- In this video I take you along as I paint this custom 1968 Camaro for my buddy Jim from start to finish. We have been restoring this Camaro for the last 3 years. Every panel has been replaced and it has full @detroitspeed suspension and mini tubs. The color is a Chrysler passion red in DBC base coat with DCU2002 clear.

Spray mask that I use:
3M spray mask amzn.to/3BsYfEU
I'm having my full on paint booth installed at my home this weekend so I can do a paint at "Home" paint job. LOL!
Hahaha this was built out of scrap plywood and 2x4s
I like your work. When you make videos go easy on the music. 1 song per video. Its hard to watch this stuff at night time when everyone is asleep😂
Hahaha I'll remember that!!!!
Just a tip/ friendly advise. Don’t spray half the panel. Spray the full panel and run the perimeter first. Spraying half and half you end up with a double layer of paint where you joined them. It’s also possible on some metallics and pearls to see it in the paint. You want a nice steady consistent flow across the whole panel. That way it’s all on the same coat and there’s no seam of paint overlap. You want it to flow perfectly with no breaks in the direction of the paint flow. Also a push and pull method works really well to help avoid orange peal and overspray. Start from one side of the car at the bottom and work your way up to the roof. Start from other side of roof and pull the paint down. That way it’s not letting overspray directly fall on fresh paint you just laid. Paint didn’t turn out too bad on the car though. Love the color!
Thank you!!!!
While good advice not necessarily true! Ever heard or Blending? Happens everyday in every paint booth on the planet! Ur basically saying if U start at the bottom of a car n pull your wet line all the way over the top U have no overlap! Also NOT TRUE! About the only time I would entirely agree with that is if U are spraying Candy! With that being said it isn't a bad idea to spray every job as if it were candy. Basecoat clear coat it just isn't that critical. N He did a good job!
You nailed it my man. So true what you said. Experience does count. Despite all that he managed to lay it all down perfectly. That gun pressure was pretty high too with a huge fan. I don't know how he did it, but he did. It looks awesome !!
i know why you like the gun,after the first 3 minutes,that gun throws the material on real fast,i like that,saves a lot of time,your work is flawless,excellent paint,the hue is beautiful
Thank you, yeah I love that gun, it makes me look like I know what im doin lol
@@ACDesignsGarage YOU DO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING,i watched your overlap with that gun,you got it down pat,the mix and the gun and the knowing how to overlap will get you what you want,the gun is terrific,gonna buy one for sure,i also like to throw that paint on quick,DRYING TIMES ARE EVERYTHING,BUT YOU KNOW THAT,YOU DO GOOD WORK,NEVER,EVER SECOND GUESS YOURSELF,YOU'RE DOING FINE,ENJOY,AND WEAR THOSE RESPIRATORS,A FRIEND OF MINE,GOT GREEDY AND PAINTED 5 IN ONE WEEK END,i bought him a 100.00 respirator with extra filters 4 total,he plugged them all up on the trucks and ran out on the last one,and put a scarf around his face,he died 8 weeks later from the hardeners plugging up his lung sacs,he died screaming,tell everyone,i promised him i would alert the world,you too,wear your respirators and live to paint hundreds of cars,the body dust will end you too,doing this will allow all of us years of fun doing cars
@@strattuner thank you very much, yeah i agree wear that PPE you only got one set of lungs!!!!!
@@strattuneryeah we’ve had patients that over few years didn’t wear a respirator come in and don’t last very long or get cancer just die in pain. That spray ain’t no joke
@@pmp2559 pitiful way to die,i've warned a lot of people in the trades,those who are wise listen
How to paint your muscle car at (HOME)??? I don't have a spray booth at my home.
Its just a plywood booth lol, all you need is a fan filters and agarage
@@ACDesignsGarage Wow! It looks like a high dollar spray booth. Where do you get fan filters?
@@victoroneill7924 its a home built booth out of 2x4s and plywood my buddy built, we use furnace filters, they work pretty good!!!!
he means watching it
❤❤❤❤fantástico ❤❤❤❤
Somebody finally got some background music worth hearing on RUclips! Good choice! Color in this Camaro is awesome too...🖖🏿😎👍🏿
Thanks man,!!!! We must have the same taste in great music lol
I just love body lines that are extra crisp like that it shows an 'improved' product over factory to me. Wow!
Thank you ,Im a big fan of them also, it just makes the look high end to me!!! Thanks for watching!!
Got a woody just watching this paint video. Damn beautiful.
Hahahaha
So Cool
Thank you very much!!!
That color is something else, fantastic job!
Thank you very much, check out the 1968 camaro play list to see it out in the sun, man she pops!!!!
Gr8 colour
Thank you!!!
I have a 67, 68, and a 69 Camaro.. along with two other muscle cars I will need painted. you do INCREDIBLE WORK! beautiful job man !
Thank you, sounds like you have a good problem lol
Wow !!! Looked real good with just the paint, but the clear gloss put it over the top !!! Awesome
I like that gun mount on the side of the bench, capitol idea! Smooth as F
I try to make everything eaiser lol
Brother you are working that sprayer like a paint brush........ amazing
Thank you very much for the kind words!!!!!!
Man, you’re good. Smooth fast.
Thank you very much!!!
Absolutely beautiful! I love the color!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Gold candy pearl would look amazing.
Yeah that would be a good accent!!
How to PAINT your Muscle Car (at HOME), first shot of the video... Paint booth. But anyway, awesome job and awesome car.
Its actually a home built booth out of plywood and 2x4s at home, but you dont have to have this we just paint several cars a year. I use to paint outside alot with good results. Thanks for watching.
Raise the pressure up a little on that Slim Kombat, Then get closer to the panel and spray faster and you won’t have such bad orange peel. They are good guns, But have you tried the Evo, Carbonio??? They are sweet… Also, Try a 1.2 tip in your Kombat!!!
Thanks man ill try that, id love to try that Carbonio!!!
That is a beautiful color. It really looks fantastic.
Thank you, it looks awesome out in the sun. It is a factory Dodge color, they put it on the challengers,jeeps and the 3500 trucks. Thanks for watching!!!!!!!
Awesome job man, looks stellar! That setup is awesome too! I’d love to see how you built it
13:38 uff, i like it
Thank you!!!!
I kinda like the matte finish. But either way that is a damn fine job. The car looks awesome. The clear makes it pop a whole lot more.
Thank you, I think it did look pretty awesome matte finished!!!!!
Nice finish but I would spray the whole flank of the car in one for an even coat.
Beautiful bodywork n paint! Bakersfield, CA
Thank you very much, hope to head to your part of the world for the next Grand National Roadster Show in 23
DAMN out of the park my friend!!😳😳👍💪🙏✝️
Thank you very much!!!
This is why the top builder paint them in pieces. And that looks like a spray booth.
I painted it in pieces bolted and gap everything then wet sanded the jambs based the whole car and dusted the jambs again then cleared the whole thing so there are no tape lines any where. This is a home made paint booth, made from plywood and lights and a sealed squirrel cage fan for exhaust
It's Look very professionell, gratulation and very good view by the explain ,especially how they also slowly show the gun when spraying.
Well done.
Thank you very much !!!!!!
Absolutely stunning work wow
Thank you very much!!!!
Looks fantastic! Looks like PRV paint code from Dodge.
Very clean and straight body 👏
Well done!
Thank you , you nailed it on the color PRV!
@@ACDesignsGarage
Thought so..
Its a really nice colour.
How you liking the Walcom? I was thinking on buying it awhile back, but never pulled the trigger on the purchase. I use a Tekna Prolite and Tekna Base for my colours, and Iwata W400 Bellaria for clear.
I hope one day I can get a body shop and a paint booth….at my home?
Just build one like this one. Its just made from scrap plywood and 2x4s and alot of elbow grease
Really nice work brother keep it coming 👏
Thanks man, I've been a fan and subscriber to your channel for years!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage thank you brother
Love that color Wow!
Thank you, i love the color also, the customer picked it out!!
Great video! Paint turned out beautiful!
Thank you!!!!!!
Great color ! Great job ! Love the flake !
Thank you, check out the car finished out in the sun on my 1968 camaro playlist, it really pops!!!!
This guy is modest.. 😁 "DBC base... Deltron DCU 2002".. That's PPG Base & Clear.. aka the good stuff.
Hahaha its is pretty good stuff, global is a lil better but alot more money lol
Beutiful car, color and job.
Thank you!!!!!!
Love the color! My k2500 chevy would be killer this color.
I bet it would look awesome!!!!
Hit the like to reference that spray gun! Killer job brother!!
Thank you very much!!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage It my pleasure!
That looks AWESOME… Great Job
Thank you
Man that is SAAAAALICK!!!! And your right body work does look legit. Great job man. Beautiful work. That color is crazy cool. Would love a Gibson Custom guitar in that color.
Thanks, Super appreciate it!! Yeah this color would look sick on a guitar!!
Wow your body work really paid off awesome job
Thank you, after 18 years of painting I still worry about it till that first coat of clear is on, lol
Setting up a dust free area is the first step.
Looks great.
Thank you!!!!
Well you sure made that look easy! Awesome work. That’s some paint 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thanks buddy, that was a long 12 hour day hahaha
Sure did make it look 👀 easy . I’m doing my own bodywork and was gonna pay someone else to paint . After watching this I think I’ll give it a try. Great video and work thanks
wow!
Thank you!!!!!
Cool color 😎
Thank you!!!!!!!
I try to find a cool color for the 65 tempest
@@CabinontheHill that would be a awesome look on that tempest for sure
Well it looks great somehow.
I've never seen anybody jump all over the place when spraying the paint.......
Hahaha theres more than 1 way to skin a cat. It probably comes from years of painting heavy equipment. I use to spray 50 gallons a week during auction time lol.
Good man!! Ppg all the way! Dcu2002 is the best! The day they discontinue it will be a sad day
Agreed, I love that stuff ,thanks for watching
Keep it up brother! Enjoyed watching nice clean paintwork! You would think since ive been painting 23yrs it would get old but really enjoy watching peoples technique and how they do things. Gotta be open book in this trade always something to learn! Best of luck to ya and keep on laying down glass!
“at HOME” in your professional paint booth¡
Made out of plywood and 2×4 studs not a professional booth, nice but not bought.
@@ACDesignsGarage well the title is misleading, because most people don't have a professional paint booth at home or even the space to build their own. Maybe the title should be "How to PAINT your muscle car (in a professional paint booth)..." doesnt matter if you built it and its at your house, its still a professional paint booth.
Ok...step one...own a paint booth...
Got it.
Lol this is my buddys home made booth, you don't need it but it is nice to have. I have a metal carport at my house that turns just as nice of paint jobs as this but mine is not air-conditioned lol, I have a video going up this week on a walk around of this booth, its a simple build made from plywood and 2x4s.
@@ACDesignsGarage ok...i will retract some of my snark. It looked more like a professional booth than that. A buddy of mine just suggested something very similar using a car port...
@@ericvernon1182 hahahahaha no worries im fixin to up load a tour of the booth this evening if you wanna check it out!!!
I love it!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Who cant paint ? Body work is the challenge.
I will agree a lil, anyone can weld but it may break lol I did the sheet metal body work and the paint and color sand and buff !
That is very nice and the pearl is tricky to see exactly what color it is. Yes, some red but almost a dark copper. I will have to it in the sunshine for sure.
I have sit on the back porch at sons house and look at colors of car, truck and SUV’s. Folks, in my eye so much is boring, very few in the copper family and even then, it is too orange.
This is cool. Retired ASE master tech.
Thank you for the kind words, I do the same thing, but most cars nowdays the colors dont pop, there just drab.
@@ACDesignsGarage And are all throw away cars! Not meant to be fixed but driven for 12-18 years then junked!
@@deankay4434 so true, there just like appliances, use it ,then trash it.
@@ACDesignsGarage Funny you say that as I pulled washing machine motor Father’s Day, spray dab of penetrating oil then spin free as it was harder to turn. Motor oil went next, wheel bearing grease on motor slide, belt still good, have printed schematic for this 30 year old Maytag pair and discovered the “Truth” table on timer/reed switch assembly and figured it out. Never made sense as they use circle on switch 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14. The timer shows T/C & B/C but 3 rows of 8 contacts. Hit me like a ton of feathers. Got the Fluke 87-5 out and found it means top contacts to center, Bottom row of contacts to middle. Colors matched & wires are inked with markings on schematic. Finished but took dryer vent apart a middle & ran vacuum hose both directions, works super! Raised 4 kids and clothes from two adults. I guess 1.2 million loads went thru both!
Oh, 12 florescent light fixtures in garage, all the ballast started to fail within a month apart or less. I got at box of 1” tubes, LED’s by-pass ballast, changed them out, never been brighter. Even to calculator works at any angle. Wired sons 81 El Co (500 HP/Bench build 4L6e and 3rd diff, but it got painted all summit white B/C. He never took photos of twin fan relays, wires or sensor. So started over. 150 amp 2 mini ANL fuse block at battery for starter & alt. From alt. to 3 way 70 amp, 2) 40 amp mini ANL fuses to new fuse center to run fans, choke relay, inside fuse block, stop lamp/4-way flasher, ignition switch, all head lamps thru 10 amp ATC fuses, 5 amp to twin fan relays grounded by temp switch at thermostat, 7.5amp to choke relay and done. I need a day off!
Awesome job
Thank you!!!!!!!
Great job
Thank you!!!!!!!!
Good job 👏🏻 💯 ❤
Thank you very much!!!!!
Fantastic job, looks great! 😎👍
Thank you very much!!!!!
Doesn't exactly look like my "at home" painting setup. That said you did a heck of a job.
Lol thanks but it just made out of plywood and 2x4s then painted. The exhaust fan is just a squirrel cage fan and regular florescent lights. Just a lil time and money lol. But if your gonna just paint 1 car its not necessary. Thanks for watching!!!
@@ACDesignsGarage Well you've done a great job on the booth and are a very good painter and the ghosted bumble bee stripe sure topped off that job. Thanks for sharing.
@@porschmn thank you, its my buddys booth, not sure I have the patience to build one lol
Beautiful job!
Thank you very much!!!
This is very nice💯
Thank you!!!!!!
You have any contact info?
Beautiful color... tell your buddy Jim it is a 67 Camaro... LOL
It actually a 68 SS but we shaved the markers hahahahaha
🚨 *That a paint booth sir not a “home paint job” now maybe u have a “ home paint booth”*
Yes it is a home paint job ,the booth is really not as important as how you move around the vehicle to keep down trash.that is just a painted plywood room with lights and a squirrel cage fan for exhaust. Thanks for watching!!!!!
Looking good bro
Thank you very much!!!!!!
Love the color. Looks like glass. Keep spraying
Thank you very much!!!!
Nice job man!
Thank you very much!!!!
Good color...I've got a camaro too..69.
I love those 69 Camaros!!!!
Just stumbled upon your channel absolutely love the setup any chance of a spray booth setup video? Thank you
Yeah I may try to do that next week, thanks for the comment!!!
Nice color
Thank you!!!!!!
looks nice!
Thank you very much!!!!
Awesome
Thank you!!!!!!
My home doesn't have a fancy paint paint booth.
Unless your gonna pait several cars its really overkill, this is my buddys. I just cover up my 2 car garage and paint but the problem is it takes a day to get ready to paint instead of pulling in the car and get to painting.
Hey I was wondering why did you put in the captions paint your car at home?? it's clearly not at home?? it's in a paint booth, Isn't that kind of wrong to say are you trying to get people just to watch your videos?????
No its at home, it's a paint booth made out of plywood a d 2x4s, paint booths don't make the paint job alot of prep and time does. All a booth does is keep trash out of the paint.
How to PAINT your Muscle Car (at HOME)1968 Camaro Show Car if you have a paint booth or a garage
Ive painted cars outside you just have more buffing to do, but it can be done. My first hotrod was painted on a open concrete pad and actually turned out pretty good. All a booth does is control the atmosphere.
The paint job & colour was awesome, I wonder how it would look with white pearl SS stripes over the top.
Thanks, that would probably look awesome, we did a gold pearl bumblebee ghost stripe on the nose. I have a video on it in my 1968 camaro playlist if you want to check it out.
@@ACDesignsGarage had a look & that subtle ghost stripe & it did look like it suited the colour. Very nice.
that's either a 67 Camaro or the side marker lights were deleted? either or the Body & paint turned out very nicely,
My garage doesn’t have all that equipment,so it would be tough to do at my house
At My personal all i have is some lights and a fan, it works pretty good, im gonna do a video on my personal shop and the cars that i painted there.
Is that Stan Lee
When you are sweeping on a large panel area, are you lifting your trigger finger, or do you keep it flowing and sweep off and back with trigger depressed.
I just let off the fluid and keep the air flowing, kinda like a half trigger pull the when I come back to the pannel I go back to full trigger till I get to the end again.
TOP !
Hello, we don't see you sanding between the layers of paint and varnish ???
With the base coat clear coat system I use you dont have to sand between coats as long as your in the recoat window. Usually 15 to 20 minutes between coats. Thanks for watching!!!
Very nice job man looks amazing! Love the color choice you made. Its nice to see 1 stand apart from all the others.
Thank you!!! The customer picked the color and it turned out great I think.
Love the tunes.whos playing it?
I cant remember the name, it came off of epidemic sound!
I have a 1969 camaro that I'm going to paint it will be metallic on the roof do I have to make one pass from the front to back or if I do like half then the other half how far do I over lap so I do not get any tiger stripes and same thing on the sides thanks Bob.
Thanks for watching, It tends to work better to go from front to back because when you stop it can cause a build up where you start and stop. I like your idea on the roof. I personally would start spraying in the middle of the roof spraying from front wind sheild to rear and work your way twords the outside of the roof, then go to the other side and start in the middle where you've already sprayed then work your way out tword you. I do like 3 coats or till covered the turn down your pressure a little and just kinda fog the last coat your gun should be around 1ft. From the pannel on this coat, (aka) drop coat and it will even out your metallics.
Awesome job!!! I see that you didn't jams first, is that just a preference or dempends on the job? I see some guys have the hood, doors and trunk off and painted off the car, is that just a preference as well? Where do you get the paint gun at?
Thank you!!! Alot depends on the type job. Most of the time I jamb it first then put it together which alows touch up. Then I wetsand the jambs and leave the doors shut while I spray color on the rest of the car then on the last coat of clear I open the jambs and spray the whole car with clear including the jambs and leave all the doors open till it drys. This leaves zero tape lines. Just for full custom jobs.I got the paint gun from @motivatedpainters on youtube.
Looks great but at home? You have a booth at home! Cool
Its a home made booth, but we paint several cars, you don't need one if your gonna paint one or two cars ,its at my buddys house. Ill have a video on the design of it this weekend
Love it I wish I had the Space! Great job looks clean too.
What home has that badass setup? 🤣
A car guy thats a painter lol
Looks great I keep seeing first Gen cameros being painted really makes me miss my old 69 RS/SS big block that I asked my parents to sell when I was headed to Bosnia in 1982 as a young Marine … what a mistake I should have just had it stored until I retired in 2011 …. Question why didn’t you paint under the deck lid and hood ?
I think if I was to do one now I would have it done on a rotisserie with a frame off paint job so the bottom could be painted as well I know it is a lot of work but it’s well worth it finding an old muscle car in good condition with no body filler is very difficult these days I’ve been looking
Thank you for your service 🙏 to our amazing country!!!!! Man id love to have a big block 69!!! Yes I slick painted the bottom of the hood and deck lid, go to my channel and look at the 68 camaro playlist and I have the full build on this car!!! Thanks for the support 👍
@@ACDesignsGarage
Sounds good
My honor to serve 🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is a uni-body....no frame
Wow what color is this???
Its a factory dodge color I think its passion red pearl it came on jeep Cherokee, dodge rams and challengers
Why do I keep seeing these videos of these cars
Not sure lol
What's the gun and part # I need a good base coat gun thanks
I bought it from motivated painters here on youtube if you want to message him, its a great gun!!!!
As a painter myself and I'm certainly not a pro and in my opinion you're a pro but why didn't you do door jams and all that trim work first and then prep the body for paint and paint just the body?? That's alot of spraying at one time and alot of work to keep up with and worrying about shutting a door on wet paint etc etc and man what a beautiful color and car
Thank you!!! What I do is jamb the car out then back tape the door and usually just spray one coat of clear on the door jambs on the last coat so there are no tape lines.
I see pearl in it and alot of orange peel, are you still gonna sand and polish
Yes I cut and buff everything so its as perfect as possible so I lay the clear to it lol
What primer did you use
I think it was Omni mp 282 high build primer
I have a tangent thought, if you stuck a car on a rotisserie and had it rotate at the center of mass and then just painted the whole thing in one go; would this work? I've never painted a car before... But I plan on doing it at some point in the future and wanted to know if the thought I had would work or would it just be overly complicated and unnecessary.
Yes you could, we usually paint the underside of the body on the rotisserie, it makes it eaiser, if you look back in my channel you'll see a video of me raptor lining the bottom of this 68, its easy to put the body shell on the rotisserie but its a pain to do the whole car on there, but it can be done. I Usually paint the car apart but its challenging to put back together with out scratching stuff unless you have a bunch of people helping you. With the way I did on this video is alot of taping, but you dont have to put it together lol, hope this helps, thanks for watching!!!!
What pearls are in the kolor?
There is a ton of pearl, its actually a factory mopar color, it came on the new challenger and ram trucks, called passion red pearl I think!!
did i hear you right 5 hours to sprayed your basecoat ? My technical data sheet states 15 to 20 min flash time between coats I would like to take longer I might do a better job
I take as long as I need lol that day I sprayed 2 coats of sealer 4 coats of base and 3 coats of clear, long day hahahaha thanks for watching!!
Flash times are minimum for basceoat. Take all the time ya need Just not days. .
What paint brand do you recommend ,my 68 Camaro sits in the garage most of the time ,its lemans blue ,what paint brand do you recommend for a 2 stage paint job ?
I really like ppg its pricey but there pretty good and there always gonna be around. I use dbc base coat and dcu 2002 high solids clear.
Ok thank you
DO Not follow if your spraying a silver or gold. Gun control is horrible. This is an easy color to - just get good coverage.Then clear.
Thanks for watching!
So step one to paining car at home is to have a paint mixer and professional paint booth and $800 gun?
It looks more fancy than it is lol. The booth is made out of plywood and 2x4s, the shacker is one someone was throwing away and my gun was like $300.00 . You dont need all that if your painting one car but I paint a couple a year.
@@ACDesignsGarage Well good job then. Paint looks great and I see less trash than some pro booth videos.
