I just told my wife I want to make a portable paint booth in the garage I’m turning into the workshop… she asked “like a permanent one” and I said no like hospital curtained off rooms… enter UA-cam search and found this. Great job. Great ideas think alike I guess! Nice to meet you man!
More great ideas. This would also work well for a photography setup. I could hang different canvases or materials and put the lights outside of the curtains to create super even lighting. It's also a really nice backdrop system! You're awesome! Thanks again for sharing the knowledge.
Brian Prusa question: I’ve always wanted to try spray finishing but one thing has always puzzled me (& kept me from trying it). What do you do with the spray gun in between coats while they dry? Do you have to tear it down & completely clean between each coat?
Doug C I only clean completely once done with project. I’ll keep filling and spraying for 2-5 days depending on what I’m spraying (usually lacquer or shellac). I’ve never cleaned during finishing a project.
@@dougc78 Doug, I have the Rockler sprayer you see being used in this video. If you buy an extra container you see attached below the spray gun you can unscrew your paint cup, screw on the cap and take that extra cup you bought filled with soapy water screw that on and spray into a bucket . It cleans out the spray gun pretty dang well. With that said I can break down this spray gun and clean it faster than I can a paint roller.
Open the track... With a circle you have to hang and remove the cloth, if you opened it on one side like a spiral you could run a line to the corner of the garage and leave the cloth attached and store it with a cord. Easy storage and shorter setup/take down time.
I wish you were able to make more videos because anytime a new project or a video of what your doing. I get excited anytime I see a new video posted. I loved watching what you create. just amazing!!
Mind blown. I was literally about to contract someone to build something similar to this in my new garage. I hate a mess when sawing and painting. This was right on time for me to watch.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE your DIY Paint booth. Watching your video gave me an idea to create a mobile paint booth in a box. The idea is in my head....NOW to get it out of my head to visually manifest. TFS your video.
Thanks for the idea(s) Glen. You explain the steps clear and concisely. I'm planning on something similar in one side of my shop to paint car and motorcycle sheetmetal panels.
Ikea makes a similar system that isnt as HD but would work for the tarp and is much cheaper its called VIDGA. 55" rail is like $7 corners are $4. I know because I was thinking of doing something similar but mine would be just one straight wall across so Im thinking I might modify some of those cheap roll up blinds and replace the blind with 5mil visqueen that way I can roll it up out of the way for storage.
I didn't know this existed!!! Thanks for showing us this! Don't get me wrong... I like Rockler's stuff, I find it pricey... yes it's good... but pricey... However, in this case I have to admit I like this system because it goes beyond a single tasks of being a paint booth, the overhead cable and hose management, hangers for stuff like lights, and other things is a really good idea so it serves multiple purposes and helps out in the shop. I like that.
You are always right on the same issues I have!! I hate painting with a brush but am intimidated by the sprayer. I know I need to stain and paint things outside my dirty wood shop too. Tks man. Love my moveable wall. It has made taking pictures fun.
This was PERFECT!!! Thank you Thank you!! UPDATE: I just bought the Rockler Ceiling System w/ hooks and the corner pieces. I gave you a shout out on your video!!
Nice job! My only suggestion would be to get your exahaust system in place asap, as even though your tarps would contain the overspray, you could still be working in a cloud of paint, and the cloud would stay in the air and seep out around even the smallest openings around the tarps. Could contaminate the air in your shop and home, puts an extra burden on your respirator. Lungs are sensitive, and everything you inhale gets in the blood. Gets in through the skin too. Catches up to you in the long run. But good work👍 Stay safe !!!
Nice! The last time I sprayed a custom closet I had the plastic drapes taped to the rails of the garage door. As well as you, overspray was somewhat of an issue but I managed by having a fan sucking it out of the way. It didn't fix it but it was manageable enough to finish. I may have to look into this as well. Looks great!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video! You could try attaching some type of rope system. Like the ones used on roman shades, and you could just pull it up and out of the way. You mentioned that you have 10' ceiling...that should be more than enough space.
Hem the bottom edge up using something super simple. Could sew in velcro or just put in some wide and sloppy hand stitching. Use white thread to hide it.
Great video, Glen! If you had a bit more ceiling space, you could keep the tarps rolled up at the ceiling. The garage door would still close, thought it might help if you trimmed the extra tarp off the bottom. It would keep that part of the track clogged up, so you couldn't slide lights around from the middle track to the back near the garage door opener, but it would keep the tarps ready for very quick rollout.
Hello I'm one of your viewers, I'm so very happy and proud to see a young brother that is so talented as your self. I writing you because I need a little help with a project design. Basically is a wall shelf that is transform into a picture mural (flat against the wall) when not in use. You see my wife has pillows that she uses for decorating the bed during the day. but at night we need store them Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Depending on the size of the back yard, could build a paint shed for a multiple video series. Also i think i have a spare tarp that will fit the gap. If i do ill send it to ya
You can make a simple ventalation system yourself. In the hole wher you fell short with the tarp... Just make a tall rack with 3 or 4 box fans stacked one on top of the other and turn tham backwards so that the exhaust side faces in and use standard a/c filters in front to catch paint fumes. Wire them all together so that one switch will turn them all on.
Man ... great channel. You gave me a lot to think about. If you were in my area, I would hire you to set up my garage... yours looks super organized.... thanks for the tips and ideas
For the section under the garage door motor, you can buy a full sized door zipper kit for plastic sheathing/paint booths at the big box stores. They were about 10 bucks each last time I checked.
I have watched a few videos on creating a spray booth. Mi am thinking of getting rare earth magnets to attach tarp to garage door track. You have an awesome workshop
If all your making is a paint booth and not hanging tools from it. Check out IKEA Vidga ceiling mount curtain track, it has the rounded 90deg corners. about half the cost of the Rockler unit.
a bailing wire and bondo solution to over-spray is a box fan with an air filter attached to the back to recirculate the air in your spray booth. not perfect but it at least keeps the crap to a more manageable level. in your half booth setup you could get a small flexible duct kit and run it under the tarp to filter over-spray away from the work area onto some painters cloth to catch anything tacky that makes it through the filter. another idea you could do is something that someone in my neighborhood has. he made a custom panel that he can close his garage door onto with vents on the outside. I assume he has some sort of vacuum system to blow out fumes and dust. I only know it exists because he left it in place for a few days. shows that it wasn't permanent and didn't have to be broken down after a days work in the shop.
I have a tacklife paint gun and I only use that because the surface finish. Because if I measure the time of cleaning the gun after, the faster painting time doesn’t compensate
I need to make this setup, been restoring a 1977 Yamaha IT250 and got everything ready for paint, however its late in the year and its never going to be above 60 so I can paint, today was a great day but then it turned out to be crazy humid and now everything I de-rusted has rust on it
Quick easy air cleaner... 20 inch box fan... 20 inch furnace filter... Just slap the filter on the back of the fan, blow the air away from you and your project. You can put several of them in your booth right behind your project as you are spraying and have them pulling the air away from you.
I agree! It is the only way I do it. If the weather is right I just open the garage door about 15 inches & let the filtered fan pull the fumes & overspray right out. I put my project on a removable rotating top I made for a hydraulic table I got at Harbor Freight. This old girl can't be crawling around on that ladder every time! BUT if I was young & strong, I might put up a spray booth like his! Great video!

I'm impressed that you could layout and do all that overhead work by yourself. Well done.
2 uploads in a week thank you so much Glen!!!
I'm really happy to see you're using more camera angles and editing techniques. It's brave to try new things and I think you did a great job.
More great ideas. This would also work well for a photography setup. I could hang different canvases or materials and put the lights outside of the curtains to create super even lighting. It's also a really nice backdrop system! You're awesome! Thanks again for sharing the knowledge.

Those tracks are amazing, I will save this for later when I am able to set up a paint area.
How don’t you have more subscribers?!? I randomly clicked on your channel and love your videos!
@@mattharland6999 thanks, that is a great compliment. The channel is new and it takes time to get established. Thanks for watching.
Knockin our the videos. Spraying is amazing. Pro tip: always clean gun immediately after completing spraying.
Thanks man! I agree.

Very cool. Beats using a smaller tent type. Nice to see someone figure out a sane install. Great help!

Great video Glen. Only one problem... wheres the LED lights on this build? 😉
Every time i watch ur videos i wish i can have the tools u have...tools make any project go faster and easier...Blessings to you and yours.

That track is now $20 but still a good deal. Amazing how in just 3 years it’s tripled in price 😮
I like that setup a lot.....simple and a quick setup with the only storage being the material 😀
A big hello from France, thank you for your sharing. Take care of yourself and your family, thank you.

Great video! Consider using box fans with filters stacked vertically in the gap left over between the two tarp sheets.

I like the way you trimmed your light fixtures. Great video... I may try this myself.
That paints going right over the top of those tarps
Dude two vids in a week! Awesome thanks man! Your videos are easily the best diy vids. Keep em coming!
You have been such a great problem solver for me. Thanks for all your great advice and ideas. I'll adopt the spray booth.

Unistrut is also strong, cheap and easy to find alternative for a track.

For lessbthen $100 you can buy a car tent that works great for painting
@@bobnicholas5994 for the amount of projects he has id say he is more than likely going to want a more perm solution
thanks

Good job senior! Nice vid
You have a lovely speaking voice. Very calming.
The idea is great..!
Nice set up!
love your chanel
you make it look so easy... this would have been an ALL DAY PROJECT. lol My hat is off to you sir.
Very Good video!!!
Thank you
Cool!
Great idea for a paint booth!
Good info. I made mine out of PVC Pipes. When I become an homeowner, I’ll make something permanent.
Good Job

Great video. I can't help but think that it looks like a giant version of my shower curtain and track!
Thanks lol I agree
Could you make a “Y” track from a pair of cut 90’s to slide the tarp down an alternate track that stays along one wall?
That’s a good idea.
Great Video. I spray furniture and this would be so helpful. Thanks

Hey glen I like your project and good tips. As allways. Good work
You awesome man.
Nice video, cool garage shop!
My stud finder goes off every time I pick it up.......hehehehe
Genius
Do you have any idea of the cost of all the hardware you used for the paint booth? $30 for a 4' section of track seems quite expensive?
Great job Glen coming from a painter
Quick easy air cleaner...
20 inch box fan...

Just slap the filter on the back of the fan, blow the air away from you and your project. You can put several of them in your booth right behind your project as you are spraying and have them pulling the air away from you.
