CARC and other military coatings carry their own application and industrial-hygiene requirements; we size filtration and airflow to the coating system your program specifies. PFS booths ship with ETL-listed electrical packages, and we provide the drawings and data your permit packet needs. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so confirm with your authority having jurisdiction. See our NFPA 33 guide.

We provide drawings, product data and specifications for bid packages and submittals, and we can quote to a written specification.

GOVERNMENT & MILITARY GUIDE

Paint Booths for Government and Defense Facilities

Booth types, coatings and procurement.

Depots, maintenance units, municipal fleets and defense contractors use PFS booths for tactical vehicles, trailers, shelters, generators, weapon-system components and parts.

Military finishing often uses chemical agent resistant coatings (CARC) and other two-component systems. These need proper ventilation, filtration and respiratory protection under OSHA 1910.134. We size airflow and filtration for the coatings in your spec.

Drive-through full downdraft booths are the most common for vehicles. semi-downdraft and cross-flow booths suit trailers, shelters and large assemblies. open-face booths handle smaller components.

PFS is a SAM.gov registered vendor. We can provide drawings, specifications and code documentation for your procurement package.

Every PFS booth is built with ETL/UL listed components and engineered to NFPA 33, the NEC (Article 516) and OSHA 1910.107. Your local fire marshal and air district have the final say, so we supply drawings, airflow data and cut sheets for permitting. See our NFPA 33 compliance guide for the details.

To quote quickly, send us: the largest vehicle or asset (L × W × H); the door opening you need; your building footprint, ceiling height and power; the coatings you spray; and how many units per day or week you finish. Photos of the space help.

Tell us your vehicle dimensions. We'll spec the booth.
