RTT Finishing Solutions Automotive Refinish Booths
RTT Finishing Solutions automotive refinish booths support collision, fleet, training, and supplier finishing work where clean airflow and predictable vehicle handling matter. Installation work centers on fitting the booth into the shop, routing exhaust and make-up air, connecting heat and controls, and preserving the flow from prep through paint and out to reassembly.

Fit Within the Refinish Workflow
The booth should support how vehicles move from prep to masking, paint, flash, cure, and exit. Door swings, approach lanes, detail space, parts carts, and nearby prep areas should be reviewed before the booth location is set.
Air Balance for Finish Quality
Refinish work is sensitive to dirt, pressure changes, and airflow disruption. Make-up air, exhaust ducting, filter condition, and building air movement all need to work together so spray conditions stay consistent.
Heat, Lighting, and Controls
Many refinish booths include heated air, lighting, timers, and control interfaces. Utility planning should identify electrical service, gas routing where applicable, control panel location, and access to components that require routine attention.
Relocation and Reconnection Details
When moving a booth, panels, doors, lights, fans, duct sections, controls, and heat components should be documented before disassembly. The new location then has to be checked for clearances, penetrations, utility capacity, and shop traffic.
Frequently asked questions
What affects the best location for a refinish booth?
Vehicle flow, nearby prep work, ceiling height, duct routing, make-up air, utilities, and the space needed around doors and service panels all affect placement.
Can a refinish booth be installed in an existing collision shop?
Yes, if the building can accommodate the booth footprint, air handling, exhaust route, utilities, and required access around the equipment.
Why review prep areas with the booth layout?
Prep activity controls what reaches the booth. Poor staging can bring dust, traffic, and handling delays into the finish area.
What should be checked after reconnection?
Fan rotation, airflow direction, light operation, door seals, filter fit, burner or heat operation where present, control response, and utility connections should all be checked.
What should the facility provide before planning starts?
Existing booth drawings if available, building dimensions, utility information, roof or wall details, and photos of vehicle routes and surrounding work areas are helpful.
