Aerospace & Aviation Paint Booths for Superior Finishing

The aviation and aerospace industries demand precision-engineered finishing systems to achieve flawless coatings, durability, and compliance with strict safety regulations. From commercial aircraft and business jets to helicopters and military applications, a high-quality paint booth is essential to ensure long-lasting, corrosion-resistant finishes.

At Platinum Finishing Systems (PFS), we specialize in custom aerospace and aviation paint booths designed to meet NFPA, OSHA, and industry-specific coating standards. Whether for large aircraft, small components, or specialty coatings, our high-performance finishing environments are built for efficiency, compliance, and quality results.


Why Are Specialized Aerospace Paint Booths Necessary?

Aviation coatings require controlled application conditions, including:

  • Precise temperature and humidity control to prevent defects.
  • Advanced ventilation to handle hazardous aerospace coatings.
  • Filtration systems to comply with NESHAP and MACT emissions standards.

Unlike standard paint booths, aerospace booths must accommodate complex aircraft shapes, large-scale components, and strict industry regulations.


Types of Aerospace & Aviation Paint Booths

Different aircraft and aerospace applications require specialized paint booth configurations. PFS offers custom-built solutions for optimal performance and compliance.

1. Crossflow Aerospace Booths

  • Air enters from one side and exits on the opposite side.
  • Efficient ventilation for aircraft components and smaller applications.
  • Cost-effective option with reliable overspray control.

2. Side Downdraft Aerospace Booths

  • Air moves downward from the ceiling and exits through side exhaust filters.
  • Better airflow uniformity, reducing airborne contamination.
  • Ideal for larger aircraft and precision refinishing.

3. Downdraft Aerospace Booths

  • Airflow moves vertically from the ceiling to the floor exhaust system.
  • Maximum overspray control, reducing coating defects.
  • Recommended for high-end aerospace finishes and large aircraft painting.

4. Semi-Downdraft Aerospace Booths

  • Combination of downdraft and side airflow for a balanced environment.
  • Efficient airflow management for various coating applications.
  • Versatile option for different aircraft components and structures.

5. Vertical Downdraft Aerospace Booths

  • Designed for smaller aircraft components and panels.
  • Targeted airflow for precision finishing.
  • Compact design for workshops needing high-performance results.

Each booth type offers unique benefits, depending on the size, material, and finishing requirements of the aircraft.

What Makes an Aerospace Paint Booth Different?

Unlike automotive or industrial booths, aerospace finishing environments require specialized design considerations:

1. Air Temperature and Humidity Control

  • Aerospace coatings must be applied at precise conditions to prevent defects.
  • Heating, cooling, and dehumidification systems are required for consistent application.

2. Advanced Filtration for Hazardous Coatings

  • Aircraft coatings often contain hexavalent chromium and cadmium, requiring high-efficiency filtration.
  • Compliant with NESHAP emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants.
