With our latest generation paint cabins, we can paint any quantity of parts (prototypes, small and medium runs).
We also have several traditional paint cabins in which the parts are painted manually through automatic paint supplies.
This saves time and provides consistency in terms of paint mix.
Traditional Spray Booths and Paint Durability
Whether you are looking for a new paint booth or upgrading an old one, you will need to know how to choose between traditional spray booths and paint durability. This article will give you a quick overview of the different types of paint booths and the paint they produce. These types of paint booths are usually made from 18-gauge pre-coated steel and feature air replacement systems and custom insulation to improve finish quality.
A spray paint booth is not cheap, and the initial investment can range anywhere from $5,500 to $7,200, excluding delivery fees and assembly. However, it’s worth mentioning that many vendors offer lease-to-own programs, which enable you to pay a fixed amount for the equipment. Lease-to-own models are a great option for those who want to paint on a regular basis. However, you should be aware of the size of the space and the number of items you plan to paint. A spray paint booth must have sufficient lighting for the operators to distinguish subtle color variations, as well as specific chemical compounds.
The safety of employees is also a factor in choosing the right type of paint booth. Various agencies regulate spray paint booths, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the National Fire Prevention Association, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Depending on the location, each of these agencies has different regulations regarding paint booths. Make sure to research and consult with your local authority to ensure that your shop meets the standards. If you’re unsure of what regulations apply to your business, you may want to consider renting a spray booth.
Named ways to avoid paint contamination
Before you begin painting, prepare your workspace for paint application. If possible, use disposable covers to prevent contact with paint-covered electronic parts. To prevent contamination, use alcohol-based wipes to clean these parts. Also, keep your clothes in separate containers. A hamper is a convenient option for separating clean and dirty items. The more you know about traditional paint booths, the better equipped you’ll be to use one.
When choosing the right spray booth for your business, make sure you consider how much work space you’ll need. You can choose a booth with a small footprint or an extra large one. If you’re planning on painting many items at once, consider renting a booth. There’s nothing worse than having to paint an item more than twice as often because you don’t have enough room. In order to avoid these problems, you should consider the location of your spray booth.
Downdraft airflow can be beneficial if you’re using waterborne paint. It’s more sensitive to contamination than solvent-based paint and requires clean air for curing. Airflow across the surface of the paint can be more efficient. Downdraft airflow can be problematic if the paint is not applied in a proper way. While this type of airflow has a lower cost, it can’t guarantee paint durability.
