I’ve been watching diy versions of spray booths and this is hands down the best one out there. So thorough and much appreciated!!!

Thanks appreciate it, hopping to get back on this soon to get it finished.. Have a good one!

Great video Kreg! Always good to see how someone else does it. I learned quite a bit. I do have a paint smock I wear that shake out before I paint it helps keep down the lint and dust. 😎👍

Thanks Mike, I have found what you are wearing makes a difference, we have a cat and she sheds at times and I will notice cat hair at the workbench, amazing how it travels

Kreg nice work. I have had the same thing happen with the stand falling apart

This is a fantastic idea. This will help so many of us to get better results with our projects. Thank you for this. It’s great!

My first time for the dehydrator, I put it at 135 degree. Minutes later it did not look like a car anymore😅 I was pissed. I bought an other one. However, I'm still scared to even put it at 122. It is only 13 degree difference.

Nice tutorial. This is something all of us need to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I cant count how many times I've dropped the model off the stand now I hold them together when I'm tilting 😅 Thanks for the video Kreg .

Excellent video. Thanks so much. Start and stop the video, looking at the distance of the airbrush and layering of the paint just great learning video.

A dehydrator is the second best modeling investment I've made, after an airbrush.

I love mine, its on most of the time I'm in the model room, like you its one of my best investments.. Have a good one JD..

Great tip.

That color looks great on the 63 to 65 Buick Riviera

Great tutorial! I just got back to Airbrushing and this helps significantly.. Can’t wait for the next video.

Great tip about the base that you use to hold the model while you paint. I sure didn't know it was 2-piece, and I'm looking to buy one of those! I'd have dropped a freshly painted model!

Great process bud. I love Mr. Hobby surfacers. Only problem I’ve found with them is I can’t 1 company that has all 4 colors at same time😃

Nice start on the GTO. I'll be watching

Dude the shirt thing amazing tip! That i havent seen mentioned ! Never even crossed my mind and i have pets ha silly me. Enjoying the video had to restart it because im cleaning. Good vid thanks!

Agreed, that was a great tip. Not all of us have key board hands working desk jobs and we get out in some dirty conditions.

New subscriber here just wanted to thank you for sharing your technique.

This is great information on painting. I would add, if you've got a mask wear it, religiously! If you smell the paint or reducer outside the booth, then you need the appropriate filtration. I worked with a talented model car builder in the Aerospace industry, in the company's "model shop". He messed up his lungs shooting paint on his own models at home, he now uses an inhaler every day. He's so sensitized to lacquers, solvents and cyanoacrylates that he cannot even be in the same room where they are used. Chemical sensitivity builds up, from many small exposures. After seeing his issues, I wear a filter every time I spray paint, even wear an N-95 for acrylics, (you never know what's in the pigments, carrier, etc.). Your hobby shouldn't hurt you...

Thanks, I completely agree with a mask! I use a painters mask with replicable filter cartridges, I use a vented booth, vents outside, and I installed a exterior wall vent for any time the spray booth is on I open the vent for a fresh air flow. Little story, back when I was 20, I was painting 1 to 1 cars and went over to my cousins to primer a 67 Mustang and forgot my mask thinking its just primer, I sprayed catalyst primer on this outside and woke up about two in the morning could not breath, 30 years later my lungs have cleared per doctors but now have about 65% lung capacity and take Advair everyday.. I have learned to deal with it and thank GOD I can still function.. So these days I roll with caution, I work in automotive, funny thing, now I cant smell hardly anything now, not sure if that is good or bad lol.. Thanks for the comment, have a good one!

First time have have heard anyone mention the clean shirt you are dead on I have been doing this for 31 years I take it one step further. Never long sleeve shirts. And yes you will notice less crud on paint/ clear coats

Thanks Kreg I'm hoping to improve my skills from this. Not sure about a suzy bake oven. I live in florida

Appreciate Sam, the oven works well for me mostly for the enamel paints, for sure the warmer clement would be a plus..

Cotton shirts shed. And some deodorants will cause fish eyes especially with open pits.

Kreg I can't wait to win this model!!!❤😊

Nice tutorial Kreg

Hey Kreg i have a question about your give away, acually its my wifes question but i dont know the answer neither so i told her id ask and find out....anyway she was wondering if your doing a giveaway for people that watches your videos why would you paint and assemble the model that your giving away for a prize instead of it being for them to enjoy building the kit they won....lol she said dont get mad for asking this she just thought it different that the prize of a model to build was not the person winning it getting to build it lol..... by the way this GTO is pretty awesome , i just bought it and checked it out and i cant wait to get to build mine..... nice work man

Do you use the dehydrator just to speed up the drying time, or does it help the cure/hardness of the paint/primer in a way that's different from just air drying over a longer period of time? What about a regular oven on a very low temperature? Just getting into this kind of modeling and not sure if I want to spend the extra $$$ on a dehydrator just yet, if I don't have to. Also, where did you get the stand for the body? Thanks in advance! Just subbed today as I found your painting practices highly useful!

Thanks appreciate it! Its not a necessity for a dehydrator, I like it to help speed up the dry time, especially primers, after the first paint on this with video 3 I did not even turn it on just left it in to cure and the next evening it was dry to the touch, I use mostly enamel paints so this works better for me to speed the process, there about 130 bucks from Amazon. I'm not sure if I would use a regular oven, never tried it, not sure if it would keep the low heat seating, I bake them at 113 or 122 deg. for about 15 to 20 hrs. The paint stand is a Tamiya, most hobby shops have them, I bought this one at Hobby Lobby I don't think it was 20 bucks?.. Thanks for the sub, I will try to answer any questions, enjoy helping in the hobby, Have a good one!
