Always helpful man. Thanks.
Cheers man
Great tips as usual!
Thanks
Never knew about the waterfall type booths, learned something cool today!
They’re neat. Check out JNColor on Instagram. He works at fender custom shop and uses one.
Thanks, Brad. I built a fairly elaborate knock-down paint booth with tons of light and a good exhaust system. I use it in my basement to do guitars and other stuff. Although it is enclosed, I had a lot of dust nibs until I started using Brad's spray bottle strategy. This has reduced dust nibs by at least 90%.
Nice!
Good video brotheman, lots of cool tips in this one.
Thanks boss. Does Chris have anything he thinks should be added?
@@BradAngove Maybe he will chime in, he has lots of techniques to keep the paint work grit free. We spent the morning with Mike Learn... he seems to be immune to crap getting in his paint too.
I’m sure you could dump a bag of crushed Doritos on a fresh paint job from Mike and he could just add it to the design.
@@BradAngove Dude... don't give away our paint scheme for the GGBO
When I was a kid, my neighbor had a garage he had two big fans in that exhausted to outside. He used to put up plastic sheeting and wet his floor. He would paint some amazing things. It just goes to show you can spray at home. I
You make me feel very proud of my crappy cardboard setup 😅 Thanks, man!
I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not but you referenced one of the common ways people make DIY paint booths with the tent comment. A cheap tent with a cutout for a fan to blow air out is one if the simpler DIY paint booths.
Indeed.
Nice uploadn
Thanks
We used to do the water thing when I refinished cars. It helped tremendously. 👍
Ya, I love that trick.
I’ve never used one that way, but it doesn’t surprise me that the clear would eventually cure without the catalyst. I’m not sure if it would reach the same level of hardness, but it should dry.
Oh, very interesting. I guess maybe with a complete absence of air in the can it didn’t harden, but that still surprises me since the reaction should happen over a couple days even without the air.
Hey Brad,
Have a bit of dust on my black paint. I am going to follow your excellent instructions, for the rest of the project.
Any recommendations to sand down dust areas? I'm guessing wait to dry, sand down with 1500 grit lightly, and then following your instructions for paint?
Go with 800. 1500 is too fine and will make it hard for your next coat to stick.
Great idea with the water spray !
Thanks John!
Got this Wen filtration system at Home Depot but someone told me it's good for particles not paint fumes so gonna need to use a fan and blow the paint dust away from my truck when painting it.
Yup whenever I do touch ups on my car I always get the ground wet first, or if evan painting walls or ceilings and I dont have enough drop cloths I mop the floor so dust dont kick up also paint won't stick to the floor either.
Ya, that’s the way to do it.
Today I had a huge problem with dust while priming with vallejo primer. I had my spraybooth on like always but still it did not work. I blowed dust from the floor, washed my spray booth. Now I need to sand away dust and prime it again and its so annoying. I hate dust.
You dont need to prime again, just sand it
I have a question can I spray Dupli-Color DAP1689 White General Purpose Sandable Primer over nitro lacquer that was spray 3 weeks ago and then Dupli-Color BFM0229 Oxford White?
Not yet. Nitro continues to dry over the course of about a month and can shrink during that time. Wait another week or two and then sand your nitro with 400 grit. Then you can go over it with the acrylic lacquers from duplicolor.
@@BradAngove Yes I know about the shrink problem I had painted a tele body white and then used Stewmac clear stain over it the next day I had little lines running all over the it. I will wait another week or 2 to try with the Dupli-Color.
Wish you would have made this video a coupe weeks ago before I did the spray poly finish on my first Les Paul build :(
Got a bit of texture in there?
Yeah just a little bit of dust. Not too bad but these tips would have been super helpful
would a humidifier /vaporizer work? if you ran it IN the room while doing your spraying?
The concern there is that excess humidity can actually cause problems with your paint, including a white haze under it that looks quite odd.
I was gunna say TT already showed us the best way they wet everything down with a gentle solvent like coors light
The most gentle haha. It’s also great for putting out fires or rinsing out empty bottles that used to contain actual beer so they won’t stink up the recycle area.
@@BradAngove i laughed way to hard at that
@@BradAngove I'm in Denver I could probably power one of those Fender waterfalls with Coors Light cheaper than actual water
Reminds me of that old "beer drinking guide" that was floating around on the internet
Problem: your beer tastes like water
Answer: A: someone is trying to sober you up or B: they handed you a Coors Lite
Solution: punch him!
Hi Brad
Howzitt in the great white north? Nothing but the best to you and your beloved wife.

Hi David. It is ridiculously hot up here right now, but generally not bad. How are you?
@@BradAngove
We'll Brad
It's 103°F or a smidge of a nibbin under 40°C here. One of the guys I work with hit my GMC classic truck so it's in body shop getting that R rear quarter repaired and painted. Its a 56 corvette color called cascade green. It's been a day under a week I'm hoping it's done soon. Where I normally live its 80°F so it's a bit hotter over here where I'm getting this rear pannel body and paint repainted to match rest of my pick up. Try to stay cool or get in the water at the lake or river.
Best David
Enjoy kicking guitar design and finish quality butt.
As a guy who likes a nice autumn breeze, all of that heat sounds generally unpleasant. Sorry to hear about your truck; I hope they do a great job fixing it up.
@@BradAngove
It a 12 hr. job today it's been a week last night they were supposed to shoot primer on it and they'll likely be blocking it out maybe into 2nd or 3rd coat primer who knows? Maybe they'll squirt some coats of cascade green on it.
Best to you I think to days even a couple of degrees hotter up here today Holy Snikey! It's a real smoker up here.
May cooler convection winds blow.
Best David
Funny thing we were just debating this in a guitar finishing group on Facebook someone suggested buying a tent and painting guitars in it I shared my pro tip of using a portable greenhouse from Walmart it's got a big enough space up top for a fan I know it's not the best thing in the world and I did tell them at some point they need something better but at the time they were just doing it by hanging a whatever they're painting in a barn with a dirt floor and a tarp over it so I figured it would be at least better than that
Sounds like it would definitely be an improvement.
@@BradAngove ya I figured if nothing else it would be a cheap bandaid for a guy on a budget who maybe paints 3-4 kit guitars a year a lot of people in the group also told him about spraying water to keep the dust down he posted some pictures of it today he managed to get a greenhouse about the size of a tent that he can walk in anyway only cost him $100 then he made a pallet floor reinforced with plywood then he wrapped the bottom with a tarp and stapled it to the bottom edge of the plastic material from the sides of the greenhouse (basically a clear green tarp but a bit more durable) and hooked a fan up in the roof of it and he's got it in the shade of his barn to control temperature as much as possible in this Texas heat turned out to be a pretty nice set up for under $150
Sounds like a pretty solid option actually.
Great video. So get a hose and soak your paint booth until there's water on the floor. Got it!👍👌😂😂😂😂
Pretty much haha
Do you have any tips for people who have to paint outside?
Don’t paint in direct sunlight, put down a tarp and wet it, make sure it’s a warm dry day, and consider getting something like one of those portable greenhouses from Walmart or something similar to use as a makeshift spray booth.
@@BradAngove Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
About rubber things into the router:
Had a very bad experience putting the "rubber sanding things" into the router, it almost exploded on me: the sanding attachment bent and started shaking all over the place...and I barely managed to switch it off. Never in my life did I have that much adrenaline.
Mine is a 25000rpm router without speed adjustment, so with adjustable speed this could work...
But man, was this scary!
Yikes! Ya, it definitely only works on the variable speed at the low setting.
I always hang my piece out under my back deck on a dry day over70 degrees and don't second coat till you can no longer smell the paint
How has that been going for you?
@@BradAngove it is great no dust, no fumes to breathe, and paint seems to dry faster , the only thing I struggle with is when paint is thick getting the spray pattern with the right viscosity. I like it about 5in wide at a foot away.
Is it totally necessary to use explosion proof fans in a spray room when spraying nitrocellulose?
Nitrocellulose fumes are extremely flammable, so I would say yes.
Just just need something with no spark really.
@@BradAngove You pretty much need sealed motors on the fans. I've been thinking about these things as I get ready to do my first guitar. I'll probably spray outside in one of those little bench top spray tents but I have to wait for the humidity to go down.
Ya, the no spark is a safety measure, but a sealed motor will prevent you from ruining your fan too quickly.
Hey haven't seen you in awhile.
I’ve been here haha
So funny!
Which part?
Id say another tip leaf blow the area clear a few hours before painting.
Even worse when using a gun and compressor than a can! I have a room that I only paint in that has a large extractor pulling air! Send me some windex cos the stuff in the UK is garbage hahaha... We have banned most chemicals you can get.happy new haircut brother 👊 looking good!
Haha thanks Stu. I actually filmed this one a while ago.
@@BradAngove so your still a hippy then? Our barbers are open now so bit of man pampering in order!
Oh no, I’ve gotten a couple haircuts since the closure happened haha.
I'm surprised you didnt use "Coors Light", since its 99.9% water anyhow... (Sorry Matt, couldnt resist. Silver bullet and Miller Light are my two favs also)
Just hose the booth down with it? That would be hilarious.
That's what we use
@@TexasToastGuitars use Molson, save the good stuff!!!
Good way to always have your booth smell the way my house does on a Sunday morning...
Oh yes the humidity! I had to redo a black guitar because of that. 🤦🏻♂️
damn. no fun.
Water and a shit load of hot air from texas toast... Lol. J/K of course.
Ooooh shots fired
Numero uno?
Ci
Waterfall in paint booth sounds cool
Sanding in your bedroom - not cool
We all know what I did :v
It's surprising how dust gets everywhere
Ya, dust is almost as bad as overspray for somehow ending up in places you never would have anticipated...
What on Earth has this got to do with trashing Texas Toast? 😉
I just made this video to teach them a few tricks...
Jeez you are so handsome.. and I'm a lesbian!
I guess I should thank you for not calling me pretty then haha. I hope you enjoyed the video.
The shop I'm working at right now might as well be a dust factory. Outside is red dirt, no asphalt or cement except at the entry ways. Pretty much impossible to have a clean job, I've tried everything.
Have you tried hanging some poly around where you’re spraying, and then misting water on it before you spray?
