mechanical installation can be arranged and the price is bid on a

case-by-case basis, call us for a quote on installation. Note: We also offer
consulting packages to help with an install at a daily rate, call for details.

What if I need help?

Our auto spray paint paint booths are shipped with instructions. They can
also be accessed online and if you run into a problem, we will be there to
help. You can call our staff anytime. They also install these booths and
know how to answer your questions. Note: (this comes from experience)
when you are working with assembling a metal structure in almost any
shop, some field fitting is required due to many variables i.e. unlevel
floors, unexpected structural problems in your building, etc. Whatever
the problem, we likely have already overcome that situation somewhere.
Our staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Are your auto spray paint booths UL listed?

Generally speaking, auto spray paint booths (and other similar paint
enclosuresd) are shipped unassembled, and by definition can not be UL
listed. All electrical components of our booths are UL listed
individually.

UL Explained

Do you have ETL listed packages or booths?

Yes we do have ETL packages and a limited number of ETL listed paint
booths to choose from.

Does the price include everything I need to erect the booth?

Our A-Frame booths come with everything except lamps (Common T-8 32
(48”) lamps) that can be purchased at any lighting store, Home Depot,
Lowes, or Wal-Mart at a cost of $2 to $3 each. You may also need a few
concrete floor anchors to fasten the booth to the floor of your shop. Our
booths come with a standard motor control panel (most other companies
will charge extra for this.) The auto spray paint booths do not come with
exhaust duct components, as almost every installation requirement is
different. Give us a call and we can prepare a price quote with exhaust
duct to fit your needs.

What about shipping?

All auto spray paint booths are priced FOB from our plant in North Texas.
Where the booth is to be shipped and the size of booth you purchase
determine the shipping cost. Note also: we do not charge a crating fee as
do some of our competition. This can save you several hundred dollars.

booths will weigh about 3000 to 3500 lbs and are packed in wooden
crates 120”x42”x60” and will require planning to unload at your location.

Do you offer any financing?

Yes. We do have a leasing program to help you manage your investment.

only a few minutes to apply and in most cases you can get approval
within one business day.

the lease term.

doors, windows, or air flow), can I do that?

Yes, for sure! Our booths are very easy to change and without the huge
cost of a “Custom” made booth. Just give us a call and tell us what you
need.

I don’t see an A-Frame booth like I need. Do you have other sizes
and types of booths?

Yes. We offer a full line of auto spray paint booths, powder booths, air
make-up units, wood finishing booths, and cure ovens just to name a few,
and we can build anything, any size you need. Give us a call with the
