my front door. Mines is not so white anymore. Painted the Hardbody Nissan.
The easy up shelter makes this job quite a bit easier than building a paint booth out of stud lumber but and tarps and plastic sheeting. That said what I don't understand if you went to the trouble to build a temporary paint booth why not use a paint gun instead of rattle cans. I purchased a paint gun from Horror Freight and while I would not use it to shoot color on my cars or trucks it certainly works just fine for epoxy primers and or sealers and doesn't do a bad job for painting things like shop equipment purchased at auction.
About 10 years ago we did almost the same exact thing in my back yard but we used 2 car fans from pullapart for the vent it turned out pretty good lol !
one day I might be able to meet you thanks for your video work
Your best one yet.
The c10 will love this
Finally this truck is going to get finished I was literally in high school when you first got it back
looking good... progress makes life better
I also did this in my garage and one thing that I did was instead of buying an easy up I made a structure out of PVC tubing.
You should have the booth be positive pressure not negative pressure like you did. You should have two filtered fans blowing in and one filtered fan blowing out so that air will want to escape from all the little cracks and edges. With a negative pressure room like you built air will suck in from every crack and seam giving you less control of your environment. Other than that looks great, a little over kill for rattle cans but great.
Other than my family and friends that still live in Orange County CA. I Really miss all of the swap meets in California and the one that Mike talked about in Costa Mesa is a pretty big one at least it was the last time I went. I started going to swap meets back when they where held at a drive-in. Where I live now they don't have anything like that at all and the yard sales are all baby clothes and women's stuff. Just tip about rattle can spray painting that looks like a rustoleum spray can that Newburn is using . At the Home Depot they sell a trigger that just slips onto the top and it makes life a Whole lot easier.
Please everybody push like, so Mike can get more often sponsors so we all have more content!
Can't wait to see this C10 finished and running on its own power.🖒
Awesome work guys...
Loving the outtakes, never lose those
I did a similar thing when I bought back my totaled car from an insurance company. I bought a $40 foldable shelter from Walmart, wrapped it in cling-wrap, put two box-fans on one side, and painted my body panels w/ Harbor Freight painting hardware. Even returned the shelter when I was done! But to be fair, some of the fabric was ripping apart during the initial setup, so it was going back anyways.
P.S. That primer you're using, DO NOT USE DEGREASER TO CLEAN IT!!! I used the same stuff with my front fender, and it literally turned the primer into a syrup-like substance. Took two hours to clean off.
That was a great idea with the tape, Dave! That worked awesome!
So professional non-professional keep up the good work you guys
I've tried the washables, but I like the 20x20" Ace Hardware "Basic" pleated furnace filters for my makeshift air scrubbers/ paint booths 😉 they flow great, filter great, are pretty cheap, and disposable for quick change outs 👍
It just gets better and better
You should make it positive pressure next time instead of negative pressure. It will keep dust and bugs from being sucked into the booth from outside.
Gonna be hopefully putting my '60 GMC cab in epoxy this summer so this video really helps. Thanks, Finn!
Good deal!!! Thanks for the daily uploads!! Gotta get to more uploads meself....... if you lookin for vids cut wit a machete
Finally someone being honest about how much the "fit and finsh" step really costs!!! I tell guys that's why there's thousands of projects that just need paint and bodywork online!
Y'all are crazy love it greatest paint booth ever
Badass Mike! I’ve been thinking of paint my car at home. You just inspired me to do so.
Love the outtakes. Looks awesome!
