Spray-Tech/Junair Paint Booths For Automotive Bodies And Parts
Automotive body and parts finishing puts the booth, prep area, mixing room, exhaust and replacement air into the middle of production flow. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services paint booth systems so vehicle shells, panels, bumpers and separate metal parts can move through prep, spray and cure areas with clear access for operators and maintenance.

Vehicle Access And Booth Layout
A Spray-Tech/Junair automotive booth layout has to match the largest vehicle or part cart expected in the space. Door swing, ramp position, pit or floor style, light placement and technician access all affect how bodies and loose parts enter, get coated and leave without disrupting adjacent work bays.
- Confirm the largest body, frame or fixture envelope before layout work begins.
- Identify where parts racks, masking tables and prep stalls sit in relation to booth entry.
- Keep filter, light and door service points reachable after nearby equipment is placed.
Prep, Spray And Cure Movement
Automotive finishing often relies on a steady rhythm between sanding, masking, cleaning, spray and flash or cure time. Relocation or installation work should preserve that rhythm by protecting clear aisles, staging room and safe routes for carts, stands and small components.
Exhaust, Replacement Air And Pressure
Booth performance depends on exhaust routing, make-up air delivery and building pressure. Duct paths, roof or wall penetrations, intake locations and heater connections need to be coordinated so the booth does not fight nearby doors, fans or process exhaust already operating in the plant.
Utility Connections And Service Readiness
Electrical feeds, gas piping, compressed air, controls, lighting and fire protection interfaces all need planned access. Before a site visit, it helps to gather booth drawings, utility locations, roof conditions, current airflow complaints, filter change access notes and any planned changes to production sequencing.
Frequently asked questions
What should be measured before installing an automotive paint booth?
Measure the largest vehicle or fixture, door openings, ceiling height, aisle width, roof structure, utility routes and the space needed to change filters, service lights and reach exhaust components.
Can a booth relocation include the exhaust ductwork and air unit?
Yes. Relocation planning should account for booth panels, exhaust ductwork, air make-up equipment, controls, utility disconnects, rigging path and the new building penetrations or supports.
How does parts finishing change the layout?
Parts finishing may need racks, carts, masking tables and staging space separate from whole-vehicle movement. The layout should let small parts flow through prep and spray without blocking body work.
What information is useful before a service visit?
Useful items include booth model information, photos of the booth and mechanical room, filter sizes, control issues, airflow concerns, utility locations and any symptoms that appear only during production.
