Open Face Touch-Up Booths for Michigan HVAC and Equipment Lines
Michigan plants building HVAC units and equipment often need a spot at the end of assembly to fix scratches, cover fasteners and touch up damage before shipping. An open face booth is a practical way to do that near the line, keeping overspray contained without building a full enclosed booth.

A touch-up booth works best close to final inspection so units do not travel far after repair. Open fronts let units on carts or pallets roll into position without door handling. The booth location also has to avoid blocking forklift paths or shipping lanes.
Units on Pallets and Carts
HVAC cabinets and equipment units arrive on pallets, carts or roller conveyors. The booth floor and opening must suit how they arrive. A turntable or rotating cart helps painters reach all sides of a unit without walking in front of the spray.
- Unit size and weight on its pallet or cart
- Method of moving units into the booth
- Space for operators on all sides
Lighting for Quick Inspection
Touch-up is about seeing small defects. Bright, even lighting along the back and sides of the booth makes defects visible and lets operators match finish before units ship.
Room Air and Neighbor Processes
The open front draws plant air. Assembly areas nearby may have dust, and the booth's exhaust affects room pressure. Supplying replacement air and positioning the booth properly keeps the area balanced.
Planning a booth or oven project in Michigan
Crews mobilize from Houston; Michigan is roughly 1,100 miles away, so equipment, panels and tooling are staged and shipped ahead of the install crew.
Manufacturing in Michigan is concentrated around Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Flint. The sectors most likely to be specifying spray booths, blast rooms, powder systems and cure ovens there include automotive assembly and suppliers, office furniture, tool and die, and EV batteries.
Cold winters mean make-up air heaters are sized for sub-freezing intake, and booth or oven placement has to account for frost lines, snow loads on roof penetrations and winter slab work.
Frequently asked questions
Is open face enough for end-of-line touch-up?
For most touch-up work, yes. It gives a controlled spray area without doors and is easy to access.
Can units on pallets be painted in the booth?
Yes, if the opening and floor area suit the pallet size and handling method.
What lighting helps with touch-up?
Bright, even lighting on the back and side walls so small defects are visible.
Will the booth affect nearby assembly?
It pulls air from the area. Replacement air and good placement avoid problems.
Can you relocate the booth if the line changes?
Yes. Open face booths are relatively simple to move and reconnect.
