Outdoor Booth Replacement at Touch of Class
Touch of Class, located in Hudson, Florida, specializes in muscle and classic car restoration and collision work for their local community. They recently underwent a shop expansion to hopefully increase their jobs per day capabilities. Their owner, Joseph Catalano, who has been in the auto body business for over 40 years, knew when it came time to replace their worn outdoor booth to keep up with new customer demand, he had to call Accudraft.
After evaluating Touch of Class’s needs, our team recommended a new outdoor booth to replace their existing setup. They went with an Accudraft Italia, our flagship downdraft paint booth system designed for high production. When asked how their new Italia helped with their painting process, Catalano said, “All of the extra lighting really helps on transparent colors. You can see clearly when it’s not covered.”
What is an Outdoor Paint Booth?
An outdoor paint booth is specifically designed to withstand climate types. For example, snowstorms and Nor’easters in the Northeast and tropical storms and hurricanes in the South. These extreme weather conditions can increase the likelihood of damage or wear and tear on a paint booth, which is why outdoor ones need to be extremely durable.
With that being said, it leaves the thought: why would anyone want their paint booth outside?
The #1 Reason to Install an Outdoor Paint Booth
The number one reason to install an outdoor paint booth is because it’s the best option when a shop doesn’t have the building space for an additional booth. Outdoor booths can either be attached or detached to a building, making them available to install anywhere on the shop’s property. Depending on the size of the property, our outdoor booths can be designed with a side, rear, or overhead enclosure for mechanical parts.
Is an Outdoor Paint Booth Different Than an Indoor Booth?
Besides the fact than an outdoor paint booth is outside, there is nothing different between an outdoor and indoor booth. Accudraft outdoor booths come in all different types of configurations, including drive up platform, raised pit, and downdraft styles. Like all our other booths, they offer interchangeable and customizable configurations to fit the needs of any shop.
