Truck Paint Booths for Georgia Fleets and Equipment Shops
Truck booths are built around a vehicle that is longer, taller and heavier than a car, and that changes almost every part of the install: door size, cabin height, floor, airflow and heat. Georgia fleets, upfitters, municipal garages and equipment shops use them for refinishing trucks, bodies and attachments. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services truck paint booths across the state.
Discuss your installationSizing Around the Vehicle
Start with the largest truck you will paint, measured with everything attached: mirrors, ladder racks, light bars, booms or plows. Add room to walk and spray around it. Then check door size, cabin height and whether the truck drives in and backs out or drives through.
- Overall length, width and height with all equipment mounted
- Walking clearance on every side
- Drive-through or single-door entry
- Space outside the booth for staging and turning
Fleets Around Atlanta and Savannah
Municipal and commercial fleets in metro Atlanta and around Savannah all carry trucks that need body repair and repainting over their working life. New industrial plants such as the Virginia Transformer facility in Rincon bring more service trucks and equipment into the Savannah area, and fleet shops there plan booth capacity around the largest unit they maintain.
Airflow and Heat for a Big Cabin
Truck booths move far more air than car booths, which means a larger make-up air unit, bigger ducts and more gas. Downdraft, side downdraft and semi downdraft designs are common; the choice depends on finish expectations and whether the floor can be cut. In Georgia's summers, controlling humidity and heat in a large cabin also affects painter comfort and coating behavior.
Questions to Settle Early
Gas supply often turns out to be the long-lead item on truck booth projects. A large make-up air burner may need more gas than the building's service can provide. Electrical service for larger fans is the other common constraint. We check both early so the booth is not waiting on a utility upgrade.
Planning a booth or oven project in Georgia
Crews mobilize from Houston; Georgia is roughly 700 miles away, so equipment, panels and tooling are staged and shipped ahead of the install crew.
Manufacturing in Georgia is concentrated around Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, and Columbus. The sectors most likely to be specifying spray booths, blast rooms, powder systems and cure ovens there include automotive assembly and EV, aerospace, transportation equipment, and heavy machinery.
Hot, humid summers and mild winters put the emphasis on make-up air cooling or tempering, filter change schedules and keeping intake away from loading doors.
Frequently asked questions
How big does a truck paint booth need to be?
Big enough for your largest vehicle with all equipment attached plus room to walk and spray on every side.
Is drive-through better than single-door entry?
Drive-through avoids backing trucks out and helps flow, but needs space and doors at both ends. Single-door entry saves floor space.
What type of truck booth gives the best finish?
Full downdraft generally gives the best finish. Side downdraft and semi downdraft avoid floor work with good results.
Why is gas supply such an issue?
Large booths need large make-up air burners. Existing gas service may not have the capacity, and upgrades take time.
Do you service truck booths for municipal fleets?
Yes. We install and service booths for public and private fleet garages.
