Looking up the price of a paint booth online is a frustrating experience: almost every manufacturer sends you to a quote without giving the slightest order of magnitude. We understand why — the price really does depend on the configuration — but that does not help you know whether your project costs €10,000 or €100,000.

So we publish our price ranges. They do not replace a study; they let you know whether the project is within your budget before you start the discussion.

01

Price ranges by product line

Prices excluding VAT, delivery and installation included unless stated otherwise. Extraction ducting and civil works remain price on request, because they depend on your building.

These amounts are indicative. Travel costs may be added depending on the distance, and the configuration chosen changes the price.

  • Enclosed automotive paint booth — from €26,900 excl. VAT, delivery and installation included. 6 × 4 m format, filtered and heated air, curing mode.
  • Retractable or foldable booth — from €17,900 excl. VAT, delivery included, installation not included. An enclosed, ventilated space that folds away to give the floor space back to the workshop.
  • Open booth — from €7,000 to €12,000 excl. VAT. A ventilated, filtered area without full enclosure, without heating: plan for infrared lamps if drying needs to be speeded up.
  • Enclosed truck booth — from €48,000 excl. VAT. The length of the vehicle and the usable height drive the price.
  • Retractable truck booth — from €34,000 excl. VAT.
  • Industrial or custom-built booth — priced after a study. Too dependent on the parts, the building and the handling for a price range to mean anything.
02

What makes the price vary

Between the bottom and the top of the same product line, the difference comes down to just a few items. Knowing them lets you make choices rather than have them made for you.

  • The usable dimensions, set by your most demanding part, not by the most common one
  • The ventilation: airflow is calculated on the real extraction area, and generous sizing costs more to buy but pays for itself in use
  • The heating and the curing mode, which account for much of the difference between an open booth and an enclosed booth
  • Heat recovery, which increases the investment and reduces the running costs
  • The filtration class if your specification requires better than the standard
  • Additional modules: preparation area, washing station, paint mixing room
  • Civil works: a pit or a plenum changes the equation, and it is often the building that decides
03

What these prices do not include

Better to say it clearly than for you to discover it in the quote.

  • Civil works — pit, plenum, slab repairs. Price on request, after a survey of your floor.
  • Extraction ducting, supply and installation. Price on request: the route to the discharge point depends entirely on your building.
  • Travel costs, depending on the distance
  • The electrical connection: our installations require a 400 V three-phase supply with neutral
  • Options: compressed-air rail, enhanced lighting, extra insulation, variable frequency drives

Financing, warranty, service life

A booth is an industrial investment, and the purchase price is only part of the question.

Financing — lease financing with a purchase option is possible. A deposit is not required, and the application is assessed on your balance sheets for the last two financial years.

Warranty — one year, extendable up to seven years with a maintenance contract.

Service life — we state more than twenty years for a properly maintained enclosed booth. Spread over that period, the difference in purchase price between two configurations often weighs less than the difference in consumption.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does an automotive paint booth cost?

From €26,900 excl. VAT for an enclosed booth in the 6 × 4 m format, delivery and installation included, and from €17,900 excl. VAT for a retractable version, delivery included, installation not included. Extraction ducting and civil works remain price on request, because they depend on your building. Travel costs may be added depending on the distance.

Why do prices vary so much from one manufacturer to another?

Because they are not all comparing the same thing. Ventilation airflow, filtration class, heating method and whether or not there is a curing mode all make the price vary widely. Before comparing two offers, check that they state the same airflow and on what basis it was calculated — booth empty or vehicle in place.

Is a second-hand booth a good deal?

Sometimes, but rarely as it stands. The condition of the filters, motors and insulation determines everything, and a compliance upgrade can eat up a large share of the saving. We carry out this kind of audit and refurbishment, including on booths we did not build.

Can the installation be financed?

Yes, through a lease with a purchase option. A deposit is not required and the application is assessed on your last two balance sheets. We point you in the right direction without taking the place of your financial partner.

Are these prices excluding VAT?

Yes, all the amounts on this page are stated excluding VAT, as is customary between businesses.

Is installation included?

Yes. Delivery and installation by our teams are included in the prices shown. What remains price on request is the extraction ducting and the civil works: their cost depends on your building, the route to the discharge point and the condition of your floor.
