Has anyone ever detailed a vehicle in a paint booth? Just wondering, seems like some would be perfect for the task, since you get a downdraft to keep the air clean. I am not sure I would wash one in the booth, but polishing and coatings would be nice. Also if it has a heat system, you could turn it on to cure the coatings out faster.

Thoughts?

I wondered that myself.......seems a paint booth would be the ultimate place for applying coatings.......working clean.
 
Actually have plans to section off a part of my shop and making a pseudo paintbooth/clean detailing area (A/C and heat, humidity control, lights on the walls and 4 post lift). I call it a pseudo paintbooth because it won't have the downdraft ventilation or the heat lamps on the wall. I will still depend on my trusty mobile IR lamps.
 
I bet a painter would kick you firmly in the groin, if he caught you getting compound dust all over his paint booth

I agree, the chance of contamination would be very high to get fish eyes, wrinkling etc.

I think it'd be kind of cool. To have that sort of a sterile environment to do your work in!
 
Fellas, I am leaning more toward what Dr.Pain is talking about. Im not talking about using someone elses, Im talking about having my own for th purpose of doing exactly what Dr. Pain stated. Basically a clean room with temperature control and lights, and possible curing ability.

There are a whole bunch of inflatable/portable spray booths available...with umpteen zillion configurations and accessories for personalization requirements.

Here's one example:

I think it's a brilliant idea HUMP, nice and sterile booth for sure:)
 
Hey Hump..... FEAST your eyes on this!!!! This is my inspiration, although I will never go that far in the construction. It has T5's, single diode LEDs AND heaters to bake coatings (or cupcakes if you want LOL!). It has small fan to ventilate and some AC vent (from the look of it)

Clarity has an amazing clean room. One day I'll have a shop like his.

Not sure. It was shared by one of our Finest installer who is in the process of remolding. He is planning on doing a booth similar. The booth I am planning will be more along the line of those guys at Clarity Houston (although my lighting scheme will be different)
 
I keep seeing Clarity mentioned, do they have a booth, or is it just that their shop looks like this?

It's a room they built in the shop, it's built very nice and professionally. I follow them on Instagram, they do great work. It's @clarityhouston
 
Wow! Can you imagine working in that space?! I might don some little booties and a NASA type suit in it! That's beautiful. Thanks Doc...i'm drooling.
