All of you are lucky having possibility to put the hose out of a window. I dont have and search a good solution with filters

What size is the booth overall? All my paint clouds come from priming too. I completely covered my craft room in overspray. People keep saying the Pace booth totally removes any paint particles that would cause overspray, but with a little over 100 cfm, that’s not as nearly as powerful as the fan you’re using.

do you have the stl file for your airbrush holder on your booth wall? it looks nice is it for an iwata? thanks

Good idea! I copied it and have a monster now too

Hey man, are the leds still holding up?

Hey I'm updating my booth with your idea. But I was wondering if the hose is way to long . Do you think I can cut it shorter to improve the flow or use what I cut off for the exhaust side ? .

I have seen that exact fan all over the place when looking for explosion proof" fans so that rattle can and liquor paint fumes would not be an issue. So I am glad to see someone use it in a DIY spray booth build.

But is the light in your booth explosion proof…….

holy shit 4 water separators? are you restoring ancient works of art or something? i still would have more respect for the person running 6 water separators than the idiot who doesnt use any though

You can see which converters and coupling to use here. avwairbrushworks.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/which-connectors-to-use/

Was hoping to get a look at and a description of the adapters you used. I'm thinking i'd need to run a typical airbrush hose down to an adapter to change the airbrush hose's 1/8" female to 1/4" disconnect male, then pop my 5/8" compressor hose with the 1/4" female quick connect to it. Would probably be weird to put a quick connect adapter directly on a little airbrush :P

3 years later but. Do you think this could work with the metal build versions of exia and dynames? Greetings.

Awesome video, chill vibe and useful. I'll be using a different fan, a blower from Grainger, but taking notes to copy basically the rest

thank you for this video i got a little car scale model and i have to paint it i know i have a air compressor but i was not sure i could use it as 100psi sounds like to much for that little brush i know that i can change the air to not be as pressurizes so thank you for this.

wait so did you have the Dru Blair spring in the Iwata Hiline Hp-Ch?

Love the vids, but have been any for awhile... hope you are well and that we see more vids soon!

That’s what I’m talking about. Are all the airbrushes 1/4 bsp

Thanks for confirming this, I have a 30 gal too and was wondering if I could just do this.

Nice job. I made my spray booth 15 years ago but at that time I was pretty green to air brushing. I used two blower units that used a squirrel cage and with external motors to eliminated that explosion thing. Personally, if you get to that point you've got some real problems in your painting technique. Anyway, I know I'm 2 years late but figured I give you a thumbs up in your effort. I've seen some pretty bad DIYers out there that are truly unsafe. If your still around it be cool if you had an update. Interested in your Fan system and how it's held up. Just got one the other day for another paint booth I'm doing. 🖖

Been using one for decades, put a water trap on it. Still use it to blow up tires and sandblasting. Only problem was the noise.

Thank you for the video, very informative! Not setting this up yet but will be soon.

Dude, this is exactly what I was looking for. This is fantastic. Why are you not making more TH-cam videos?

How many of these does it come in a set? I was looking at the AliExpress link you have and I can’t seem to figure it out. I am going to use it on the MG OO XN Raiser and there’s 2 GN drives on the shoulders and the chest/head. Does that mean I have to order 2 sets? Thanks for the video by the way.

So I assume you don't smell anything while painting ? I am looking to build or buy a high end booth cause I have to spray in my home so I need something that pulls everything out. It's just me here so no others to worry about but I still want to be safe and healthy with it.

Have you ever checked air speed in the booth/worry about deflecting the paint cone especially at low PSI? Or worry about paint drying too fast in the booth? Without the filter you've got be flowing over 300fpm, not sure how much the filter dampens that... But I've read elsewhere the ideal air flow speed is more like 100 cfm

Technically, the concentration of vapors from paint NEVER reaches, or even comes close to the concentration needed for combustion (the flash point). This business of saying that you need an explosion proof fan with solvent paints is simply urban legend and not based on science. That said, that's quite an exhaust fan! Note however that anyone who is familiar with chemical fume hoods and laboratory safety will also tell you that higher face velocities (the speed of air moving into the hood) are not conducive to higher safety. In fact, high face velocities can lead to decreased safety, due to the creation of powerful eddies that you create standing in front of the booth, which suck the overspray back at you.

I have a problem with over researching every item before choosing the right one to buy my self hahah some times many days of searching /watching /reading

Hi there amazing video How is the 12 inch duct attached to the back of the spray booth? Thanks!

Congatulations on a great kit. I have this one in my back log and have not built it yet . Is it possible to make the metal darker with what looks like oil stains? Any advice for a first time airbrusher?

My small compressor went kaput tonight. Dude, I have my garage organized just like yours and a Vader shirt. Wanna be friends? lol I appreciate the video, great info.

So you still had moisture in the line after three filters and had to put in that Mr Hobby inline trap, or is that just a must have in general? Even with a standard airbrush compressor. I'm looking into airbrushing so have zero experience lol

Thanks for making this video!! I just got mine done and it works perfectly! I got my fan directly from vevor for $122 and the hose for $34. I made a vacuum chamber on the back of my booth and it pulls nicely.

Thanks for posting this, you provided the solutions I was looking for.

I'm getting 2 of those from harbor freight and make a dual fan. I paint a lot and need the extra flow and i thought It would be worth it to have 2 instead buying the big Paasche which run for $1300 plus ship. this set up would be about $300. let see. Thanks for this video.

I just found your video, because i am using an air assist, and its pretty same to this flow rate you use here. 20-25psi = 1.4-1,7 bar. But my compressor has 50l tank, 10bar max, kicks in at 6bar. That like every 5 minutes, and aside its annoying, i also worry about the compressor itself.

Yep, i use a large shop compressor for airbrushing scale models too, just gotta dial down the pressure and add a really nice inline filter.

I got a pancake air compressor I'm gonna try to use.

hello, i want to start airbrushing. But my concern are the fumes. So i want to build a spray booth. Are the water based acrylics like mr hobby color paints dangerous for explosion too? And if they aren are they good for painting 1:18 scale modelcars? Or why are you using alcohol based paints? Are they better or turn out nicer? Thank you!

If you have a regulater somewere between the compresser and airbrush to keep at say 20 lb., but keep the compesser at say 60 lb. Or more, you could prob run the brush for a lot, lot longer befor it has to run. I had an uncle who used a large compresser in his garadge to run air bubblers in auqariums in the house. I thought it would end up killing the fish with oil in the air, but they had those fish for years

Hey are u using sticker 45 (the one on the clear piece on the chest) on these? Im just building this kit and thinking of buying these leds but i feel like that sticker would block the light

Can you add a variable soeed controller on this fan?

Just remember Nick! Every ball joint can be a [REDACTED]. For safety purposes, I'm not able to use that word on a hobby channel. But I meant swivel. Every ball joint can be a swivel.

I run a 60 gallon 2 stage 150 psi compressor for all my air tools and it's plumbed into house to the model room good air regulators and filters are a must gives me clean dry air for airbrushing 15 to 30 psi and nice and quiet since the compressor is in its own room.

Great video, I’ll be doing this set up tonight. Got tired of mini compressor running non-stop.

GN rifle looks fantastic! Alclad is really impressive to give that worn metal look like a real rifle would have.

Not sure why you don't have more likes/views. I can definitely side with you on building somethings that's more than overkill for this. I've been wanting to get into lacquers, worried about family, etc. You're a hero for putting in the time, research for all the materials/instructions necessary for this awesome project. Definitely going to be building this when I've got the dedicated space for it. This is amazing.

hey 1 question do i have to regulate the pressure on the compressor ? because airbrush is 1-3 bars? and compressor gives out like 5 to 6

From what I can tell this isn’t NEMA Class 1 Div 1 explosion proof so be careful. Id also bet that since it probably has some type of explosion proof certification, they don’t add the plug because it would be “recommended” that you also use an explosion proof rated plug. I work with EXP electrical equipment and if something with power is going into a required class 1 Div 1 area, everything has to have that rating. The conduit, the box, the plugs, etc. I’d assume they just ship the fan without the plug for liability purposes.

Use the blue pre filter stuff in front of you're ac filter to prolong it and keep it from getting clogged. I use lacquer and it clogs those ac filters super quick wihtout the pre filter.
