Why industrial painters used industrial paint booths

Painting, one of the most basic and popular activities among car owners, is also one of the simplest means to enhance the appearance and resale value. However, the difficulty of painting depends on several factors that influence the result, especially when it comes to cars. In this case, one cannot use spray paint cans like they would with their walls and ceilings. Industrial painters choose to work using industrial paint booths because they:

Makes painting Faster

An industrial paint booth is designed for painting large batches of products. The inside of your product gets painted all at once with zero drying time between coats. That saves you valuable hours that would otherwise be spent waiting for each coat to dry before applying another one. These saved hours add up quickly when you’re producing thousands of parts every day.

Less Drying Time

 A professional paint job requires three coats (base/clear/base). Each coat takes about eight hours to fully dry, and this doesn’t include the amount of time it takes in-between coats. The paint booth gets rid of this delay for you because the paint is applied all at once. In other words, by using a paint booth, you eliminate one aspect of your painting process, so your employees do not have to wait for an extended period for products to dry.

Saves Money and Protects the Environment

 Although painting booths are more expensive to run than an open-air spray booth, they save money in the long term. If you invest in a large paint booth with multiple nozzles, your employees can coat all of your products at once without needing to take them apart for each layer. That makes it easier and less time-consuming to produce larger batches of products that ultimately save you money, because you won’t have to order or make as many individual parts.

You’ll also save on electricity costs because your paint booth will only be running when your employees need it, and it uses much less energy than open-air spraying equipment or hand painting every part. A paint booth is basically like having an additional employee at your company, because it saves you so much time and money.

Further, most automotive businesses use a large paint booth to paint cars, vans, trucks, and boats at once. That saves them money because they only need one paint booth, but it also saves them time because their employees can quickly coat all of their parts at once.

Saves Parts

When your employees wait eight hours for each coat, they’re forced to take apart the pieces that have already been painted just to be repainted. This process can damage your parts and cause them to lose their shape or fit. Further, it is difficult for an employee to paint every part using their hands without mistakes or oversights every single time. A paint booth eliminates this problem because it paints all of your products at once, so there’s no downtime between layers.

Paint booths are critical for any manufacturing business that requires painting products or vehicles. If you’re not using one already, invest in an industrial paint booth to save yourself time, money, and hassle.
