How big should my paint booth be?
In the world of body shops, the choice of a paint booth isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about finding the perfect fit. Different sectors within the refinishing industry—automotive, industrial, aerospace, and marine—all demand paint booths tailored to their specific needs. While companies like PFS offer standard models that meet many requirements, custom sizes are often necessary to accommodate the unique vehicles or products destined for painting. Additionally, some facilities might require a paint booth despite not initially planning to use it for painting. So, what’s the size of a paint booth? Let’s explore the distinction between standard and custom sizes across various industries
Standard Paint Booth sizes
When it comes to paint booth sizes, PFS meticulously tailors each model to suit the specific requirements of its designated industry. Take, for instance, our renowned platinum edition paint booth at 14’Wx9’Hx27’L. After many requests, we have also created an extended size at 12’H, allowing for larger trucks, SUVs, and sprinter vans to be coated easily and efficiently.
For truck booths, we typically offer a standard size of 16’Wx30’L offering a larger space for coating large trucks, vans, and more!
Custom Paint booth sizes
While standard-sized paint booths are suitable for many shops, custom booths are often necessary. These tailored solutions are ideal for buildings or vehicle mixes with unique dimensions. With a team of experienced engineers and installers, PFS boasts decades of expertise in designing and installing intricate finishing systems.

Metro Train Paint booth
This modified downdraft paint booth was installed for Metro in Los Angeles, and was made to accommodate railcars with room for a custom crane system, train car wheels, and a custom lighting system to adequately disburse light on the rail car and minimize shadows. This booth was also made in special width, height, and length to accomodate!
Open Face Booth- Undisclosed Client
Our client reached out for a paint booth that could be easily moved around without full disassembly of the unit. We created this open face paint booth that is reinforced at several vital points throughout the booth to allow it to be shipped fully assembled and easily moved from place to place! This unit allowed for ease of use with an extra wide area to allow for doors, panels, and more to be coated inside the room!

This client did not have any more room inside the building, and wanted a solution for an outdoor spray booth. We created this outdoor paint booth to ensure they could paint large equipment including tractor trailers, big rigs, and other large vehicles.
