EPTEX Coatings Automotive Body and Parts Finishing Systems
Automotive body and parts finishing can include vehicle shells, panels, brackets, frames and separate metal components moving through prep, coating and cure areas. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services powder coating booths, ovens, exhaust, make-up air and utility connections used with EPTEX Coatings equipment.

Vehicle Parts And Component Mix
Automotive finishing areas often handle both larger body sections and loose components. The equipment arrangement should account for the largest part, the most common rack, and any carts or lifts used to position work.
Prep Stations To Finish Area
Sanding, cleaning, masking and coating should be sequenced so contamination stays away from finished work. Clear routes between prep, booth, oven and staging help protect panels and reduce unnecessary handling.
Air Movement And Operator Reach
Body panels and irregular parts need consistent exhaust capture and room for painters or powder operators to move around the work. Make-up air, booth openings, lighting and access lanes should be checked together.
Relocation And Repair Coordination
When existing equipment is moved or serviced, the work should be planned around production access, utility shutdowns, duct removal, equipment condition and the clearances available at the new location.
Frequently asked questions
What automotive part details are useful for planning?
Part size, rack style, coating method, prep steps, cure needs, cart paths and staging requirements are useful to review.
How does airflow affect body and panel finishing?
Airflow influences capture, comfort and finish consistency, especially around wide panels, recessed areas and operators moving along the workpiece.
Can booth equipment be connected to an existing exhaust route?
An existing route can be reviewed, but duct condition, sizing, support, termination, replacement air and controls need to be checked.
What makes relocation work different from service work?
Relocation adds disassembly, rigging, transport path, new utility connection and reassembly planning, while service work may focus on components that remain in place.
