Tabernac!
Having (somewhat) recently painted my own car for the first time, I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into it - 99% prep, 1% painting. Looks great. Fisheyes and clear coat orange peel are a pain! But, the reaction you get from people when you mention that you painted it yourself is priceless.
I really like that inflatable paint booth. It could be used for many different things.
GiveMeMyStyxhexenhammer666Plushie AndNoOneGetsHurt indeed, it would make a great bouncy castle for wheelchair users... before anyone gets offended, I’m a wheelchair user.
Totally agree about being great as a bouncy castle for wheelchair users. No offense here. I walk with a cane. Surprisingly after everything I've been through I still have a great sense of humor.
GiveMeMyStyxhexenhammer666Plushie AndNoOneGetsHurt I hear you buddy, I have a severe and aggressive form of arthritis and lost the ability to walk unaided at the age of 30, I’m 35 now. If I didn’t use a bit of self deprecating humour now and then, I might actually get depressed about it. Making a joke of it is a great ice breaker too. It’s funny to invent stories of weird and unlikely accidents when people ask “what have you done”, and see if/how long the believe you for. Base jumping off the roof of my bungalow is always a funny one.🤣
@@Si1983h No plain crash or jumping from the top of the world trade center stories, or some big girl sat on your face stories. LOL
BLISSFUL FAPPER haha, anything bizarre or pushing the boundaries of feasibility. People usually realise you’re joking but it’s more fun than hearing “you’re a bit young to have arthritis”, then having to explain that it’s a genetic condition not age related and then people saying “oh it must be terrible for you”, when it isn’t. I don’t have to carry my bags or queue at airports, I can park pretty much wherever I want within reason and I get the best seats at concerts and cheaper too!🤣
Great video! I love your positive, can-do attitude. Two similar pieces of advice that I live by are:
“ you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it”
“Failure is assured if you do no try to succeed “
So.... It's an inflatable Crac house!
Cool vid. I'll probably never try this, but I love learning how it's done, even for stuff I may never attempt. Thumbs up!
Solvent Pop as you called it is called Solvent Boil. These appear as pin hole craters in the finish. These are caused by the solvent boiling off because of temperature. Suggest using thinners and hardeners with a higher flash point in warm conditions. Thinners and paint hardeners for two pack paint can be bought in Slow, Normal and Fast and should be matched to the temperature of the time you spray paint. Fish eyes are created when metallic paint is concentrated in one spot when spray painting and as the name suggests looks like a fish's eye. Spray painting is like mowing a lawn. Long parallel strokes with the paint gun with a slight overlap, each layer is as wet as the paint beside it with no dry spots. Metallic paint needs to be painted slightly dryer to avoid Fish eyes and to achieve a more even finish. The only turbine paint gun I own is a HLVP Airless by Wagner for painting house paint. Basically its an air paint pump like the vacuum cleaner spray guns of the 1950's. Cheap paint guns are crap, with concentrated narrow uneven spray patterns and are a waste of money. You only get what you pay for. Great project for learning. Good Luck.
I watched this video multiple times. The videos shows that the clearcoat is having major dieback, thats why you are getting loss off gloss and texture. I invested about $2-$3k in an Apollo turbine system. I was getting the same exact problem you were having "solvent pop" and "dieback". I spent significant time trying to fix this issue always being told it was my fault from the turbine manufacturer. I tried everything from letting the basecoat sit for hours etc. I tried different brands of clearcoat, they all did the samething dieback. I finally gave up and invested in a compressor, and Iwata LPH80 gun setup. All problems were immediately eliminated and now I get professional jobs that dont need wetsanding and buffing. The clearcoat cures exactly how it looks after shooting it. The Iwata LPH80 only requires 2 CFM which means it can run on a small compressor.
Interesting. Do you use the LPH80?
@@Samcrac Yes, I use the LPH80 with 1.2 mm tip. I have a bumper repair company that I operate from my home. I bought a silent air compressor. The air compressor is actually quieter then the turbine system. I had the expensive Apollo Precision 5 model.
I use 3ms turbine system. Honestly I never used Eastwood stuff but try messing with the guns settings it takes time to get it where you want it if you dont do it everyday. I lay glass with my 3m set up.
@@Samcrac I have an LPH80 and LPH400 from Iwata. With those two guns, you can paint anything. If you were to get confortable and efficient with the settings on the gun, you can get a great finish using less air. That compressor should be more than sufficient to spray bumpers or parts.
Solvent pop is caused when too much paint is applied or coats are applied on top of each other too quickly. When this is done, gases from the reducer from the lower portion of the clear, are trying to escape, but they are trapped because of the paint thickness or the coat that was applied on top of it, thus creating the bubbles known as solvent pop. This is why you have a tendency to get the solvent pop on the top surfaces easier (or on cars/trucks on the edge of the jams), because clear is usually applied heavier on the top surfaces. Applying too much material could also be caused by an improper set-up on your gun. Check what the paint manufacturer recommends and what you have on your gun. This could be another culprit for solvent pop., your equipment doesn't cause solvent pop.
Take a look at www.sherwin-automotive.com/pdf/Troubleshooting_Guides_Eng_PDF.pdf and look up dieback. You'll see their recommendations for fixing the problem. No where in that document does it blame dieback on the equipment.
Sam is the coolest and is so right. I used to be intimidated by windshields. Nothing on a car is magic, it’s doing research, learning from others, pulling up your sleeves, and giving it a go! Now, replacing glass feels like an oil change.
As some one who's been doing it for a long time, hardware is important but not the be all end all. The better you are and the better the hardware you use the better results and less post work. Actual good paint guns are $100-$450, you can get a good compressor for under $1k. Would I use a $50 harbor freight gun on the 58 vette I just did, no but it could have favorable results. In all honesty you have to get a feel for the gun and get it dialed in. Wanna know how to get any gun dialed in? Spray water on vertical glass, you want uniform small droplets. Any water running down the glass or not uniform droplets you change distance, psi, speed, fan, fluid or overlap. 3 gun settings & 3 human settings.....Someone can have dramatic changes just by changing how they spray without touching the gun. There really isn't any golden rule, just good starting reference points. Its the painter that makes the paint job in the end.
I repainted my BMWs front bumper in black sapphire metallic using nothing but spray cans. My friends only believed me when I showed them pictures and I didn't even sand and buff the clear because the 2k Spraymax clear performs amazing. I have some experience doing the same with my old car so I avoided the mistakes but practice makes perfect! Same goes to you Sam, your painting has improved a substantial amount.
Sam you are very thorough. You show us every way to screw up and every way to properly correct mishaps. You're a living text book. Thank you as always!
It’s a good idea to put several coats of clear on everything with a good sanding in between. The more coats the better. Worth it when you get a scratch or something. If it’s just in the clear it can be fixed easily.
That’s it I’m buying one I was skeptical for a long time now but you got me sold on it thanks for making this. Best review of one of these booths I’ve seen so far.

I'm not big on the Baja Blast, but I sure do like the Mexican Pizza, no diced tomatoes, add extra cheese.
Total respect man, you show where you mess up and keep at it until you get it right. Awesome job
You could use a heater to warm up the area in the booth and remove the moisture in the air. Will help the drying process.
Kudos for taking us on your journey as you learn the skills.
wow dude... you've come a long way...i subbed when you were at 34k.... and look at you now.. keep up the good work homie
Glad to see you're taking the leap to painting yourself... it's miserable and tedious to learn but once you get it, you get it. I have your same harbor freight compressor and it's good for a panel or two at a time but not a whole car. You've gotten me interested in the turbine system since it eliminates so many of the things that can cause defects.
Hello my car broke down and im watching this in the middlr of a highway

Kudos to you, Sam, for stepping up and learning another great skill! Is it perfect, not quite. But you'd simply hire it out of you wanted perfect. I applaud your willingness to try when others are afraid or make excuses. Great job!
Just a thought! Put a tarp on the floor of booth to stop paint overspray building up and eventually flaking off and causing issues! Tarp can be replaced when needed
jeez. good to know if youtube ever collapsed, samcrac could make a living painting cars.... amazing results.
Started a Ford taurus SHO rebuild project after watching many of your videos. Wonderful content! 👍
Andrew Cliver ➡️ good Idea I would love to see the rebuild of a SHO., i remember that car when I was a kid
I love seeing you use that inflatable paint booth. always so surreal to think it actually works
Awesome job with the paint everyone is going to try it now
Nice work Sam. I have been painting cars as a hobby every now and then for over 30 years (about 10 cars). I never got a nice paint job until last year.
Eastwood for the win !!!! Had never heard of this compressor les painting ever before I would actually try it now! The booth is awesome too!
For the edges of the inflatible paint booth, don't just rely on the stakes in the ground, but simply you can place heavy objects on the inside edges of the booth to keep it planted on the ground (round 25/50 lb dumbbell weights work well, or paint cans)
You might want to try one of the many "Fish Eye eliminator" additives available online or from your local auto paint supplier. Back in the day, I painted cars with Acrylic Lacquer and Enamel, when those paints were the standard OEM paints for GM and Ford cars. We didn't use base coat-clear coat in those days and sometimes, no matter how many times I used a solvent to remove wax & grease, I still got "Fish Eyes" on flat surfaces, so I couldn't have survived without my "Fish Eye Killer".
Aren't there additives made for plastic bumbers as well to help with orange peel and fish eyes on plastic. Does paint quality matter too? That doesn't look like OEM paint
Paint quality is very important and unfortunately more complex than ever. Almost every Auto Body & Paint specialist now have to go through a lot of training to get the results expected by car owners today. Most body shops limit their paint brand choices to just a few manufacturers because each paint manufacturer normally offers training, problem resolution and advice on specific techniques and additives for today automotive finishes. Many vehicles surfaces now include metal (Steel & Aluminum), some plastic, and composite materials that make it really difficult to get a great paint job that matches in texture as well as a color, with just one formulation of paint. Tri-Coat paint seems to be increasingly popular, in fact I own a GM product with "White Diamond" and it can be a nightmare to match and/or blend various panels.
The best advice I'd offer anyone who wants to paint anything automotive, is get to know a person who works for or owns a local Auto Paint supplier and ask them for suggestions, such as additives (including some that are mixed into the batch of paint you are going to use for a specific paint and application.
I know this a long, almost "non-answer" other than to suggest talking with a Auto Paint pro, but it's the best solution I know.
Nicely presented. Good that you show the fails also so we all learn what to look out for. Good job.
You've gotten a LOT better. Cut and polish=next level!
Notification squad let’s go! Hit that bell icon to join the exclusive club!
You don't realize how tempting this setup looks. I've got a little bit of background in auto collision and know body work and paint. Most good "buy to flip" cars on Craigslist need paint bad, but if you do the whole car yourself it'll net tons of profit when you sell it.
One thing I would say about turbines is they can be good or bad. I used one for 12 years or more painting on hundreds of cars. Then when it failed went back to a 600 dollar spray gun and 400 dollar filter system for the air compressor. The positive of the turbines is warm oil free moisture free air, but the down side is just one pressure that is low and just lobbing the material on. In my time using a turbine I found it very hard to get good paint matches with metallic and pearl paints. Using higher end paint like PPG DBC base coat really helped the color matches in those applications vs say Omni MBC. Now DBC is going to match better than MBC no matter what, but in using a real spray gun the mismatches of the MBC are no where near as bad . As far as the too much orange peel with a turbine, that is a fact and the same can be said for any cheap spray gun. If your doing this at home or even in a high end spray booth , you have to wet sand and buff for the most part any way if you want perfection., so I don't see the orange peel as a real deal breaker with a turbine, just the color matches in certain situations, or if you need to match a factory orange peel to perfection. That said I was using a TIP turbine bought 20 years ago, so maybe they have improved , but no matter what will be limited with just one pressure setting for certain color matches.
Samcrac LOVE THE VIDEOS... You gotta go left to right or right to left, full panel length passes overlapping or you will have heavier paint build up in some sections of the panels
*Samcrac is the type of guy to paint Porsche 911 Bumpers in the Inflatable Paint Booth WITHOUT a Compressor*
that's what makes him so cool!
Cool? Far from it.
Like the tee shirt, go leafs go
Nice work! I am considering doing the paint on my 92 5.0 Mustang. Seeing your results gives me a little more courage to try it myself.
Hey Sam, those are called craters. They are from contamination. You need to wipe your bumper down with acetone before you spray
Ooooooooooo sam cracc with the sneak diss! "Ya got the fancy paint gun here doesnt have the cheap ass plastic cup on it has the metal cuz I'm not broke." Daaammmm
Awesome result! Very nicely done.
I like the turbine units, dip your car has been using a similar system for years now. I’ve had nothing but good luck with the Eastwood products I’ve used and currently own👍
It is a great satisfaction to watch our work turnout to be great. congratz man, keep the good work!
Bought 5 vehicles within a year thanks to Sam being helpful when I emailed him with questions.
Looks really great Sam! I'm probably never gonna be able to do this kind of work due to the cost and lack of space but at least I have learned from you how to do it! Thanks
B is for Build better be getting this set up in the future, things would go much smoother with painting the GTR
I watch a few of this guy's videos and always think used car dealer with a string of lights hanging overhead and a fat guy sitting at the doorway to the 'office' smoking a big ft cigar. The perfect used car dealer training manual in video.
Samcrac - the guy who has a tool for everything
That paint booth would be perfect for advanced DIY woodworkers and even small commercial shops running out of space.
Living in a city, I don’t think the neighbors would like it
Good job Sam bumper looks nice
Was always curious how those turbine systems were, I have a much larger compressor so I really don't need one now but years ago probably could have went that direction. Then again I use air for a lot of tools some of which are air hogs. Glad it worked out for you.
Before applying it all over, try the setup on a smaller surface first and then do the necessary adjustments
Those came out great man! Awesome work!
Omg what a perfectionist. Those bumpers look awesome. Can you come and do mine on my Ford Focus?
Maybe charge people to come over and use your booth and equipment when not in use ?, every little helps..
@@skeelo69 trusting people with expensive equipment Especially when youre not there to supervise could lead to way to many problems
If he was a perfectionist he would have a good paint finish.
Friends and Samcrac, don't believe it when you're told that heating the air removes moisture. I sold all sorts of industrial air compressors and blowers for thirty years, and I can tell you with all certainty: "all moisture that comes into your compression system with the air comes out the other end in the form of vapor or spray, unless you remove it with either specialized filtration, desiccant, or refrigeration." Heating the air makes sure that the moisture stays in vapor form, but when you expand compressed air, like at the spray gun nozzle, you cool it rapidly, and the moisture has a tendency to reform into tiny aerosol droplets. Many body shops have refused to believe this ever since the introduction of pressure painting, but they continually fight the battle against "fisheye" as a result.
That is exactly correct. Since Apollo turbines don't compress the air to start there is no squeezing the moisture out. The problem with compressors is the hot air is pushed into a tank to cool before it's used. This is where the water builds up and why it's then transferred into the air lines. With a Turbo Spray System, there is no tank and no compressor. The air is heated as a result of the high speed motor that is spinning in excess of 22,000 RPM. The air is heated as it is pushed through a series of fan blades to he point where it is well over 100 degrees fahrenheit. As a result the humidity in the air is reduced considerably. The air coming through Sam's turbo spray system is less than 10% without the needs for filters. The 5-stage system produces more than 60CFM, but under 10PSI.
Nice work on the bumpers.
FYI The Apollo Eastwood Turbine PaintSystem costs almost $1,300.
If you have enough things that need painted, this might be a great option. Otherwise, it might be best to go with a cheaper option.
Probably not if you are doing work for hire.
He literally talks about the price in the video. Watch the video before making a comment.
By the time you add filters, dryers and a spray gun to a large enough air compressor you will spend more than $1300 unless you go to your local discount tool store and buy something from China.
Yeah, Way to do it Sam !
I like your videos Sam cuz you always throw an educational piece in them so we can learn something new. I try to do that in my vids as well. Make them worth watching as you do so rather than showing us what you ate for launch aka food vlog.
Nice job 👍🏽👌🏼dissapointed there were no chickens in this episode 😜🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
Looks good! Makes me want to paint my own car now!
Your getting so much better mate.
Looking good your doing excellent painting
The only way to use a compressor to paint is with a air dryer unit. That is separate from your compressor. Then you need regulated lines that have drains. That's what I used had no issues. But your system is by far cheaper and very effective. Definitely the best way for a DIY painter..
Your painting is slowly getting better. You still need to perfect it though. Getting it perfect takes practice.
Been watching for a while keep making the great videos. And great paint job!
With all the sanding eventually there will be no bumper left
:) yeah lol
Lightweight
Someone hasn't watch automotion_tv then
Only a small bit of the Top-Coat (Layer) he is sanding of...bla bla bla!?
With a turbine you need to use a slower reducer so it flows out
"This is not a paid promotion"
Did they provide the stuff for free?
Kinda sounded like a loan maybe
Bumpers look awesome Dude. What a great finish 👍
Great video. I did have one major eye roll when Sam said it was "a little cooler today, around 75 degrees". Wish that was the case here. Got a high of like 10 today. I need to get back to Florida.
I bet you could pick up a heater/dehumidifier to turn that tent into a oven to help the paint gas off.
You should watch ammoNYC’s video on the paint job he had done on his 911.
wow they came out great!
That looks really good
I got that same blue point ratchet set with wrenches lol
Came out great crac, it’s gonna be a head turner!
Love the booth!!! I too use a turbine system for work doing bumpers and parts for dealerships. From fords, Chevy, all the way up to Cadillacs bmws all that. You should invest in the 3M turbine paint guns very easy to clean and use. Preferably the higher end ones that's what I use. 3M's system is awesome they have disposable cups in various sizes and the guns last very well as long as you clean them after every use. Love your videos btw! Keep it going
3M no longer makes their turbine system or spray gun. You can use their PPS system with the Eastwood turbine, so you have all the same benefits and the Apollo spray gun gives you equal if not better results.
@@jadarroch that's wierd I just picked up a gun from them 6 months ago. I might have to check on that again because I'm planning on getting another gun for home use.
@@arnolvaquero5391 The only way you will find the Accuspray guns is if a dealer happens to have some left in stock. 3M has not been making any turbines for over a year now. Keep that in mind as getting parts down the line is going to get harder and harder. Might want to consider an AtomiZer instead.
@@jadarroch thanks I'll keep that in mind when I order another gun. I have like 4 currently and 1 for parts
Always enjoy your channel.
Paint looks good
Try using a shop vacuum to get the suck out the air to help in deflation.
Don’t use dish wash. Use proper panel wipe as this will clean contaminants from the surface better and flash off quickly. You can add rocket additive to speed up the basecoat drying process otherwise just be patient. Getting some warm air though your booth not a bad idea. Ultimately there’s no substitute for a good Dalby booth!
I don’t know if you know but you can also use the paint gun that qoonzquad uses it is very durable and they use it all the time and it does some professional job on the cars
I use etching primer on all plastic parts never have issues re paints cost more than doing it right the first time
Put some sandbags inside that booth on the sides to stabilize it
Thanks for sharing all this knowledge with us, and great job on those bumpers.
Can my kid use the inflatable as a play house
Wow Sam, that turned out great!
Your work turned out so good you will want to paint the whole car now.
@11:40 i don't think porsche sends out cars from the factory with orange peeling on the clear coat man, but does look good for someone doing it at home and who isnt a professional painter.
Jumping balloon paint booth is a hit!
NICE SHIRT SAM!!!!!! VGK ALL DAY
The crew of United flight 505 just spotted a spray booth at 35,000 feet over Bermuda 😂
J/k, I am a great admirer of your work. If anybody ever gets rich off of YT it should be you!
Nice job on the bumpers 👍🏼They look great! You can get a good compressor and gun to do some diy painting for well under $1300. My Husky compressor and Eastwood Hvlp gun cost less than half the turbine system. I would love one myself though.
got there in the end Sam!!! looking good!!
Sam hack back at it again!
thumbs up for Vtuned
I wish that inflatable booth was cheaper, I need to plastidip my wagon pretty soon
