Acquiring a paint booth can represent a higher investment than some workshops, especially those just starting out, believe they can afford. Or at least that's what common sense suggests. In practice, the calculation may be different; after all, the cost-benefit of this investment must be taken into consideration.
To demonstrate the advantages of acquiring an automotive paint booth and how it can help your workshop profit, we have prepared a series of benefits you can guarantee when you purchase one.
Environmental Control
Automotive paint booths have two primary functions. The first is to filter the air entering the booth, through an elaborate filtration system, to create a particle-free environment. The second is to filter the contaminated air leaving the booth, through an exhaust system and filters.
Furthermore, the booths, by performing this exhaust and filtering function, retain toxic substances resulting from the painting process. This allows the workshop to properly dispose of this excess, ensuring that it is not deposited in the environment. This function serves several purposes. environmental standards and regulations which must be followed, meaning the workshop will still be saving on fines and other expenses.
Quality of the finish
As we saw earlier, the automotive paint booth creates the ideal environment for the painting process, and because of this controlled environment, it becomes much easier to guarantee the quality of the work.
This is because, in addition to air quality, which is free of impurities, paint booths also help control other important components for painting, such as an ideal and constant temperature – which allows for proportional drying of the entire painted surface – as well as the absence of wind and other inclement weather, avoiding common problems that include bubbles, poor adhesion leading to peeling, loosening, dust particles, and much more.
Time is money
With ideal painting conditions – a controlled environment and clean air – fewer coats of paint and other rework that can interfere with quality and performance will be needed.
Without the need to constantly make these small repairs and adjustments, the workshop will have more time to dedicate to more cars and, consequently, more paint jobs, thus increasing its productivity.
This cost reduction will cause the acquisition of the paint booth, previously seen as an expense, to be understood as a necessary medium- to long-term investment, bringing a return for the workshop owner.
