 Paint Booth Technology
Refinishing is the aspect of repair perhaps most examined
by the customer. The overall quality of the finish is
dependent on the quality of the materials, the skill of
the technician and the performance of the paint booth.
Paint booths are not created equal.
The
paint environment is what paint companies refer to when
they talk about paint booths. The paint they formulate
needs a very controlled environment to perform as engineered.
The quality of the air is critical. Clean air with very
few, if any, particles is a must. The humidity and temperature
are important, as is airflow. Lighting is essential
if the technician is to see the surface and colors well
enough to do excellent work. Lastly, there may be state
and local regulations to be met, such as fire suppression
systems or containment devices.
The
temperature in the booth needs to be held constant so
the solvents evaporate at a predictable rate. Once the
paint is in place, more airflow and a higher temperature
are desired to speed evaporation and carry the solvent,
which is in the air, away from the surface. At high
evaporation rates, solvents can fall back on the paint
surface if not swiftly carried away. This could cause
the surface to lose gloss.
We
at Millennium Mobility ensure that all these quality
parameters are met and you get the perfect shade and
gloss to make your car as good as new! |
