Wow, I never understood guys doing body work / sanding in the paint booth. Many years ago when I did this work we did only one thing in the booth - paint. That keeps the booth as clean as possible.
Well, that's cool Mark. Must be pretty high end coz I've never seen guys use paint booths for prep - very cool.
Well now you have made me doubt my answer - those may be old paint booths - I think they now have the more environmentally friendly ones, so those may be old paint booths. I have emailed them to ask, so I will let you know what they say.
It's a technical term for "old paint booth that has a more distinguished name in case one of our clients asks"
exactly! I think they were forced to put in the more environmentally frienly booths so yes, that looks like an old one.
I just love this picture. You can positively see the Ferrari DNA coursing through these fabulous models and connecting them together. And although the F12 is way in the back -- good God does it look sexy! Just great stuff.
Mark, i have the same problem with my wife, the only diference is that i buy scale models!!!! Same problem, diferent scales!!
Many shops use old paint booths as prep-rooms, the all white walls and fluorescent lighting tends to provide more of a controlled environment (visually) that from various angles will show any imperfections in the metal work during blocking and prep prior to paint. Its not uncommon to find imperfections etc.. under fluorescent light that you never see when outside. Additionally, a "dedicated aluminum bay" is common in many restoration shops and/or facilities that provide collision repair on higher end vehicles such as Porsche, Audi, Telsa, etc.. Many of the panels, and in some cases the full chassis are aluminum. With regard to Porsche and Audi, they require the shop to be Porsche/Audi Certified for Aluminum repair or they will not even sell the parts to repair... and with the number of leased cars on the road, I'm sure other manufacturers down the road will be following. Anyway, the issue is two-fold with one having to do with the overall finish and longevity thereof as cross contamination of metals causes primers and paints not to properly adhere. In other words, steel contains properties that contaminate aluminum and cause it to corrode. So if you are working on aluminum in the same area, and with the same tools (metal files, hammers, etc) which then leads to adhesion and paint failures. Then of course there is the issue of safety as the combination of certain iron contaminants with aluminum can cause thermite reactionsiron oxide and aluminum dust in the shop together in proper amounts with magnesium, which is also found in many of todays high-end cars, and you have a recipe for and fiery explosion in the work environment.
