Automotive painting is an art that take the proper equipment, skills and environment to create a proper paint job. Painting can renew the look of a car or add a customized look to make it stand out. Using a paint booth is essential as it creates an ideal environment to get optimum paint adhesion.
Containment
A paint booth is critical in keeping the harmful chemicals and solvents from spreading from the painting environment. Painting in an open-air environment allows the chemicals to penetrate other rooms or the soil, which can harm bystanders, animals and the drinking water. Paint booths employ filters to catch the harmful chemicals, reducing the amount of pollution.
Overspray
Overspray is an essential consideration with any painting project as it is a permanent coating that can damage any nearby objects it lands on. A painting booth contains the paint to only what is inside it, allowing the overspray to attach to the interior walls, fall to the ground or collect within the filters. Free air painting can project paint long distances, especially in areas with strong air currents or wind. Paint booths allow automotive body shops to work on several cars in close proximity without the threat of overspray ruining a finished paint job or interfering with prepping a car for paint.
Environment
Using a paint booth makes it easier to create an ideal environment for the paint to properly coat and adhere to a surface. You can keep the enclosed environment heated to a constant temperature easily with the use of heat lights, which also illuminate the space and allow you to see how evenly you are coating the material. Properly venting a paint booth allows you to reduce the chemical-to-air mixture, reducing the chances of combustion, and keeps outside fire sources away from the chemicals.
Contaminants
Airborne contaminants are everywhere in the natural environment and can ruin a paint job. Automotive body shops contain many contaminants from sanding existing paint surfaces and body filler, which remain airborne for long periods. A painting booth keeps out all outside contaminants allowing you to apply contaminant-free paint layers continuously. Outside contaminants only enter a paint booth when opening the door to enter or bring in a car or individual parts. An active airflow system and filters eliminate these contaminants before you start painting
