How Our HOMEMADE Spray Booth Works! 

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.

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 👍

If you want it to work how you want, you gotta build it yourself. Great booth gavin

Nice to see the evolution of the Booth as well. Keep up the good work.

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

Cracking set up you have. Everything in its place and nothing out of place 😎👍

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

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!

Great tour of your spray booth many thanks for sharing gavin 👍

with the jobs i seen done it works very well. well done

Lovely set up! You have my respect 🫡

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

Looks the business mate you’ve done a cracking job of that spray booth 👍

A really good video. The booth is very Simply put together, but very effective and definitely worth the redecoration. Nice one 👍👍

Un vídeo del área de preparación, herramientas y con todo lo que cuenta tu taller 👌👌👌👌👌

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 .

Absolutely howling at those noises that kid Duncan made as he was sweeping. 😂 😂

very good to know a 36 inch fan will clear the booth so long as the intake filter surface is suffient

Great homemade booth I think grant wishes he’d built his own now!

Muy buenos videos amigo

Pro setup !

Nice one 👍🏼 👌🏽

That was really interesting, thanks a lot

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 👍👍👍

Looks good

This is awesome

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.

Nice spray booth

cracking job

Looks fantastic

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 🤔

Nice work ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

Very nice

PARFAIT 👍 Merci

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?

First Class....!!!

Great setup and super clean like the others have said. What stops the torpedo heater blowing dust all over the wet paint?

We have our up and wanting to know what is best to put on the walls and floor.

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.

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.

I must admit the dry lining looks pucker!!

Great video please could you tell me what the measurements of the booth are and you thoughts too big too small or just right?

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?

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?

Be nice if you would show the complete build from start to end. Very nice!

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.

This is a great set-up. Better than an actual paint booth. What did u use to seal the doors to avoid dust intake?

really nice paint booth...how many m3/hour is the fan???

Hi , could you show how the heater plenum works and how its built please.

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.

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)

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.

👍 Good Job Gavin G B U

Awesome! Roughly how much did this cost you in total?

Where did you get the lights from ? Also what make and size fan is the one you used ..? That isna great booth 👌

One question what are the doors made of? The doors to get the car inside the booth

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. :)

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!

Super set up is that a 3 phase or single phase fan Gavin would you know the make of it also, TIA

Was that an epoxy based paint on the floor? How do you go cleaning up the floor after a job?

How air tight are your booth doors? Changing mine now what’s the best way to build them so they are fully air tight?

How much to have this particular booth built?

Great video 👍 what’s the hardest colour to paint ??

Great Job! What's the size?

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

What size compressor are you using?

what is the paint booth size?

Whats the size of booth

How to find door for spray Booth?

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.

What’s materials did you use if you could share

Hello how many m3/ hours is your fan?

Why do you use gas heater and not diesel?

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

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 😂

Mate are you in Essex?

IS CHEWSDAY INNIT????

Wow, blows my redneck pop up cover out the water.
