What is a paint room?

• Whether you are painting a car or an airplane,
  you will need a paint room in order to
  professionally do the job and there is not one
  article out there about them so we thought it
  would be prudent to write one for our customers
  and prospects. There are two types out there,
  inflatable rooms and metal rooms. Why would
  anyone need to use a paint room? Well there is
  dust and dirt that moves all around the air and
  if that can stay suspended, it will not land or
  settle on your paint job. Also, there is a lot of
  pressure from the compressor, chemicals and heat
  involved (lighting, exhaust, enclosed pressurized
  room) so it is a very dangerous thing to put
  together if you do not know what you are doing.

• The big question is, do you buy a professionally
  pre-made paint booth or do you build it yourself?
  Lets say you want to do it yourself. Consider
  this, you do not want to install or build a paint
  room in your garage or home. There are many
  concerns you will have to deal with like
• Fire concerns (insurance)
• Industrial electricity outlet
• Chemical concerns (where to dispose)
• Neighbor concerns (the sounds and smells)
• County regulations (permits)
• Government regulations (license)

• And if that doesnt concern you, the real
  problems with building your own paint room is/are
  choosing which type of air flow you will use. Do
  you want a semi-down draft ducting where airflow
  goes through the roof air intake or a cross draft
  booth where the air intake is in the front of the
  booth, where the doors are, and ducted through
  the back. A cross draft booth is a cheaper
  alternative, but after you build the room, you
  are still going to need to add

• Exhaust ducting where does it go? Straight
  through the roof or out the end of the building?
• Airflow (in and out major volume 12,000 CFM)
  residential homes cannot produce that much power.
• Outside or inside paint booth will it be a
  separate building itself or inside your shop
• Compressed air
• Heat controller
• Electricity panel
• Exhaust fan
• Air intake fan
• Pressure equalizer
• Fire suppression system

• A paint room is a tough nut to crack. If you do
  it yourself, you will have a hard time getting
  everything put together to work properly without
  a fire hazard or worse killing yourself if you do
  not understand what all is involved. This article
  is about explaining what a paint room is and what
  it takes to get one built and will hopefully
  persuade you to either use ours or purchase a
  pre-built one yourself. Doing it yourself is
  absolutely 100 dangerous and is not recommended
  unless you know about everything we discussed
  above. If you are considering building one for
  business or personal use, please make sure you
  know what you are doing and consult with
  professionals.
