[@mcburket]

I'd rather watch someone who makes mistakes and can fix them than an edited video. I make lots of them (mistakes). Thanks for sharing your solutions.

[@Andy351c]

I agree 100%. We learn from the mistakes.

[@traviskoa]

I agree. An old time painter once told me years ago. It's not about how bad ass of a painter you are It's about if you know how to fix the problem 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@HESS50102MUSTANG]

Great job… the hood looks like a different color to me

[@tccrae662]

I am 61 years old and, just getting started with paint and body. I have been told that the difference between a good painter and bad painter is that”a good painter knows how to fix their mistakes!

[@alk3myst]

I agree so many videos (not just paint related), you can see a mistake and then all of the sudden it's fixed; yet the poster never talks about it.

[@mikecoggins2240]

I'm new to the channel. I'm in a different line of business but I can tell you that people really, truly appreciate the openness, honesty and transparency you exhibited in this video. You are a model for all businesses. GOD bless you...And your brother in law better be super-appreciative for all the effort and money you put into this project to make it right. You must really love your sister

[@CalinDee]

Contamination is a massive pain in the sphincter! I spent 13 years painting new cars - the lengths they go to in order to prevent any contamination getting into the shop is truly next level. Fish eye breakouts caused a veritable shitstorm! QA scientists cutting out fisheyes taking it to the internal lab and scanning them to determine the cause, working directly with PPG in some cases where it was found to be reactions between films (eg. primer > base reactions). Serious attention to detail on cleanliness within the paintshop - only clean overalls in the shop, entry exit through clean room air washes - both at the entry to the shop then to each and every booth. The money they were spending on prepsol and the microfibre cleaning rags and tack rags used to ensure the panels were absolutely clean before each coating mustve been phenomenal - bloody glad I wasnt paying for it! 😀 Full downdraft booths, 6 feet above constantly running water - the best of the best!

[@make-it-work4u]

When bleeding water and contamination from an air line you have to remove the quick connect and let the full volume of air thru the line, your spray gun orifice will not move enough air to get residual moisture and/or oil from your hose. If you have oil for sure in your hose pour a degreaser in the hose and flush it with full volume of air👍

[@67scout73]

This is an excellent video. I don't paint vehicles, or anything else for that matter, but I love to learn while being entertained. Thank you.

[@danielsmlth389]

Keep anything with silicon in it out of the shop days before you paint if it settles on the car you WILL have this reaction. No problem when he changed booths 👍👍

[@jimprovax6846]

Thanks for taking us along. What an adventure. Funny you mentioned painting in your parents garage. Brings back some good memories. Back in the lacquer days. Glad everything worked out. Hope your brother in law appreciates all the effort. You’re a good man. Enjoy your evening.

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks for watching! I can tell you watched it fully and for that i thank you

[@andrewhigdon8346]

When I first started painting in my garage, I was getting tiny fish eyes all the time, especially on horizontal surfaces. Finally, the lady at the paint shop told me to eliminate ALL petroleum based products from the space. And she followed that up by saying EVERYTHING HAS GOT TO GO. She even said to not store it outside in a place which could contaminate the air coming into the space through the compressor. Even closed bottles. She said that when we move air in a space, and even worse when we are spraying, we are unknowingly kicking dusty air up and into our intake on our compressor. She told me that particulates of these products can make their way into the air being sucked into the compressor and water separators or filters might not catch it. In other words, do EVERYTHING you can to remove ANY chance of petroleum products in your paint space or in the area around the paint space. Guess what, I did that, and haven’t had one single fish eye since then. The proof is in the pudding. So what if the whole car having some petroleum products all under it and in the engine compartment? Don’t just mask the wheels. Makes the wheelwells. And mask the engine compartment by way of every hood gap and the cowl area and grille as well. Then, mask to the floor, as simply the movement of air from spraying will kick up oils that could be on your drivetrain under the vehicle. It worked for me. Honestly, at first I thought she was full of crap. I was wrong. At that, I’ve NEVER heard any other giver of advice even mention such an issue. No one. Ever. How could this be? And how could this be while she was so right? Take heed brethren, the open mind gathers facts as well as fiction. Learn to filter the fiction as your oil and water separators do, and what’s left is the good stuff. For the record, our man Brian here is by far the best I can find about having accurate info. Top notch. It may have been the fact that the rig simply wasn’t “broken in” enough to remove residual coatings meant to preserve the various products while they sit in a hot and humid warehouse somewhere, or even on the ship going across the ocean. Humid much? Also, I’m in Charleston, just as humid as FLA. it gets old, but compared to a dusty desert barren of our naturally beautiful wetlands, I’m not going anywhere. I have to use a dehumidifier in my garage for a couple of days before spraying and I put great effort into keeping the space closed up to keep outside humid air outside. Problem is that the dehumidifier makes heat, so the air conditioner needs to run, which means the filters need to be changed almost all the time. It’s a cycle but with discipline can be beat. So, you said you wanted to paint your car yourself? Get ready for heartache and failure. It will happen. Be ready to persevere and know when to stop and reconsider alternatives. Been there, done that. My dad just got his. 2018 Expedition back from the shop after a front end collision rebuild. The paint work looks top notch. Panel alignment was ….not good. To me, the mechanical parts are cake compared to grasping all of the chemistry and physics involved with paintwork. Not for the faint of heart or the cash poor. In fact, I had a recent project take almost a year because of cash, space, time, and failure issues . It was an ongoing nightmare which met my tenacity and desire for a good product. I f’ing sanded that damned Mercedes ML320 hood to bare metal more times than I kept track of.

[@pauledmundson8132]

Great to see somebody having a terrible result and then fixing it. Real world. Sometimes mistakes are better learning experiences than classroom teaching. You showed way more patience than I would have. Good job, car looks nice.

[@bradhoward6511]

Great job Brian. To me the previous problem looked like a case of solvent popping. Not enough time and air movement for the solvent to evaporate out between coats. Keep up the good work.

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ThurgoodJenkinz]

Solvent pop is tiny bubbles, not separation. That was contamination for the compressor/ air line. He put in exactly what he needed.

[@Senick]

Looks fantastic man, thanks for showing us that you are human and how to pick up a fumble and run with it. Props 👍

[@PaintSociety]

I appreciate that!

[@W2LTA]

Fish eyes is contamination, if the circle top has a rough edge its solvent entrapment. My opinion as an inspector. Great videos learning a lot as I normally use airless.

[@PCMenten]

You had a big collection of goobers on the door. I think that is where you started spraying on the first paint job. Something left inside of the plumbing of your air system. Maybe the thing to do is to run some paint on something safe before you jump into a project.

[@Nathan-Kyles]

Man, honestly I have learned a ton from your videos, and a lot more from these two! What little I paint, is in a home garage, and now I'm 100% sure that most of my problems have been from not letting everything flash out! Thanks, sincerely. Also, there for a minute, you were like me, and it looked like maybe you WERE overthinking it! 😂

[@bradreily1025]

My boss has always told me if you're not messing up from time to time then you're probably not working hard enough. I have loved your videos since day one, especially your "Don't over think it, it's just paint" slogan. Hope you keep putting out quality info, it's nice to learn from real people.

[@StageShout]

I bought a GorrillasPro Paint booth exactly like this one. I’ve painted 3 cars in this booth. The first car I got fish eyes knowing full well that everything was very clean and filtered. After many hours of testing with small parts I found that normal drying times between coats was not enough. I was going to comment on your first video but figured you would find out the issue. Bottom line is this: You will get awesome paint jobs out of this booth BUT…..you have to wait 1 hour between coats. ALL COATS. Even your clear. If you don’t, you will have issues that may require a full redo. I’m confident that your issues were the same as mine. Solvent trap and solvent fish eyes due to not waiting long enough cure times between coats. This booth requires a lot longer time between coats. If you do that, you’ll be good to go. When I saw your first video….I literally laughed out loud because I had gone through the exact same this with the exact same booth. Glad you figured it out. And by the way, I was using a Fuji Spray HVLP scroll system and knew there was no moisture. It’s the booth. Just start letting it dry a lot longer between coats.

[@khalid95eG]

If it was dry time issue it wouldnt have just been on some places in panels it would be all over all panels...

[@StageShout]

@khalid95eG it depends on how each coat was applied on the part. Outgassing takes two things...air flow and time. In my case, it was just figuring out the booth air flow for the paint to outgas properly. If you spray on top, depending on the solvent, reducer and / or paint product, you can get a solvent crater or fish eye. Or...you can get micro bubbles. The thickness over the part depends on how you sprayed that part. Secondly, air in this booth "hits" areas of the car. So some areas of the vehicle get more air than others. Simply put in my scenario it wasn't a contaminant. It was a outgassing time that needed to be extended. I used sample parts to figure it out. Spraying them normally and by the manufacture wait time between coats. When I changed the wait time to longer....instantly solved the fish eye issue. Fish eye is not always contaminants left on the part. Outgassing that is trapped becomes a contaminate because you trap it with the next coat. It can't escape. Forms a Mico bubble or...in some cased a crater.

[@khalid95eG]

@@StageShout u sure it wasnt lil bit moisture in your airline that worked its way out?

[@StageShout]

@@khalid95eG the dry time between coats fixed the issue.

[@elielanctot]

This make a lots of sense I just hade that issu I builded paint booth in the shop and I can tel you it's very air tight but I hade a job lined up and didn't install my proper air blower system and use a regular 20" shop fan for that job and that happened.. I used to back yard painting and get awesome result but the air flow is constant 😂

[@Mitchbaz93]

as a sprayer myself for the passed 11 years i totally knew how you felt when it came to round 2, i spray a lot at home and it's a totally different game compared to a booth, time is key. i let everything flash longer then i normally would as when i've rushed at home i've always killed my jobs, mainly reactions. also your dry coat then 2 wet coats we call Grip and Rip. also i don't have room for a big blow up booth, i just build a tent with polly roll ahah

[@BlooMule]

I see a little something at 31:40, but as you stated, it's possible to polish it out. Nice work fixing the paint, that's what brought me here! too many 'perfect paint, look how easy' videos on you tube, not enough 'things went bad, this is why' videos where you learn something useful

[@PaintSociety]

Yes some dirt nibs that the camera didnt even pick up. I an trying to get away from the show off videos

[@justinallan5037]

Yep I saw that rogue fisheye too, but otherwise a great recovery from a nightmare scenario

[@waygonner]

I’m going to shamelessly copy this setup!! Thanks for taking one for the team!!!

[@dennisa7784]

Thanks for reminding me to overthink it and it's more than just paint

[@bushmancustomsuganda98]

Amazing work Brian. This comment is totally unrelated to this video but you posted a video once reviewing a cheap harbor freight gun (which I own 👀👀) and your tips on how to get a clean paint finish really helped a bunch, so just wanted to say thank you for sharing that🙏

[@Master_Lai]

In Russia, small workshops came up with the idea of using main water filters of the SL10 format to remove drops of oil and condensate from the air line. From the compressor there is a long spiral hose in which the air cools and moisture condenses, then an SL10 flask with a 5 micron polypropylene filter, but the upper part of the cartridge is sealed and the space between the flask and the cartridge is filled with silica gel. I have this done, it works perfectly and costs less than $20 in your money. I hope this will help novice painters with their own workshop. Then you can install a better system, but after 5 years I have no complaints about this surrogate. Unless you need to take high-quality flasks, otherwise they may explode)

[@bryanhenderson8413]

Thank you for your detail and creative ideas. Love to see a video on it if you get time.

[@forcedinduction_drive1975]

Awesome job Brian! Thanks for sharing the mishap and the fix. Im in the process of fixing a couple rookie mistakes myself. It sucks but it will be worth it in the long run.

[@powerofone1645]

10/10 Nailed it. Worked through the difficulties and came out trumps. Well done.

[@Thedjcodeman]

I really FELT that moment when he was sanding with the baby monitor visible on the car! LOL living that life!

[@andyb7754]

Fantastic color, love it. I'm glad it came out the way it did. I have a 3M GVP-CB PAPR system (fresh air helmet, very large expensive filters) that I used painting aircraft and vehicles. Yes, no matter what PAPR system you use is great. You only have one set of lungs! I happen to know a painter in the 80's that used a small mask in a booth and he's no longer with us (died many, many years ago). You couldn't tell the old guys anything! This was when they only had 2 types of paint and came out with a 3rd type (acrylic enamel with hardener). You do great work and make great videos. Stay safe. Thank you.

[@whatisanamelol]

Do you know the name of the colour? Listened but couldn't hear it?

[@rivenmotors7981]

love your process and explanation especially when correcting errors, thank you Brian and happy new year!

[@Andy351c]

Thanks Brian, I learned so much from this video. I think we can all benefit from learning how to fix issues when they arise, as they seem to always do to us the novice. Keep up the awesome work.

[@PaintSociety]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jonnow1234]

Thanks Brian, I've been waiting for the solution. Well done and great job.

Look into a Fisheye Filter to put at your gun. Awesome at catching anything that could make it through the base filtration. The guys behind them are very cool to deal with and the products are worth every cent.

[@trentdawg2832]

I love that color…..it is beyond BEAUTIFUL!!!…….i want to paint my tahoe or cls550 this color, the are both currently black but suffering failing clear coat😢😢😢 sad for a 2011 and 2014 vehicle

[@TomoReso]

To test if any oil is left in compressor air lines, use shiny black and clean piece of plastic or metal instead of white paper towel. Usually after 10-15 seconds you can see that fine oil mist build up which does not dry, indicating its actual oil. It would take ages to be seen on a paper towel. Just watched the whole video, it came out really good, well done :)!

[@nathansprang6909]

spray your air out on to a mirror for 60 seconds and check youll see anything thats going to be bad for you

[@TomoReso]

@@nathansprang6909 il give that a try too

[@craftyukraine]

Thank you so much for such an amazing video! I’ve been painting recently and had just a couple of craters. This situation makes me consider adding some air filters to the system.

[@autouniontypeA]

So glad you saved the paint job Brian. It's brilliant that you took us through all your steps to ensure that it didn't happen again. Congrats on another perfect job.

[@bryanhenderson8413]

Thanks so much! Also appreciate your explanation on fish eye eliminator additive.

[@stephentimpe]

Thanks, love that you tackle problems like this. Feel frustrated though... what is the upshot? We need to go out an buy expensive compressor, filtration, air heating and water removing systems? Or just take some time between coats? If the former, no need to dyi, just hand it over to professionals and give up on channels like this. Really prefer when problem solving is done by one element at a time so that we can actually learn. You solved your problem and that is great. Too bad we didn't really learn much.

[@PaintSociety]

You don’t need the air dryer just yet, but start with the three stage filtration first then light coats. That will save you on money for now

[@michaelhanewich245]

On the pre-wash....an old tutorial I found on the internet (still there) about repainting an Imperial land yacht ....they said use Joy dish soap....no residual film.

[@terrycox2063]

Thank you Brian good to know we all have these issues, i always do a dry first coat, it helps to prevent those fish eye Keep them comming

[@PaintSociety]

Yes. It works!

[@russelbarns1737]

Hey Brian, well done in the end mate. I feel sure your issue was contaminated air which Im sure has now been put right, also the dryer should go on 30 minutes at least prior to using/compressing air, left on any time your using air and could be turned off once usage has finished 👍

[@Cab895]

wow that is incredibly clean at the end. You did an amazing job, that paint is so smooth and had so little orange peel that you could probably skip any color sanding!

[@rickramsey9868]

This kind of video really helps us home painters. And boy did that come out nice. Looks like it has already been cut and buffed. As bad as it was the first time is how good the redo came out. Learned a lot. Great great job Brain.

[@kenjams]

Great video Brian. I had the fisheye problem last month on my Camaro hood. I was getting contaminants from my compressor, but also coats too thick I found is a real problem too. Applying these thin coats is a real help.

[@uncletimandtj6729]

I really have gotten hooked on your channel.I work with my good friend in his shop,and I am mostly a collision repair tech,but Im working my way to paint,I do a lot of priming,but anyway,I have learned from you guys a lot,and my buddy always agrees with all the techniques I take from here to the shop.I feel like Im definitely ready for sanding and buffing,which has always kinda intimidated me some.THANK YOU FOR THE EDUCATION AND INSPIRATION!

[@uveshramrathan9439]

I just want to thanx u for giving us these videos I've been having problems with fish eyes from as long as I can remember. Soon I tried yur method of painting I've had nun thanx u and please keep doing wat u doing. This is just pure skill and talent 🎉🎉🎉

GREAT JOB BRIAN I USE THE SAME PREP MATERIALS AND IT WORKS GREAT SMALL GARAGES MAKES THE BEST PAINTERS AND YOU ARE TOTALLY THE BEST MAN THANKS FOR THE GREAT HUMBLE MISTAKES EVERYONE IS AFRAID TO SHOW 💯

[@audilover6591]

I need to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, I finished my first solo project that included a paint job. Maybe I was to generous to choose one of the most complicated paint colors ( Selenite grey designò magno Matt) for my first project but thank to your videos and advices the end result was spectacular. Thank you so much once again.

[@mykswappedescortmk2]

I love painting. What I’ll never love is my processes before and during every single job are the same. My results aren’t and that’s so frustrating. I know that I know how to do it. I can lay down a perfect gun finish but some are spotless and others are full of dirt. I don’t have an issue with fisheyes thankfully but I have in the past and it turned out the thinner I was using was nasty recycled stuff. Changed that and haven’t had any since

[@joelnowland2196]

Great videos, thanks. There are some really nice oilless/oil free compressors out there. SCHULZ makes some nice high output piston type models. Also keeping the pressure in the lines/hoses to a minimum helps stop condensation. I keep mine at 60psi and raise the psi only when needed and I have never had moisture in my air lines. At a place I worked they kept it about 120psi in the lines around the shop and there was always water in them.

[@PhenoDubs]

I'm currently an apprentice in a dealership bodyshop with no formal background training. I'm just learning as i go and your videos have been such a help for me to get to where I need to to be faster. I'm atill a little gun shy so i just had to redo a whole driverside jamb on a car (again) because of dry spots and it's real frustrating but man does it feel good when you get the job done right and it looks darn good after

[@joebrown9288]

[@mkveevs]

So cool to see this done in your home garage. Goals!

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Great work! Keeping it real

[@donproctor4480]

Great vid. I remember the how did I and how do I get rid the fisheyes many moons ago.😂😂 a few things 1-only use water Bourne cleaner on plastic and fiberglass parts, it could cause a static fire, and it has happen, it could also cause static on parts and attract dirt to it. 2-the dryer, turn on right before you turn on your compressor, we leave ours on all time but we are a production shop, also make sure you blow it out, front to back, keeps the coils and parts from clogging up with dust and over heating and stop working. 3-that little white piece is a filter, use it. The water trap filters on top of compressor may need changing more then recommend depending on how much you use it. 4-your right, avoid using fisheye eliminator when ever possible, it may have fixed the issue with the car but wouldn’t have fixed the issue with the air and future jobs. 5-glad you were able to figure out what caused the issue, & found extra clear on the door, now you know how good it flows😂😂👍

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks for watching! I tell you having Fisheyes can really bring you down, especially when you don’t know where they’re coming from! Thanks for your tips on the dryer. I was unsure about that. That water base cleaner tip is really important. Ty for tha!

I had a nightmare fisheye issue when painting a friends car. Tried everything, cleaning, fisheye additive... turns out I had oil in the hose from years of neglect since it wasnt being used for painting and the excess oil was in the hose. Replaced the hose along with clean filter and no more issues.

[@AshsVaporeon]

Hey man! I'm a 2nd year autobody technician and I just wanted to say you might want to do your chemical wash first then your waterbase wash. Reason being is the tail solvents can take a bit to evaporate specially since your applying it right to the panel and cause you fish eye or even delamination later on.

[@ginocialone3963]

Wow What a relief uhhh buddy !!!? So you end up buff the panels or not after all ?! Great accomplished 👏 👍 👌

You kick ass and teach us.Keep it coming man

[@AnDre-tq1xr]

I have been running the centrifugal drip can like yours and then a spin on water separator filter in front of about 1 1/2 gallons of desiccant beads. I got the idea from my boat. It came with a fuel/water separator and I use the same Yamaha brand. I change the spin on filter about once a month. If I wait too long the filer will show rust and hold water that pours out when removed. Doing it's job. I have a mobile paint business for car dealerships so I am always filtering outside air. I really enjoy your videos and have employed some of your techniques...thanks.

[@santasstang8798]

One thing to note about the respirator. When you have facial hair, the longer it is, the more material is able to get in the mask. The fresh air would be a good move. Stay Safe! Keep up the great work brother!

It wasn't until I took your advice on about cleanliness and how you have to really make sure that you remove all of the debris and contaminants going to the car wash helped me and using alcohol wipes on my 4 runner and my paint job with rattle cans of all things , came out excellent only through the guidance of your videos and thank you again😊

Great video! I just painted my very first car (beetle) and I started with bare metal, I did a tri-coat pearl , I just used my 10 year old 60 gallon Recip compressor with and IR air dryer same as yours then right into my gun and I didnt have any fisheyes or contimation so I find it hard to believe that your system caused this issue because your system is WAY better than mine lol keep up the great channel. I learned so much from you and Im sure that was what made my job turn out so good. I forgot to mention , my air hoses are even old. I used a Harbor freight blackwidow gun and I had an inflatable paint booth. just wiped it down with water and prep mixed

The final filter in my air system is a long steel tube filled with kitchen towel rolls. The air has to travel length wise through three lengths of paper towel end on end. Takes out all residual moisture and any oil. Cheap and works.

Hey Brian…I use one of those dryers at work. I don’t use it for painting, I use it for a digital printing press. When I had it installed the guy from Ingersoll Rand said to basically leave it on. It doesn’t work or really use much power if no air is running thru it. I turned it on a few months ago and it’s been running 24/7 since with no issues.

Most people won’t post their mistakes but we learn the most from these videos definitely learned so much and feel way more confident to paint my DB8 in my garage great job man love it

[@PaintSociety]

I'm so glad!

[@ys_motocare2120]

Haha... that's long way and amazing to watch this moment... probelm solved nicely... great‼️‼️🤟🤟

[@ZING-oj6zi]

NICE BRIAN! Been researching this compressor for awhile now and recall the moisture issues, thought I'd mention it. I'll be picking up one of the 3rd gens soon. Thanks for verifying that with the right maintenance and filtration that it's capable of laying down a beautiful Paint job.

[@PaintSociety]

So many people were wondering, and I’m so happy I can provide a solid answer

[@nickle549]

When does the new unit come out?

[@ZING-oj6zi]

@@nickle549 the latest revision has been out for some time now. I don't know if they are going to come out with a 3rd generation or not.

I am a sprayer from Ghana and I really appreciate your videos

[@brennancarlinmartin5979]

Hi Brian I'm a panelbeater learning how to paint your videos really helpful i paint from home and mobile

[@jasonboyd9691]

Thanks Brian for including your viewers comments and theories. I'm sure it means a lot to us as viewers. One thing that I would've liked to know is the adjustments u made in the gun for the clear when doing your "dryer" and "wetter" coats that u didn't share. Thanks man!

[@PaintSociety]

All I did was increase my distance and not full trigger

[@judih.8754]

Brian, I really appreciate your complete honesty about this job. That rusty water filter was a telltail for me. I think slowing down was another huge factor. End result, beautiful.

[@PaintSociety]

Yes! Ty!

[@fredygump5578]

This makes me feel better about my struggles! I'm using clear coat to seal fiberglass molds....and I finally decided to just pay a painter until I can solve all the problems, like a booth, ventilation, good respirator, etc... I don't think my compressor was a problem, but I'll add that to the list!

[@russecastro6041]

Stakes are high ! Looks like you got things covered.40 years plus in automotive repair business,we are always learning.The best success is the worst failures. I have always found that rushing is a problem.Stop , step away, analyze , and restart.Great job!

[@PaintSociety]

Very true!

[@fireflymusicstudio1545]

Your videos are great. I'm considering painting my 68 Firebird. All of the door gaskets need to be replaced. Should I replace before painting? A friend said that having new gaskets with paint on them is a real drag.

[@user-un6gd9pt2q]

Done teal pearl. Had same trouble. . Lifts and fish eye. I was to fast .was the big thing . I took time 30 to 45 mins between base coats. And hour before clear. . Came out sweet

[@prestonedmonds4128]

Thanks for the corvette video. I look forward to more.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

Great work Brian

[@dewholdingsllc1050]

Thanks for the content

The oil looked exactly like water contamination. During high humidity times, if you don't have an extra drying system, you will have water contamination of some sort. My experience with a rotory air compressor has had a lot of the same problems, but only during monsoon season here in Las Vegas.

[@joshwilliams435]

I had this issue years ago. I learned that these booths create a positive charge when deflated that tightly cling to dust particles. Then when in use the atomized paint evens out the polarity causing the dust to fall gradually. Idk why but I got tired of it. I just went back to the basics of painting outside.

[@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD]

I just got done with the identical issue figured it out that the compressor was shot and when it got hot it would blow by oil into the system it wrecked every filter I had

[@ThurgoodJenkinz]

If you can afford it, i highly recommend an anti-static gun. It helps a TON, especially on raw plastic or plastic in general. You could go the cheaper route and buy a anti- static spray, but you want to be careful using it where basecoat will not be applied. I didnt wipe it off properly or fold the rag to a fresh spot and had wiping streaks.
