How Many Cars Can I Paint a Day in a Heated Paint Booth?

The amount of jobs per day a paint booth can complete depends on its heating power. If a paint booth is direct fire and has heat recycle, it should reach and maintain a high temperature of 150-175 degrees Fahrenheit in a few minutes. This should allow a painter to comfortably paint and cure a job every hour to hour and a half.

However, shop management and production flow are the top factors that affect how many jobs can be completed in a day. If a shop is a well-oiled machine that constantly has a job ready to enter the booth for finishing, then the paint booth’s hardware and power can be pushed to maximum performance. Most of the time, a paint booth is waiting for work due to slow or disorganized shop flow. Consult with your closest people and develop a smooth flowing line that will use your booth’s capability to the fullest.
