- In this video, we show the complete process of building our homemade spray booth and exactly how it works. If there are any other videos you guys want to see then be sure to leave a comment down below and we will try our best to create a video!
This brings back memories for me. The first body shop I worked in had a similarity built "home made" booth. It had the BEST airflow of any booth I worked in
Massive Booth !! Must be a pleasure to spray in. And very well designed for a self build booth.
My USI is a full downdraft pitted booth, costs me a fortune in exhaust and floor filters...in the process of making a cage to pre filter the pocket exhaust filters with standard floor filters to try cut costs !! But keeping the fan clean is always priority.
Nice to see the evolution of the Booth as well.
Keep up the good work.
Cracking set up you have. Everything in its place and nothing out of place 😎👍
Amazing for self build so clean everywhere too looking forward to all your future uploads especially mk2 escort related 👍
100%
Great Home made booth. Wow!
with the jobs i seen done it works very well. well done
A really good video. The booth is very Simply put together, but very effective and definitely worth the redecoration. Nice one 👍👍
Wow this is nice. I'm building a shop at my house and want to put a paint booth in it. This is a dream booth right here
If you want it to work how you want, you gotta build it yourself. Great booth gavin
Lovely set up! You have my respect 🫡
Great tour of your spray booth many thanks for sharing gavin 👍
👍
Looks the business mate you’ve done a cracking job of that spray booth 👍
Thanks 👍
Looks fantastic
I can only imagine how many times you’ve been asked about that booth.. I’ve studied it no end of times when I was building mine 😂 it really is an awesome set up. One thing that may be handy for you is an indirect marquee heater.. they vent all the fumes and moisture up a flue and just clean dry warm air in - great for warming the space and baking (arcotherm). Your generous to share your secrets 🙏 Those led lights are a game changer .. great videos 👍
Thanks Tom I'll look into one of those heaters 👍👍
@@4x4pinkys drywall on walls? Wouldnt that be a issue later on?
Nice one 👍🏼 👌🏽
evening gav great tour of your shop
your painting booth is cleaner than my local chip shop honest!!
alot of paint shops could take a leaf out of your book mate
Thanks 👍
That booth is brilliant, far better than a "proper" booth seems to work more efficiently aswell judging by the work you turn out in there! And probably a fraction of the price!! Thanks for the walk round really helpful as I'm going to build a small booth at home for doing bike panels and had a good idea how to build it but now I have a better understanding and more idea on intake filter and extractor size👍 excellent thanks again Gavin
Thanks for your great comments 👍
Pro setup !
This is awesome
Looks good
Un vídeo del área de preparación, herramientas y con todo lo que cuenta tu taller 👌👌👌👌👌
Nice work
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That was really interesting, thanks a lot
Thanks for the comment😁
Nice spray booth
Muy buenos videos amigo
Great homemade booth I think grant wishes he’d built his own now!
cracking job
Great looking booth, awesome job 👍 Can you tell what type and size exhaust fan you have? I am building very silimar style negative pressure booth and im not sure what size fan i should get 🤔
I'm loving how clean the booth is !!!! so many people start bogging cars in there booths really annoys me . When did some custom work for a guy i made him build me a booth and i would n't let anybody in and also if they did come in have you put deoderant or aftershave on this morning (silicones ) lol. It was my domain and i produced some nice clean work .
That's the only way!
Fair play to you!
Very expensive materials & labour if the job gets screwed up with shit & silicone mate, been there!!!!
First Class....!!!
Absolutely howling at those noises that kid Duncan made as he was sweeping. 😂 😂
🤣🤣🤣👍 it's the paint fumes I think
I turned off my TV to go find this video on my phone just so I could comment on the dude in the red hat who just keeps making noise every time the camera goes to him, hilarious man I would love to work with you fools
very good to know a 36 inch fan will clear the booth so long as the intake filter surface is suffient
Very nice
PARFAIT 👍
Merci
Looks the dogs bollox of a booth 👍👍
Bet it was a hell of a lot less to build one that size and to your spec than to buy 👍👍👍
Thanks! For what we do you size is perfect and yes it was definitely cheaper haha 😄
Hi excellent booth, really looks good, could u kindly show me a bit more of how the extraction is set up it looks right next to the wall, how have u got rhe ducting many thanks.
nice setup. I noticed you framed it with wood directly to the concrete. what did you use to seal the base boards so water doesn't seep under the walls and root the wood out when you clean the booth out?
The most helpful video I have seen in a while. I built my own small booth for painting motorbike panels and have been struggling with getting clean work, what are the best intake filters to use as I have been using fibreglass ones what is your opinion Gavin?
To be honest the fiberglass is normally an extraction exhaust filter or as a pre-filter have a look on eBay for spray booth intake filter👍
Nice quality workplace Gavin, I see you also have a type of filter prior to the extraction fan. Can you tell me for what purpose and how often does it need replacing please. Thanks and have an excellent new year.
Hi phil the filter before the extractor fan is just to try and take out all the overspray so it doesn't build up on my extractor fan blades. we change it every week or so. It is glass fibre extraction type filter. Happy new year to you to!
Wouldn't mind getting my mini In there lol the quotes I received locally are pretty insane in my opinion, 2.5 -3k for a basic paint job on a classic mini was the cheapest I could find lol
Hi Gavin, fantastic booth. You mentioned you have an 36" fan, how many m3 / hour is it rated to? I know it not 100% applicable to my booth under construction, but it looks more less the same size. :)
cool booth!! what airflow do you have and axial or radial fan? And how do you manage to get no dust in fresh paints, when you heat the paint booth trough the metal pipe with your heater? the heater is in another room and sucks dusty air and blows it trough your metal pipe unfiltred in your booth? right or not?
really nice paint booth...how many m3/hour is the fan???
Great setup and super clean like the others have said.
What stops the torpedo heater blowing dust all over the wet paint?
heat goes in through our intake filters apart from when we bake. by that time the paint has tacked off
Be nice if you would show the complete build from start to end. Very nice!
How air tight are your booth doors? Changing mine now what’s the best way to build them so they are fully air tight?
This is a great set-up. Better than an actual paint booth. What did u use to seal the doors to avoid dust intake?
Car door seal
We have our up and wanting to know what is best to put on the walls and floor.
Hi Gavin. Really enjoying your channel. I am an amateur painter doing work in my own garage at home. I have some questions if you don't mind. How on earth do you manage heating your booth with a propane heater? As far as I am aware, for every litre of gas they burn they produce a litre of water. I had to stop using mine as any cold metal in the garage would be dripping with condensation until the garage got up to temperature. I got a humidity meter and it was at 90% when I used the propane heater. I have now chosen to heat the garage using electric heaters, but with the current state of energy suppliers it is very expensive now. I just wondered whether you have monitored the humidity in the booth.
Hey maybe I can help! Where is you exttactor fan venting to?
Hi , could you show how the heater plenum works and how its built please.
Was that an epoxy based paint on the floor? How do you go cleaning up the floor after a job?
What have you used to screen the lights? We made a homemade booth at my last job, it was large enough for jumbo transits but did suffer with dust occuring in one area all the time! Great job, keep up the good work!
The LED lights in my spray booth are surface-mounted they are only about 10 mm thick so we have no openings behind them
Really interesting video Gavin, your booth is very well designed and ideal for what you do as you are not a production shop pushing as many jobs through each day as you can, it must cost you a fair bit to redecorate the inside as much as you do but it must help to get cleaner jobs, do you think it's cheaper to build your own booth compared to buying one in and having it fitted?
I'm just a hobby painter doing single panels so my booth is a fraction the size of yours but works on the same principal, mine is also negative pressure with two variable speed fans sucking air across the booth from the intake filters and it's heated using a hot air diesel unit, it was 24C in my booth yesterday and 4C outside so it works well for what I do, I've always been told that you shouldn't have a negative pressure in the booth but never had any issues with it.
Hi John and thanks for your great comments yes the cheapest Booth I could find in the same sort of dimensions as mine was 35k and I would lose the whole end of my workshop as it would have to go directly in the centre which wasn't an option for me
That's a lot of hard earned cash for fork out Gavin, I recon if you paid out 35k it wouldn't be as good as you have made yourself 👍
Great Job! What's the size?
Awesome! Roughly how much did this cost you in total?
I must admit the dry lining looks pucker!!
Wonder who did that?? 🤣🤣
👍 Good Job Gavin

One question what are the doors made of?
The doors to get the car inside the booth
Is there a factor for booths that the intake should be 200% of the extractor size? I seem to think I once read that somewhere (or I’m going nuts lol) but yours is so well set up and was probably a fraction of the cost of a bought “proper” booth. My home made booth is a similar size and you’ve given me some really good ideas with this video so thanks for this one (and the others of course)
There should be none to just a little bit of negative pressure.. and yes I'm sure this was much cheaper than your typical spray booth and the size and the way it works is perfect for what we do👍
What size compressor are you using?
You don’t need a 20 or 30k paint booth to get a mint job. It’s all about keeping the paint area clean and dust free.
im planning on creating a booth inside my garage with plastic curtains but i need advice on ventilation and heating,ill be doing probably 2 cars a year max,any advice for an old retired lorry driver would be appreciated.
I would honestly say rather than trying to heat something like this you would just be better to do it on a fine warm day possibly just a fan at one in blowing out of a door will move some air to clear the overspray
Great video please could you tell me what the measurements of the booth are and you thoughts too big too small or just right?
The Booth is 8 m long and 6 m wide for me it is just perfect especially when you're doing a classic car in a metallic colour you can get the body shell and all the panels together
How much to have this particular booth built?
Where did you get the lights from ?
Also what make and size fan is the one you used ..?
That isna great booth 👌
The lights came from Ebay the fan came from a warehouse roof its 36inches
Super set up is that a 3 phase or single phase fan Gavin would you know the make of it also, TIA
The fan is single phase. Not sure about the brand I got it online second hand.. 👍
Without a doubt a work of art made into a paint booth. I'm building one. Do you have a more or less idea of how many cfm the extraction fan moves? I have a lot of doubt about how much power or air capacity I need.
@rafaelberrios6859 to be honest I really don't, I just went with an oversized fan and then control it with a speed controller
@@4x4pinkys ohh, I've seen your videos where you paint in the paint booth and you can see that it cleans the overspray well. But you are in there, how well did it work for you in terms of cleaning and why are there so many particles???
How to find door for spray Booth?
What’s materials did you use if you could share
Why do you use gas heater and not diesel?
Whats the size of booth
Great video 👍 what’s the hardest colour to paint ??
Thanks for the comment Ross. Every colour can definitely have their own difficulties. 👍
Hi Ross in my honest opinion the more I think about white is probably the hardest colour to paint because within 5 minutes you go white blind and it's very difficult to actually see the colour going on
@@4x4pinkys I’m sure a man of your skills will do it good though ! 👍
Hello how many m3/ hours is your fan?
its a like from me gavin i sprayed my ford focus mk3 bumper the gray high build went on great so i put some base coat on gavin devbliss gti pro 1.2 air cap but only had it at 1bar should have been 2 bar and it went on great but dryed like a sand effect i have since gavin rubbed it back to gray primer
Maybe try applying your
base coat wetter people get scared by basecoat and tend to put it on to dry this is a big problem as you end up with a surface like you spoke about like I say just put a decent wet coat on and let it dry out
@@4x4pinkys gav if I was not 6inch away from the panel and sprayed at 1 bar instead of 2bar would that make a big difference
I know it like asking how long is a piece of string ,but how much ££££ is it roughly for a bare metal to finish spray job. If the car is in good condition
Hi Paul it really depends on so many factors, if you had a project you were looking to do and you wanted to drop me some photographs it would be a good starting point, I could give you some kind of ballpark figure for your particular Project
what is the paint booth size?
9m x 6m
Mate are you in Essex?
We are very close in Ware just down the 414!
What was the first car/colour to be sprayed in there? Obviously not including the walls and isn’t it dangerous to use those heaters anywhere near a spray booth? You know open flame and all that 😂
I can't actually remember the first colour we painted in the oven the heater is a long way outside the oven the heat travels down some ducting and we have been using it like this for many years with no issues whatsoever
IS CHEWSDAY INNIT????
Wow, blows my redneck pop up cover out the water.
