Is an Inflatable Paint Booth Worth the Money?

There have been a TON of different inflatable paint booths popping up on the internet recently. We decided to buy one and test it ourselves to see if it was actually worth spending upwards of $2000.

Automotive Paint Frequently Asked Question
How long after painting a car can you drive it?
A few weeks after painting your car. No one likes seeing an orange peel texture, cracking or peeling, but exposing your vehicle to the environment right after a fresh paint job can do just that.
Some auto enthusiasts recommend keeping your freshly painted car in the garage for at least a month, but at the same time, you need to be realistic. You need to get places, so you'll have to take your car out on occasion.
How do I properly spray paint my car?
DIY auto painting projects are a multistep process. You'll start by stripping or sanding the old paint off. Then, you'll apply primer, the base coat and the clear coat. You also need to think about rust patches - you can't just paint over them - and cleaning off debris and moisture to avoid texture and adhesion issues. In between, because you'll be handling solvents and using a paint gun, you need to adequately protect yourself against the chemicals in the air.
To start, carve out a block of time to paint your car. Then, be sure to have the following:
Protective gear, including safety glasses and a fresh air respirator system or a mask with a multi-stage filter. We also recommend a paint suit to protect your clothing.
Sanding supplies, including 1200- and 2000-grit wet-and-dry sandpaper and an electric sander - unless you plan to do the job by hand.
Masking tape
Air compressor or paint gun
Paint thinner
Mixing equipment
Auto paint
As a rule, if you're planning to repaint a small- to medium-sized vehicle, have one gallon of base coat available and one gallon of primer plus two to three gallons of clear coat. For a larger vehicle, have 1.5 gallons of base coat ready and three to four gallons of clear coat. Before starting, be sure to match the paint to your car's color by looking for the color code or VIN number.

What is a good paint gun for beginners?
Paint guns come in a few styles, but the most popular is a high volume low pressure (HVLP) gun, which is designed to use less pressure while delivering more paint. These allow you to complete the job in less time.
Another popular option is a turbine paint system, which is a self-contained option that utilizes a turbine motor to compress the air.
Along with these attributes, think about the needle nozzle. Be sure to have at least a 1.2-1.4 for the base coat/clear coat and 1.7-2.0 for the primer.

That will cost 10 grand the way you want it
After each usage of the booth I always use my 1700 psi karcher pressure washer after removing the filters! Then I use my worx 40v nitro blower to remove the excess water and dry! You can also make a skeleton frame with electric conduit to negate the possible issue with deflation! Just like the framework on a auto canopy!That's what I did! I was a reconditioning shop owner for 40 yrs! Retired now! If it's permanent build one out of drywall and metal studing I did was awesome as good as an expensive real one! Forgot you can then hang led lighting from the conduit! If you want more lighting you can remove sections of the top and replace with clear plastic sheathing using a high quality adhesive similar to replacing the rear window on an mg or triumph only no stitching!
Thanks for doing this review. How about a link to the exhaust add-on?

If you look up the supplier on amazon it should like right to it.
When I need an inflatable paint booth. I just call the party rental place. Rent a Barney bouncy house and let the painting begin as soon as the guy drops it off. The best part is the way I can bounce around the car while I am spraying the paint job out. 🤔🤣

Sounds like a pretty full proof plan.
BRILLIANT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION I HAD A GROLLIA PRO OF EBAY 13FT X 8FT COUPLE OF PROBLEMS ONLY CAME WITH ONE BLOWER UNIT AND THAT WAS TO BLOW IT UP THERE WAS OVER SPRAY ALL OVER SOMEBODY RECOMMENDED A EXTRACTOR FAN BUT APART FROM THAT IT WAS OK SO REALY 2 BLOWER UNITS EXTRACTOR FAN AND ELEPHANT TRUNK 🐘
Ive seen people cut the wall out for the mixing room. Make it 1 large booth
I wouldn't expect anything less than some trash in the paint in one of these, hell, you can still get trash in a $100,000.00 paint booth. But you can lessen the trash by making sure the booth and the car are as clean as you can possibly get them. These are definitely a cool concept and probably great for the occasional side job.

Exactly - if you paint a couple cars a year or less this will give you the space to get the job done.
We had the main fan trip the breaker after the final clear coat and the booth deflated, ruining the paint job 😢.

Some have ties where you can tie it up to your ceiling incase of fan failure

one of the reasons I would never buy this.
was thinking of getting one but $2k is too much I just need a clean area either some drop plastic suspended or a large paint tent or diy myself something out of cardboard, just something to have a semi clean area to separate the sanding work area from the finish area outside has a problem with wind and bugs and stuff blowing around

You can get smaller ones for less. A 15’x15’ is like $5-600
I built my own temporary painting booth with pvc pipes and wrapped in plastic with filters and exhaust systems

Yes, you'll just want to make sure the weather is going to cooperate with your painting plans.
i always wanted a fan that would hold up to an explosion oh wait 🤣🤣
Does it let paint smell outside the booth? Is it noticeable when used indoors?
@eastwoodco

It does contain the smell within the booth, it greatly reduced the aroma in our studio/shop. Yes you can still smell the paint by the exhaust port outside.

@@eastwoodco thank you for getting back to me! I am considering getting one but didn’t want to bother my workshop neighbors !
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I was considering it, but the fact that the dirt's in there is mute. Sending the money $2,000 that's just wrong.
There are inflatable booths that stay inflated once they're inflated. So, the fan can go out with no worries.
My thoughts exactly about the paint mixing area being wasted space, and most manufacturers put them on even very small booths making it to where you have to buy a gigantic booth to be able to fit a car in the booth. Also with an inflatable booth you need to build a wooden frame inside so in case you have a deflation event it doesnt collapse into your cars new paint. I didnt have a garage to protect my car and thats a big reason why I am having to repaint my car, so I built a garage this past summer to protect my car when im finished painting it. What I ended up going with was a canvas frame style booth by a company called OTOBO, I bought the big version and the small version. I bought the small version to do take off parts in because the large one is VERY hard for one person to put up and take down and none of these temporary paint booths are meant to stay up for very long, the sun, the weather, wind etc will destroy them all. I would have liked to have went with the inflatable type but the cost for a size that would fit my car and allow me room to get around the car and paint it was too great. In the future I plan on installing a slab in my garage I built and turning that into my paint booth with modifications.
id just change filters after every single full car paint job
Why does the blower need to be on. Can't you inflate and plug it like a pool toy???
@eastwoodco

No, it's more like a bounce house then a pool toy. So the fan has to stay running.
I think I’d rather built a PVC/thick plastic sheeting paint booth.
Bounce house 🤣😂
Not enough ventilation, no good
So, it’s not that good!

Like we said in the video... 7/10
Check with the government to see if you're allowed. 🤣
The electric motor failure when doing a project its NOT worth the risk there guy.... If your a person who has to buy an inflatable booth and can't afford or have access to a booth doesnt have money falling out of their asshole. Paint and materials are expensive and if your a guy like me who has a limited budget and has a regular job then any risk is not worth it. So Im gonna say a big NO to the inflatable paint booth.

And thats why u should use pvc or conduit to build a skeletal support inside of the booth. Very cheap and easy to build. Also u can add led lighting to it. So for the cost its definitely a good buy if ur someone who actually pays to rent a booth often imo.
