Do you even NEED a paint booth?

- Is a paint booth really worth the money it costs? Vice Grip Garage seems to think so, even though Derek Bieri doesn't have one other than an inflatable temporary booth. The paintjob I recently did for Derek inspired me to record this video on the basics of how a paint booth works, and why it's necessary to have one in my personal shop and training facility. That said, a booth is NOT REQUIRED in order for paint products to properly dry and cure, and the simple truth is that you CAN get great results from painting automotive products without one. Keeping the chemistry happy is how I describe the best practice scenario I teach, and it's really as simple as that. There are TDS ( technical Data Sheets) that everyone has access to that give clues to how to make your paint happy, and this video covers alot. Thanks for watching! subscribe and share please!!!

This is me, alone with my thoughts which can be dangerous! LOL! Honestly, I took a few pages from my training and share with you some of those details. It's all about control! ( Who knew Janet Jackson was right all those years ago...? :)
Can you provide a link to the fresh air system you're showing there? Did you mean to say $500 or $50?
@@gerhardpet1 Yes, I did miss-speak! I corrected myself a little later and said $500.00 Sorry bout that! Here's the link. www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/09-00633.php?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAi6uvBhADEiwAWiyRdpMccSUEVh7dsNq-nHIlI3euRo1Cccc_4DVbQhAFFripJgpKDVKdJBoCEX0QAvD_BwE
@@paintucation Thank you! Will check it out
Thanks for the response man. Yeah I did. In hindsight my repair and blend area were too tight… at least for the course metallic. also since my primer was light I should’ve sprayed some darker color etch maybe so I didn’t have to put so many coats to cover. I ended up re shooting and blending into the 1/4 and fender. 2 light coats, easy blend flick and it looked great. Appreciate you making videos
@@gerhardpet1😊
I painted 4 cars in my 2-car garage by building a makeshift positive pressure booth using 2 x 4s and plastic sheeting, intake and exhaust filters and a 36 inch shop fan. Came out beautiful each one with almost 0 dust. Took me a day to build the booth, cost maybe $200. Oh and I put that thick paper board on the floor.
NICE!!!
I've been watching your shows on TV Since Dream Car Garage. I'm glad you are doing your own thing. Your teaching style is enthusiastic and entertaining as well as PACKED FULL of information! Thank you continuing to make content for your students and fans.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!!
I've done a car in my two car garage without a booth and it turned out great. I've also done one in the garage with a home made booth and the results were pretty much the same; the primary benefit of the booth was no overspray in the rest of the garage, and improved exhaust/ventilation. Keep em' coming Kevin!
You, sir..... understand the procedure!!
I have painted them outside and got good results. I know a guy who does that all the time. and it comes out great.
@@Mikefngaragepick a not windy day and add some extra hardener! Last guitar I did was on my apartment back porch had to do it over because a bug...twice.
I’m getting ready to paint my 71 Mach 1 and this channel is exactly what I need.
Nice. I was taken pictures of parts from my dad's 73 mach 1 351C to list n sell.
Kevin. You are a fantastic Ambassador to the industry. God bless you man.
A lot of us old heads for years, always just grabbed and splashed stuff in with our paint and eyeball mixed everything and then we wondered why we were getting solvent pop, fish eyes, other paints were frying up underneath. I had to stop myself because I was one of those old-school painters That sprayed basically lacquer, single stage enamel, etc. and then when I came into using urethane and basecoat clear coats, and even getting into some waterborn, it was a complete game changer for me. I had to completely re-educate myself and learn to not just grab and dump to actually Measure and measure correctly that way the chemicals were doing what they were meant to do and not having too much or too little of a component that needs to be exact. I’m glad you actually go through and tell these people this because most people don’t they don’t understand how important it really is. I still see a lot of guys on CZcams that use the same method that I used to use. I call it grab and glob, lol I followed you for years brother at one point in time discovery wanted to come into my shop but I could not handle it when they were trying to tell me what they wanted me to do and how they wanted me to treat my employees maybe we can get together one day in the future on a build
You helped me with mine with just the Eastwood content!
Great info! I've always been the guy to do more with less and pride myself on performing every aspect of my builds with my own two hands. Whether i already have the skill or learn on the fly, I've found that you don't always need the biggest and the best.
The only tool you NEED is the ability to learn!
Fuckin A
I painted both my nova and c/10 in my garage and they both turn out great!!!…and i never painted a car before with an actual gun…..lots of hours watching youtube and research
Ok Kevin you have inspired me to try to paint my truck, bought a 3M Accuspray system today now I'm going to beige watch your videos.
Go to www.paintucation.com and check out my other classes too.😁
🌟Great video. I've been waiting for this common sense view for a while. Subscribed 👌🏽
Great video 📹 👍
Was at 2 of your Parma classes a few years ago.
Really enjoyed them 👍💯👍
Awesome video Kevin! Love TDS sheets! One thing of many I picked up from paintucation. Love seeing more content here on YT.
Thanks Matt, just scratching the surface here.... let me know what you wanna see?!?!
Great advice. Thank you for your knowledge.
Thanks Kevin!
You hit it on the head when you said the next generation an opportunity to make things with their hands something lacking today that we need more of indeed I subscribed thank you
WOW your channel has grown since Vice grip when you guys worked together,good Kevin luck your the best.
I built a 20' long PVC pipe and plastic sheeting booth similar to yours about 5 years ago to paint a car i was flipping. I had too much in flow air and not enough exhaust air but it still worked.
Great video, I have a few take aways for my projects. Thanks for the content!
Thanks for watching!
Collaboration between you and Derek should be some good viewing. Looking forward to it!
Coming soon, this weekend I think?!?!
Great job, Kevin. I will be painting in a makeshift booth myself. Great tips.
Go for it! Think your way through..... it can be done! DO THE WORK!!!!!
Thank you Kevin.
Awesome video
Kevin you really helped me when I was building my general lee. I always appreciate how cool you are.
Pictures please!!! Happy that I could help a little!!!

Really Good Information......
I'm a hobbyist just tinkering with my Jeep (keeping it alive). Basically I just want to give painting a vehicle a go .. it's my artistic side. I don't want to paint for others, just myself. So I wouldn't be going out and buying a booth for one car! May get the bug... But I want to find a way to paint my Jeep without a booth and not get everything in my garage coated in over spray. So this is interesting, I have a plan ... But this will help, and make me adjust my plan. Thanks... The more advice you can give for us guys that aren't going to become pros, is greatly appreciated
Subscribe!!! Got a ton more coming.... This CZcams thing has got the wheels turning in my head!!!
@@paintucation awesome. Been following you for years.... Television that we get here in Canada (rare) and Instagram. Excited to see what content you come up with ... And ya, I subscribed today
@@explore_off_road AWESOME MAN!!! Thanks! You know I was born in Canada, Eh?
@@paintucation I thought I heard something about that a while back
One of the cheapest things that improved my paint jobs was simply wearing a new clean painting suit.
Hey Kevin Derek said to say hi love what you do ,subscribe today good luck keep it going mike in thailand.
Love your videos! And have been a long time fan! Keep up the good work and videos!
Thanks buddy!
Great video. I'm a body/paint guy for more than a "few" decades LOL. It's not Witchcraft!! You are always learning and growing while it provides a great life for you. It's not easy but it's rewarding!! BTW I retired in my fifties and now I just play in my shop with cars, trucks and motorcycles. If this guy can do it anyone can!!!
Preaching brother!!! Thanks for watching!
Awesome. Thanks. Chemistry is chemistry. Temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. A fan with a filter, or three and you get less overspray out. And intake filters reduce dust incoming. And no smoking.
That booth resembles my old spray tech a lot. I have painted thousands of cars in my lifetime, Kevin, and actually some of my best paint jobs have came out, not in a paint booth out in the middle of a shop floor, or in the middle of a barn not even trying, it amazes me sometimes
Like i always say, we just gotta make the paint happy! Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Done more than one car in yard and had it come out so good bank couldnt tell were it was the repair was even while looking at pics of the damage that was all along one side....now it takes alittle prep.. watering down the area...working on sunny calm day..etc..
I remember using spies heckler and standox paint which I do believe is owned by a Alta and then also for years I used Dupont centauri Imron, chroma base, etc.
I have always either used those brands or glassurit and PPG but like I’ve told anybody if you follow the TDS, you could pretty much make any paint look good you don’t always have to have the most expensive product to get an expensive looking job
Agreed... my little Miata has SUMIT RACING single stage paint, it looks great!! It's not about the paint.
I have edited this comment several times, and it keeps changing my words. I’m spelling the names of those companies correctly, but AutoCorrect keeps changing it for some reason.
@@TheHomeWrencher_1776 Stupid Computers!!!
@@paintucation Hey Kev… ya got a scammer in here…🤣
@ClickOnMyProfile275 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t understand why you people try to get people to comment and try to scam people anybody with half a brain can obviously see that you are not the owner of the channel but yet somehow somebody will still get scammed. I wish people would double check before they go clicking on thingsand ask questions if they’re not sure people like you are a disgrace to the small time CZcams channels trying to make it
Great content
Thanks man!
my grandfather built early fords and painted them all in the same barn he did all the other work. just put up plastic to keep the overspray off everything
First guy I heard that says you can use a glass cleaner!!!!!!.....good info. I use sprayway glass cleaner all the time works perfectly for pre cleaning
It needs to be the aerosol type, the pump spray has ammonia in it, I don't want that around my paint prep. Sprayway is a good option!
I love this stuff. Whatever toy can do to help us DIY
Lotsa help is coming..... what do you want to see?
@@paintucation I would love to see the progression of sand paper as you complete a repair. What to use, for filler and when to change to a finer grit.
Great information as always… Hey, by the way what’s up with the second GEN Camaros under the carport??😍😎
I’ve been a fan since trucks tv show.
Thank you!!! Thanks for watching!
Hey Kevin, I have a few of your DVD's from several years ago (welding, panels, etc.) but not one on painting. I'm hoping to be ready to paint my 93 S10 pickup by early summer. This is my first real body and paint project and the truck is in pieces right now. Since I want to do a metallic color I understand that it's better for a newbie to paint it when it's assembled but do any of your videos explain the process of how to cut in the door jambs, back of the cab, front of the bed, etc. with color and clear and then assembling everything and painting the exterior without messing up the transition from the cut in parts to the exterior? I hope the question makes sense. I haven't seen anyone address how to do that. Thanks!
Laying down your own paint job is very rewarding! Key is not to rush, I've learned that many times, identify when to stop them an issue rears it's head, and don't get frustrated and quit. Push through and keep trying. I still screw up. I maybe lay down a job every 2 years. There's always some issue that arises. Learn your products you use and gun setup is huge. Get out amd spray some 💩
Great video Kevin!
Thanks man!! Let me know what you want to see here..... I'm an open book and want to create stuff that you guys want to see. :)
@paintucation I love the "Anyone can do it!" type of stuff. That's what I do on my channel. Soon enough I'll be painting my daughter's Jeep in my home garage. It will be my second paint job and I just hope it's better than the last!
@@Mynextproject_74 I just subscribed to you!!! You're right, you get better each time..... nobody wants to hear this, but failure is the only way we actually learn. It's tough!! Chip Foose said it in an interview last year, mistakes are "NOT FAILURE...." They're how we learn what doesn't work! I love that sentiment, it's positive, and important perspective!!! Thanks for watching!!
It is all about strategy, fail to plan, plan to fail.
Messed up some fender skirts that I had painted separately, they blushed out due to the change in humidity. Since then, I record everything about the weather when I go to spray.
ive done 3 single stage paint jobs under a tarp down the bottom of the garden, through the cheapest gun with just a cheapy filter on the gun and £60 paint and they've all came out like a mirror after 1k -3k cut and buff , id probs want at least a heated garage for 2k paints though
Love the video's and in my opinion axalta has some of the best products out there
I totally agree! They have great training tools as well.
I love seeing the Miata. I sure hope you keep it for a long time.
Gonna show you guts more details on that car. Thanks!!
I got to see it up close and personal during paint, but would love deep dives into it more.
@@danielthemanual1 Your ( eclipse) dash vents are still rocking!!!! Gonna aget way more indepth, we've got a ton video'd and once we do 1 more event it's gonna be released. Stay tuned!
awesome. i love watching miata content but also learning about painting options. i forgot about building a PVC booth even for a one time job.@@paintucation
18:59 What is that front cap off of, looks like a Fairlane but could be a GTO. If Fairlane please make videos of it.
what do you think of those blow up paint booths they seem kind of neat and easy to use
Ya know, every paint job, except one, that I have done outdoors has been really good and free of crap. Exception was when I painted my 74 Camaro yellow 14 years ago, some little bugs decided it was a big flower.
I've had a bunch of bugs do their "last march of death" in fresh paint... it aint good! LOL!
I guess you like that particular year of Camaro in your car port.
I have a buddy of mine who had that year of Camaro and regularly beat big block cars with his 2 barrel 350 engine car back in the 80's
those were the days when you could still get a decent car and beat others ones while racing it.
Subbed to you. I hope to get to painting in the future on my channel.
Go for it!
@paintucation I'm going to try it on this subaru first. I have no money in it so if I mess it up no biggie.
@@jeffreyrigged "Mistakes are not failures.... they're messages telling us what doesn't work" Chip Foose - 2023
@paintucation that is true. I figure the cheaper car is a good way to learn. Don't want to try it on my 72.
want or need ? I painted my 57 Chevy 3100 and just recently my 69 Chevelle Ragtop in my 2 car garage. both turned out fantastic.
Dang straight!!!!! All we gotta do is be smarter than a can of paint. :)
@@paintucation lol 😂
2nd gen F bodies are a good junky mess to have….especailly that small window ‘74….here in ca. that thing is gold…if the firebird is a ‘75 or older its gold too…., but i love the ‘74s…..just put a ‘70-‘73 split bumper conversion on the front….i did an ‘71 front conversion on my ‘74 nova and only real car people can catch it!!!
Kevin i got a job for you i need my 85 chevy k20 painted 2 tone
❤❤
Same basic booth here- its a decent booth imho, my exhaust filters are rectangles on that end is only difference i see.
Oops, i dont have dual motors- your waaaay upstream from us.
The intake motor came with the air .makeup... its expensive but a great upgrade.
@@paintucation indeed, would LOVE to have make-up air / bake .
I’m in East Texas so, we don’t have a great many days where shop heat won’t keep booth at 72 but, there are some where I can’t safely shoot .
What brand is the air supplied mask you use? I've looked but cannot find a $50 one, just some for $1500
Oops.... Sorry! I watched it back and I meant to say $500.00 but i heard that I said $50.00 ( that doesnt exist) The yellow one is a Hobbyair system, right around $500.00 Sorry for the mouth flub...
Please help us find that fresh air / mask system online!
I can’t find out for anywhere close to that $ but I want to be safe.
How do I take your paint course
What are your thoughts on turbine systems vs air compressor spray setups. I have a handful of project vehicles I need to paint over the next few years. Right now I only have 110v in my garage. I've been trying to decide the best way to spend my money being I won't be painting on a regular basis.
Joe, I find that I have to compensate for the hot air with turbine systems, otherwise you get excessive texture... I know that turbines are used ALOT in portable repair business, woodworking, and other industrial applications. You'll have to experiment with reducer, maybe go above your actual air temperatures with your chemistry.... Hope this helps! KT
@@paintucation Thank you! I appreciate the advice!
Love the outro, it won't shut off. Keep some humor in your videos and we will take you seriously......;)
I've helped build a few paint booths. I do hvac, so the I've been called in to fix and help install booths. What's up with the herpes adds ?
Thank you Kevin for all the information. @ paintucation, I'm starting my own business. Kenny's restorations. I also have my own CZcams channel. Something you have not shared. And I can't find online can you use silicone to seal your booth? I know you don't want to use spray silicones because it'll cause fish eyes I hear. I appreciate it if you can get back to me on this matter thanks Kenny.
👍👍
Giant thumbs up.... where's my emoji rack? LOL!
👍 👍 👍
thanks my friend!
Let's face it, WE ALL sprayed in the garage or in the driveway at least once!!
Cleanliness is the one time that it is more important than Godliness. Lol
Pretty nice booth for not needing a booth?
My Father was a mechanic, paint and body man for 50 years. He died last year of lung cancer but before that he had pulmonary fibrosis for years. He described it like he could never catch his breath and that he felt like he was drowning. He only wore a respirator when in his pain booth. Not while welding, grinding, sanding. It caught up with him. PLEASE PROTECT YOUR EYES, EARS AND LUNGS you are not cool by not doing it.
ok
Nice to see your shooting axalta. Overall my fav solvent and water. Only gripe is the solvent metallics- course metallics for me always an issue. burned myself today. Ford JS on a new bronco- repair both doors, using white primer, had to put a lot of coats to cover, blend got bigger and bigger- tried 1 to 1 with blender did a cross hatch to try to soften sandpiling rear door and it streaked. Thought I was ok as in sun looked good but customer noticed. As u can imagination was a rough day- most likely going Into 1/4 now, f me. moving forward feel free to give some tips in similar situations
Are you doing a wet bed to into?
Thanks Kevin!
