Tony mate, I really do appreciate your efforts and as someone who built a new house 3 years ago and started from scratch again with a new workshop and I'm currently starting a home booth and setup, I thank you for your time. I might even throw my own video up for you as I go along to show you my progress. My dad has been an old school French polisher for 50 years, hence my interest in spraying.
That colour is sweet, just a question about the booth as I’d like to get either one of these or a cheaper Chinese one, how long does the overspray take to clear out?? And are they hard to clean up before packing away. Also, what’s the weight on these, is it a 2 person job to move them around,setup and pull down?? Cheers, keep up the great work
Hey Tony, I can''t tell you how many time I've watch this video... This paint job is superb. thanks for this. I am a novice in painting and i was wondering if you can do a video on how to do a ghost image on a car.
I don't know if you understood what I was saying buy I wanted to know the steps on painting a ghost image on a car. The image or pattern can be seen from a certain angle and not be seen from another angle.
This idea for a spray booth is brilliant. I've made a lot if homemade booths through the years but the convenience of this is great. What's the retail on this and how often do u need to change filters?
filter wise it really depends on the workflow i suppose and cant honestly say on that but the filters do last well, reatil is around 5k in the uk but varies depending on country i think
Lovely job mate, very interested in that activated thinner as all my jobs are air dry, can I use it with Maxmeyer ms clear? Also have you got any footage of how to paper mask door and window apertures? I've got my first couple of full car projects coming up. Keep up the great vids.
+Barry Gallagher hi Barry the masking yes I can definitely get a video made on the next job I mask like that for you that's no problem at all , personally I wouldn't use it for ms clear as I think there chance of it shrinking back but I did use it on a job with hs clear the other day and it cured rock hard overnight was very impressed with it for that no shrink no gloss loss or anything
Nice job tony , really enjoy watching your work . You have a good way of explaining things. I m upgrading from my flg , just wondered which is best choice between gti pro or iwata , seem as you use both . Thanks , your opinion is very much appreciated
thanks mate appreciate the feedback and im glad your enjoyng the videos , personally id keep your flg and use that for base and upgrade to the Devilbiss GTI ProLite 1.3 T110 setup for clear
nice job pal. 1st coat you can see it going on wet. I've got Gti pro for clear thinking of getting a new gun. I'm really tempted with pro lite. what gun wud you recommend considering I've used the Gti for almost 10 years
+Tonys_Refinishing I've just watched ur vid on the pro lite. the job looks mint. I've only just started experimenting with air caps find it expensive to buy them and then find out its crap. bur after watching ur I think I'm going to go for a pro lite t110. Cheers bud. great voids I know how hard it is just doing a job never mind making a video at same time so appreciated.
+jim 678 yeah the t110 I just hit it off with instantly for clear was brilliant as so easy to replicate factory or glass finish , there's a few vids using it and definitely my most preferred clear gun by far fella , and happy they have helped mate that's what makes it all worth while in making them so Thankyou for the feedback too
Hey great job!just wondering how long did it take for the overspray to leave when clearing.do the fans pull the fumes out fast enough where you see well while spraying?
Another great vid Tony really enjoyed it. How is the noise level of the booth is it very noisy at full fan? Noisy enough to annoy your neighbours if you set one up for weekend work or not to bad? Sorry if you have answered this previously. Cheers
hi brendan if im honest its not that loud to be fair and no matter what setting the fans are on they dont really get louder tbh, and id say its no louder than having a normal booth running , noise level wise basically its the same level as like a bouncy castle as the blower that inflates the framework is the same type and spec , hope this helps a little
hi daz no i left it lay down for base as i dont have a stand yet that u could stand it up on, when laying the base down during the medium wet coats yes you will get abit of mottle but as soon as you put your drop / effect coats on to even the metallic / pearls in a colour really any mottle should go and you shouldnt have a problem
That’s depending on the tape where it is mate tbh , if the tales round a moulding or something where there’s a risk it would lift the clear if it fully dried then I take it off as soon as it’s flashed off or if it’s fineline etc , anything else will stay in till I’ve polished it most times
@Tonys_Refinishing sorry to ask lots of q's but really interested in your videos :) You clear coated this escort RS in Colomix,is it better than Max Meyer 0200 for overall gloss level and quality or is the Max Meyer a better product?
+SP330Y the max Meyer 0200 is a higher quality clear compared to the colomix but also has double the price tag , for this particular job the budget just wasn't there for the more expensive clear but finished and polished this looks just as good gloss level wise there is no difference
Thanks for reply Tony,Ive contacted Chris at spray guns direct about getting an order together. In your experience would you say the Quartz Kristal clear is better than the Max Meyer 0200 OR do I have to buy Quartz Liquid glass to beat Max Meyer quality?
+Sergei S I had to sell my complete gun collection bar my Iwata in order to fund setting the shop up , My GTI , Evo , Flgs everything bar the W400 but not to worry the prolite will be replaced very soon
+paul griffiths I've used both and they weren't my favourite, MS clear I use colomix it's good clear for the money and HS I like the kapci or the liquid glass for the best results
Can't imagine any Escort left the factory with stunning paint like that.Just bought one exactly the same so thanks for inspiration.
thanks man
Tony mate, I really do appreciate your efforts and as someone who built a new house 3 years ago and started from scratch again with a new workshop and I'm currently starting a home booth and setup, I thank you for your time.

+Deano thanks man and yeah let me know when you get them up buddy and intakes look
Really good videos and I’m learning with each video and I’ve been painting cars for 35 + years
The paint job was worth more than the car---now together, Priceless...
Duno what planet you live on... But average cost of a full respray £2000-£2500..
Escort RS value? Absolutely mental prices... Rarity...
Nice job bud, the booth did a great job.
thanks fella taken me abit to get the hang of with everything but getting there now
Awesome little booth set-up...... Iwata Bellaria is my favourite gun too.
+Shaun Walburn it's been my favourite all rounder since I bought it can do any job with ease all with a single setup
Good work you really do and well done restoring the ford escort rs turbo.
Thanks simon
This video makes me want to respray my vw golf mark 2 😊

how do you mean mate

Okay Thanks.

+jim 678 my favourite clear gun would be the prolite with the t110 air cap tbh that for me with a decent grade clear really does perform effortlessly
+Tonys_Refinishing have you tried the t20 air cap and if you have what do you think?
+jim 678 il be honest mate I never got round to using it with the te20
+Tonys_Refinishing I've just watched ur vid on the pro lite.
the job looks mint. I've only just started experimenting with air caps find it expensive to buy them and then find out its crap. bur after watching ur I think I'm going to go for a pro lite t110.

Sweet Tony
thanks man
Another great video

Another great vid Tony really enjoyed it. How is the noise level of the booth is it very noisy at full fan? Noisy enough to annoy your neighbours if you set one up for weekend work or not to bad? Sorry if you have answered this previously. Cheers

Tonys_Refinishing Thanks Tony that's a big help. Cheers
nice work,this 1k?i know nothing about paints just did not see you put hardener in.cheers
+James leicher hi James the colour was
Solvent basecoat so just paint and thinners for that stage the clear though is 2k
Tonys_Refinishing cheers Tony
Banging job mate,when you did the bonnet did you stand it up to base? I find it goes mottley when sat down. Thumbs up
hi daz no i left it lay down for base as i dont have a stand yet that u could stand it up on, when laying the base down during the medium wet coats yes you will get abit of mottle but as soon as you put your drop / effect coats on to even the metallic / pearls in a colour really any mottle should go and you shouldnt have a problem
Clean job👌what temperature is in spray booth.?
thanks it runs ambient temperature
awesome job... mate
+Pat pattiboy thanks fella

Super ... man ;)
Hi Tony
Really nice work where are you based? I have a kit fibreglass ac cobra that needs a re paint.
Shaun
hi shaun im based in cheshire , my email for enquiries is in the video description on the newer videos if you want to get in touch
With you letting it air dry when do you remove the masking tape, thanks
That’s depending on the tape where it is mate tbh , if the tales round a moulding or something where there’s a risk it would lift the clear if it fully dried then I take it off as soon as it’s flashed off or if it’s fineline etc , anything else will stay in till I’ve polished it most times
Tonys_Refinishing thanks again

+SP330Y liquid glass by far in my opinion
How much paint job cost same has that please same colour
depends what condition the car is in but around £3k upwards based on our current rates
What happens when the booth starts shedding off all the paint and clear coat.
Honestly if you keep up a small amount of
Good housekeeping with it the same as any both then there’s no real issue
why don't we see your gti pro light ?
+Sergei S I had to sell my complete gun collection bar my Iwata in order to fund setting the shop up , My GTI , Evo , Flgs everything bar the W400 but not to worry the prolite will be replaced very soon
its the one gun from all i had that can do everything , direct gloss , wet on wet primer , basecoat and clear so thats why i kept it
Hello friend from Spain. that inflatable paint booth sucks varnish well as a workshop booth. Greetings
its not as good as a proper booth no but is good for what it is mate thats for sure
@@TonysRefinishingTV Does a lot of varnish cloud stay? I want to buy one. more less than the price where you bought it? thanks
Wearing a hoodie during clearcoat. Why not just shake yesterday's socks above the fresh paint? :(
+Martin Allen yes I get what you mean but some days things aren't so easy and at this point we were still very much getting set up properly
when I use reducer I always get shrinkage
you Shouldnt get shrinkage with normal reducer/thinners tbh aslong as its good quality thinner
+Tonys_Refinishing what clear do you use the most. I only use max Mayer 0200 and 0300 not my choice it's my boss. I don't like them tbh
+paul griffiths I've used both and they weren't my favourite, MS clear I use colomix it's good clear for the money and HS I like the kapci or the liquid glass for the best results
+Tonys_Refinishing where do you buy them from
+paul griffiths what type of reducer are you using atm
shes looking good!😊nice finish mate 😉
booth worked well!
thanks man and yeah the booth works brilliantly
