A good paint shop begins with an exceptional paint product, the best equipment available to do the job, and the most experienced technicians...

When the body technician has finished his major reconstruction repairs, the vehicle is sent to the paint shop for the first stage of the painting process. After panels have been welded on, or there are interior panels that have been damaged, the "jambs" or interior of the panel must be painted. Then the vehicle is sent back to the body tech for the next assembly process.

The body tech further installs the major bolt on outer body panels such as doors, fenders, and hood. Without installing the hardware, (latches, handles, lights and moulding), the vehicle is sent back to one of three downdraft prep-stations for the final preparation of the vehicle. The downdraft provides a sort of vacuum of air from the top to the bottom of the car, keeping dust and fumes down. Here, the vehicle goes through the final stage of preparation. This includes applying primer to the affected areas, sanding of the exterior panels, and masking the vehicle. After this, the car is sent to one of our top of the line paint booths.

At a glance, you can see the versatility of the downdraft spray booth. It's drive in capabilities, along with the water base floor, the downdraft airflow action, and its array of bake cycle temperatures, make this one of the premier painting facilities in the collision industry.

In this photo above, it's clearer to see the effectiveness of proper lighting and a good filtration system. You can see why Capitol Auto Body Inc. is a preferred shop for most major insurance companies.
