2 vids in 1 week. Awesome. Cut & Buff no problem. I painted my sister's XB Fairmont Hardtop in a $200 Bunnings Gazebo.

[@daviddeakin2006]

That was a good practice run for the future . You are always going have to cut and buff . Have look at how home built by Jeff made his filters for his home made booth . His first booth was a gazebo then built a room for the second edition.

Thanks mate !

Looks like it turned out fine a little cut and buff and it'll be great thumbs up👍👍

great trial run , wax a grease wipe on wipe off with clean lint free rags , good though blow , then wax a grease 2 X more, ,, new filters always need some time running to get the loose fibers out 2 Hr.s then ready for use , Good outcome for first time ,👍👍

Thanks alot Shane !

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I think for your first go Tom it has turned out pretty good It may have been sucking stuff in from the air pump did that have a filter on the intake I spray in my shed a few times a year and always get little bits in the paint and between clear or solid colour The visibility get diminished real quick you do need a strong suck out system Howard astil has a very good video showing how he built his filter system and before I do my next paint job I will be building something similar Also I find I have been using Protec for about 20 years now and it’s now ppg I’m using and with mixing I aways put a splash more thinners , not quite 10% and I find it always goes on real nice and lays down real nice with minimal orange peal but you do have oto be careful of runs And the paint is a three part system wet on wet usually primer base and clear well that’s how I do it But I still think it turns out pretty good 👍👍

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Thanks David, yeah the booth has a filter on the inlet as well and the outlet. I think i will get an extraction fan setup for the outlet next time, and also be more careful on prep and tac rag etc

Great job 😊.

[@adrianmarsh30]

The crap could be over spray that was hanging around in the booth that falls back onto the car. I sprayed my bonnet in a closed shed and it felt like sand paper afterwards. good job thou. Keep up the good work.

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Great point Adrian

[@123nlusky]

Hey mate, i once asked a painter to do a quick spray job on my first car. He sprayed the car in an old tin shed with my dodgy compressor. All he did was wet the floor of the shed with a garden hose and kinked the air hose in his hand to control pressure? It was one of the best spray jobs i had seen anywhere 🤷‍♂️ So i dont know but anything is possible.

[@phatridesgarage3760]

yeah I get it mate, I have done spray jobs in my garage before and always did the same thing, hosed off the floor etc, and the jobs came out great. This booth was the first time using it, and Im not sure I would use it again. For a start its not sucking the air out, its blowing air in

[@russelblackwell6041]

Well done Tom i presume you will paint the fords in it too, so money well spent and its portable

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Yeah thanks Russell still better than nothing i reackon

[@rustynutts2]

Did you tack rag the car before paint. I also use a filter in the spray pot and maybe you needed to filter the incoming air to the booth. I have wondered myself how good these inflatable booths are and with some tweeking it could be fine the the odd job. Love ya work and ya vids.

[@phatridesgarage3760]

didnt tac rag it no, will do it next time, cheers mate

[@GeoffNairn]

Look pretty good. I was thinking the same wheather its worth the investment in the booth? 13:25

Hi KC , thanks for asking, There has been a combination of things, 1st Ive had to made some layoffs with the crane business due to a downturn in work, they just havnt been selling enough new home build this year, this meant Ive had to step in and drive cranes full time, and its been exhusting, plus Im still stuck with the electrics on the coupe, had an auto electrician anaylise it but seems that the cumputers are not communication with each other, so problems may lay within the wiring loom due to the extensions ive made. I want to make the videos but just havnt had the content. I hope this resolves soon .

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

@phatridesgarage3760 ok got ya, that's sad 😔, hope it all turns around. It's good to hear from you, and understand bugger, hope it all works out for ya Tom, all the best Cheers 🍻 🇦🇺🦘🪃🏔🍻

[@WesW3187]

I’ve never used one, but I would if I couldn’t afford anything better - and I can’t 😂.

[@michaelnoyes4817]

Don't be too hard on yourself mate, the main thing is you got in and done it yourself, did you use a tack cloth, did you tack off your masked up area's with air?

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Na no tack cloth ) just wiped down and blown off, but it was only really the bonnet that got the major crap in it the rest was same as you would normally expect, so maybe it blew some stuff up from around the cowl

[@GeeenJ]

even high end paint booths you still get some rubbish in the paint no system is perfect we spray in the shed and when we sand it and buff most of the rubbish is gone

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Thanks mate, I thought that may be the case but wasnt sure

[@andrewhilder5068]

Maybe have done the old wet the floor down to trap the dust that’s not made it to filter

[@danamg9328]

Booth doesn't seem like a bad idea, but every booth i have ever seen, even the home made ones, sucks air out instead of blowing it in. Wouldn't be surprised if that duct was blowing crap in your paint, even though it has a filter. If you could figure out a way to reverse the airflow it might work better as long as it doesn't pull the walls in too much.

[@phatridesgarage3760]

I will get an extraction fan setup for the outlet next time, and also be more careful on prep and tac rag etc

[@briankay3380]

G’day mate, I am one who suggested the “Inflatable Pain Booth” having seen same on a yank Vidio. But noticed there was a blue blower duct at 4:21/13:25 on the far side of the tent you did not put a lower on? Did you need more air movement to stop trash, just sayin!😂😢😅

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Yeah there is a vent there, but i only had 2 blowers , one to hold the booth up and one for airflow. I chose to use the one putting airflow into the booth at the top, the one at the bottom could be used i guess if you had a 3rd blower, but it would just be blowing along the bottom of one side of the booth. What I need is to put an extraction fan up the front where the filter windows are i think

Looks like half a chance, weigh up the cost, if it needs cutting and buffing maybe the booth put you back a couple of grand?

Hey Tom, where are you at? Are you alright?

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Hi, Im ok and thanks for asking, I have had to step back into full time crane operations and Im about to get a double hernia operation in Decmeber, so I have had no time or energy to put into the cars or content, it wasnt planned but unfortunitly it was required to keep the crane business running. hope 2025 will change things amd I can get back into my cars and move away from cranes!

@@phatridesgarage3760 Yeah, right; your health and business is extra important and without either, building cars would be difficult if not impossible. Look after yourself mate.
