My First Test In An Inflatable Spray Booth Is It Any Good?

[@paddypower123]

Had a proper chuckle at the start watching you fight your instinct to help the blower, even before you mentioned it lol. I would be the exact same!

[@haydenuk02]

Looks like a good bit of it. Cant wait to see its longevity and see a car being painted in there and see how well it does. Cheers for the video take care

[@DJ-SPARKY-REACH-ON-AIR]

I think you'll make a good photo booth as well that would do with the nice LED lighting shame it doesn't come in green lol

[@ryanclements8320]

Hi Martin apologies on how long it's been for my small contribution to reach you but money has been extremely tight. Thank you very much for your content even the bits I wouldn't usually be interested in I watch and end up really enjoying. Keep up the good work. Ryan

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for your support Ryan, it is greatly appreciated bud.

[@JP-ed2bz]

Beauty. You displayed amazing self control whilst that last bit was inflating 😄 was clearly just caught up on itself. Looking forward to seeing you do Jimmy's car in there!

[@retrorestore]

I really wanted to push it up lol

[@dansmith4867]

Brilliant. Been toying on getting the smaller booth for cycle bike resprays. These last two videos has help. Thanks 👍🏻

[@retrorestore]

No problem 👍

[@ModernClassics81]

Great demo Martin, I am considering buying one of these spray booths to spray my RS turbo on my channel

[@martinburgess4814]

Wow what a great spray booth.So easy to use.All the best to you all.

[@retrorestore]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Phil-1969]

Your a talented man Mart , I wish I could spray like that , can’t wait to see you using this more

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Phil👍

[@stevieb.1473]

I've been waiting for something like this for years!!

[@johnclark9387]

Think this will be a really sound investment and benefit the channel. I bought a large inflatable slide about the same size of your Paint booth for our kids about five years ago and it's still going strong. Puncture holes as such wont bother it as the air pump is running permanently. Looking forward to some good videos👍

[@chrisross-smith4358]

That booth is an absolutely fantastic idea Marty. No wind, bugs and the over spray goes out through the filters. As a bonus even on a cool day it would be warm inside to dry the job. Perfect...😊

[@retrorestore]

Thanks 👍

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Martin I had a grollia pro spray booth and I had over spray all over it only came with one blower unit and that was to blow it up I should have got the vevor one years ago of ebay was really cheap if I get another grollia pro spray booth I get a 12 extractor fan to take the fumes out used them on site for welder work 😊

[@philipnewton7942]

Martin Very cool a mobile spray booth this us a fantastic idea I love it mate Phil in stoke

[@loneranger5928]

The inflation time was fast and the booth looks good 👍 Best of luck with it

[@peterhaigh5764]

I could see you were itching to give a helping hand😀 Great video Martin always top notch

[@retrorestore]

I was lol

[@xinixxagnix201]

Great stuff Martin, so happy for you!

[@retrorestore]

Thanks so much!

[@SirSpuddy]

Looks cracking that does, I like one of them to put pool inside to keep it cleaner for my grandson and I bet it keep water warmer aswell.

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Excellent video Martin, going to be a handy booth well done.

[@steven907]

Looks great Martin , that's a great little booth , great job , thanks Martin

[@retrorestore]

Thanks 👍

[@stewartprice8881]

could be ran via a generator if worried about electric grid fail.. fantastic information about the booth ....love the video thankyou.....

[@terry5787]

Looks like a nice bit of kit, It will be interesting to see its longevity.

[@derbyjohn972]

Cracking one Martin. Amazing spray booth. You are a cracking spray legend. Did say it will never go back in the bag 🤣🤣

[@retrorestore]

Lol I'm with you on that one John.

[@dazasakigarage]

Looks brilliant Martin seriously looking at the smaller version 👍 so I can spray my motorcycle parts

[@STTC]

That’s a fabulous bit of kit Martin, look forward to a dust free shed now

[@fixitorstripitGardenmachines]

Must admit I'm well impressed with that booth Martin. You was itching to help it up to 😁. Really nice spray work to. It big enough to have a party in to. Fantastic video.

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Neil, I did want to push it up lol👍

[@georgestewart1325]

Enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing look forward to seeing more work carried out in your booth.

Awesome, thank you!

Great video as usual Had me on the edge of my seat for a bit wanting to help push it up 😆

[@davestatham812]

Great video Martin, that booth is absolutally fantastic, what a great buy, nice spray job too looked super smooth, couldnt of stopped myself pushing the top up, well done for self control lol, 👍🏻

[@retrorestore]

Lol

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Great job Martin love watching your review love watching your wonderful videos from South Africa

[@mercedesmaintenance.6339]

Nice one Martin!!

[@RGD-Games]

good vid... Just a tip. just quickly dampen the floor with a damp rag.. this makes the overspray particles stay on the floor When your moving around, :) Its something that is done in permanent structure spray booth's too...

[@tedvegas5586]

Really nice setup Martin

[@vansien]

I think thats a bloody fantastic find, gosh i could of done with one of them many times through out my life when working on my cars at home. Great video keep up the fantastic content, love seeing what you been up too. :-)

[@retrorestore]

Thanks 👍

[@HepcatHarley]

Great job Martin. I think I'd open both filtering exhaust panels to normalise the air pressure inside, maybe the air pumps are designed to match inlet and exhaust, I dunno, just me banging on about stuff I know nothing about lol :)

[@tvdel]

Superb bit of kit I can see you making good use out of it

[@retrorestore]

Absolutely

[@vdubs6068]

Great Vid Martin 👍

[@mathy210]

Martin I was watching a video the other day and it started raining and the roof is not waterproof I would recommend putting something on the roof just incase your in middle of a job 😀 🙂 😉 👌

[@retrorestore]

Ill check the weather before putting it up.

[@andyclifford5610]

Top job mate, would of been nice to see the bumper finished though, a sound investment by the looks of it, how long to Gary uses it 😂😂😂😂

[@Robsenginerepairs]

Good job mate lovely nice and spacious top bit of kit thanks Martin

[@roystheboy]

you got a bargin there martin when you deflate it next make sure that clear plastic folds inwards with the air pipes on top think that will stop it from catching

[@retrorestore]

Yes Roy, I'll get there.

[@itsallfabrication]

Good stuff Martin, I like it.

[@billywhizz98]

Great review Martin

[@andddyw88]

Having all the kit definitely makes life easier, looks like it will last 5+ years easy so can't grumble for that price👍

[@a11csc]

looks like you made one hell of a great choice for the retro restore channel martin. although i am damn sure sure the project man will be borrowing dads property all the time lol

[@danelectro68]

That’s an awesome bit of kit. Look forward to seeing more 👍👍👍

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Neill👍

[@Jamie_galloway]

Nice video Martin I quite like ur spray booth that thing will be good for different cars and jimmys bmw and that's the perfect place to respray sharons astra my st220 is resprayed soon just don't feel like doing it right now and at least the log cabin isn't going to be covered in paint anymore im learning lots of tips and tricks from ur channel thanks Martin and was that project mans mondeo bumper u were respraying

Another awesome videos mate just a heads up ifollow someone on KZbin called beyond the van life he uses one of these spray boots he has a shoe once with a van going off grass into the spray booth where are wheel span and tried pulling the floor up underneath the Axel. Keep up the good work mate can't wait to see when you spray a car in the Booth😀😎

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for the tip Stu

[@walthamwalker]

Great video could see you was absolutely dying to help it to the point of Sharon saying leave it Martin

[@retrorestore]

I was lol

[@dalethomas360]

Looks good buddy and plenty of room. Where are you located, as looking for someone to do my Mondeo ST bumpers in lieu of a bag of monster munch and some red pop 😁👍

[@AliMackMechanical]

Handy bit of kit Martin I don't do a lot of spraying most stuff av done been outside or round my mate's place. Lol might blow away up here in the Highlands lol. Joking my neighbour would kill me. In all seriousness it don't look bad at all. I will send you my bumper lol or even better next time your up visting your daughter you can take it back lol. Be nice to meet up with you for a cuppa tea in cafe. Your good at the painting lol better than me anyway. 🤙👍

[@retrorestore]

Its a learnable skill Ali, i'm sure you could master it if you wanted.

[@jsrides2065]

Awesome job well presented 👍🏻top marks

[@edwar141]

Great video martin could a vac help with deflating just a thought Nice one

[@nigelbryant5932]

Great product Martin,this will help you out 👍. Why don't they make one with a non return valve? This must cost a fortune in electric.Great channel

[@retrorestore]

Not really Nigel. Its not on for long.

[@nigelbryant5932]

@@retrorestore Apparently Martin,there is a new version with a non return valve. Once inflated ,stays up. That would be better. Loving your content. 👍👍

Great bit of kit and it went up fast, but like you said it would go up faster if you had helped it .

[@davecoleman7431]

Martin I have watched many videos on pop up spray booths. They all suffer from lack of light inside Otherwise they are good

[@banger220]

Looks great so far

[@paulyh4531]

I saw a sim video from the USA ,they was spraying a car in a identical device but diff brand and it leaked in the rain , hopefully it was a one off or click bait. If you do use it rain please beware Martin. Not having a go just making you aware incase you not seen the video I'm referring to obvs they may of got a duff one or it was damaged in transit 😉

[@retrorestore]

Yes I've seen it Paul. I don't think they are rain proof.

[@guaranino]

You seem to be genuinely happy with your new booth! I bet we are going to see a lot of you in there. One question that comes up whenever I see you doing these kind of paint jobs. Do you have to clean the gun in between coats? You mentioned that you apply the second coat 10 minutes after the first one. Does the gun get clogged if you leave it for that long? Cheers and keep your videos coming.

[@retrorestore]

No need to clean the gun inbetween coats bud.

[@garycumberland5922]

good bit of kit

[@dinxsy8069]

If only you lived down the road from me, my Civic sits there waiting to paint.

[@125sm3]

Great demonstration Martin. May I ask where you get your water based , Base coats from ?

[@retrorestore]

Any Motor factors will mix it, I use Fishers of Lincoln.

[@normsmowers4758]

Nice clean job 👌 👍

[@leighhawkins6732]

Hi Martin, regarding the deflation questions. Is it possible to install check valves inline with the pumps. As you said its not going to be a permanent fixture so probably not necessary anyway. Great video thank you

[@retrorestore]

The deflation really isn't a problem. It basically goes totally flat after about 30 minutes Leigh.

[@steveball1909]

And Sharon doesn't mind this?😜

[@Charlie_Crown]

Great bit of kit that Martin, maybe a portable car lift next, or a two post lift, make working on the cars a lot easier for you, I'd happily contribute if you set up a fund me page or something, I'm sure plenty of your subscribers certainly would also 👍

[@Alexander_l322]

Looking good that

[@phonotd]

Hi Martin, another great video, disappointed to see you still walking on the booth when laying it out. As I said before it WILL eventually puncture if constantly walked on and I'm referring to the inflatable parts of the structure, not the walls or floor, which won't, of course, have any bearing on the booth inflating. Just a suggestion here, if you had one of those garden storage boxes, placed where you have the air pumps located, you could store the whole lot in there and keep it sheltered and out of the way, no need for straps or anything else and subsequently easy to roll out and set up. Alternatively a man of your talents could make your own storage box to put it in, just remember to fit whatever solution you choose with a lock so you can keep Project Man out. 🤣

[@petefroud5308]

Hi Martin could you use a heater in the the booth .

[@retrorestore]

Yes Pete I don't see why not.

[@joesaccomanno4791]

Looking to get one for my small shop and spray lacquer. How are the fumes? Does the ventilation work well?

[@retrorestore]

Yes it seems to

[@ianmedium]

That’s way more quiet in real life than it appears on film Martin and I think I know why. KZbin when you upload videos heavily compresses music and compressing music makes it much louder than it would be in real life, it also makes it sound harsher. Very impressed how quiet it actually is.

[@ianmedium]

@Ellis The DJ all comes down to money I reckon, they more they penny pinch the more they make. I loath compression on music. In the early days of downloading I could understand it but there is no excuse now as fast cheap internet is everywhere. My first choice is vinyl but if I can’t do it that way but want it digital I either rip WAV or FLAC from my CD collection or download high res either 24bit or DSD for my Onkyo portable player for better sound. I know many say compression makes no difference but it does to my ears!

[@markbudd9702]

Looks good. I will order one

[@retrorestore]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@jamesmackinlay2500]

Enjoy watching your video Martin. Can't you just. Use the other end to came in and out. Just in case you get a fly in there.

Yes, I didn't think of that lol

If you cracked the zip into the main entrance, air could have got in and helped the tent/booth inflate

[@SilentDeezy]

Hi mate, if you had to replace the filters how would you do it?

[@retrorestore]

I'd cut the middle section out and replace with standard filter membrane.

[@SilentDeezy]

@@retrorestore Ahh okay, Thanks for the reply! What would you use to secure the new membrane with?

[@retrorestore]

@@SilentDeezy Maybe velcro, I've not actually needed to do this yet so its just a thought.

[@SilentDeezy]

@@retrorestore oh wow, even with all the spraying you do? I'm sold! Thanks for your review on this, I was a bit skeptical on the product but after watching your video I was amazed with how this thing seems to perform!

[@kobikai3157]

I would be worried about the electric bills. More so when you are using the oven for powder coating.

[@retrorestore]

No worries bud. Imagine the cost of having to pay someone for doing a paint job.

[@davecoleman7431]

Martin does it produce any static because static is a paint sprayers enemy

Not as far as I know

I think this is the first time I've ever seen Martin almost biting his nails, kind of worried in case by not helping the spray booth up it might get damaged. Luckily it didn't.
