Truck, Van, and R.V. Paint Booths - Cost Effective Solutions for
Your Requirements
Updated July 2026
A truck, trailer, and RV paint booth is a large, code-compliant spray booth sized to finish full vehicles such as Sprinter vans, box trucks, trailers, and large motorhomes. AEI Paint Booths builds custom truck, van, and RV paint booths direct from the manufacturer, with standard interior sizes from 16'–20' wide and 16'–18' tall in any length, built to meet NFPA 33 and OSHA (CFR 29.1910.107). Since 2003 we have engineered crossdraft, semi-downdraft, and downdraft booths with heated air makeup for vehicle manufacturers and refinishers across North America.
Truck, Van, RV Paint Booths:
AEI is a supplier of trailer, truck, and large R.V. paint
booths dedicated to providing only the best in spray booth
systems. We offer a series of mid size booths for Sprinters and
large vans and a series of standard large R.V.
booths.
Standard paint booths are 16'-20' Wide by 16'-18' Tall by any length. We can custom design a system for your unique requirements
or provide a standard spray booth from a large offering of pre-engineered
booths.
Selecting Paint Booth Type
Once we have an idea of your objectives and work flow we can help select the best style
of paint booth airflow for your application. The shape and size of items to be painted will help determine the
best airflow type for your process. Are you painting Sprinter vans,
small RV's, large vehicles, or some type of trailer? Your workflow and process time needs
will help us determine if you need a fast drying cycle and if you might
benefit from having product doors on each end of your paint booth.
Project Management
The installation of your new paint
booth system is critical to the seamlessness of the process. Many disciplines are involved in the installation process. Engineering, permitting, mechanical, electrical, plumbing/gas, as
well as considerations of the existing building or new building. Our attention to detail in
large equipment project management and coordination with all contractors, architects, and engineers will provide a seamless installation process. We have over 20 years experience in working with
clients in need of a large vehicle paint booth. We also have over 20 years experience with large vehicle re-finishing
paint booths and facility workflow. We know the right questions to ask to provide you with the best system for your unique application.
Code Compliance:
All of our truck, van, and large RV paint booths are designed to meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), Standard Number 33, as well as the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) CFR 29.1910.107 covering the operation and construction of spray booths.
What Comes Standard on an AEI Truck, Trailer & RV Paint Booth?
How to Select a Paint Booth Airflow:
We will help you select the best airflow for your specific application and work flow. The shape and size of your work will help us determine what airflow pattern will best control your overspray, provide a clean dirt free work area, and protect your painters.
Selecting the correct airflow for your paint booth will often be unique to your process. There is no best airflow for all applications. Are you painting complete items or sections of large items? Are you using multiple colors? Are you painting the same size work every time or does the size vary?
Work flow and shop space for staging will help determine if an accelerated dry cycle might be right for you. If you are applying multiple coats a flash cycle may increase throughput.
Paint Booth Airflow Options:
Crossdraft Airflow: Air enters the booth through filtered intake columns inside the front corners of the booth for a pressurized booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chamber at the rear of the booth by an exhaust fan.
Semi Downdraft Airflow: The air makeup unit pushes air into the booth through the filtered intake plenum on top of the booth above the front doors. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chamber at the rear of the booth by an exhaust fan.
Downdraft Airflow: The air makeup unit pushes air into the booth through the full length filtered intake plenum on top of the booth. The clean filtered air flows through the work area and is pulled through the filtered exhaust chambers at floor level in the side walls of the booth or by a filtered grated pit in the floor of the booth by an exhaust fans.
Construction:
Panels: Panels have Pre-Punched Bolt Holes on 6” Centers. Panels are fabricated from 18-gauge prime quality G-90 galvanized steel. Panels are fastened together with nuts and bolts for maximum rigidity and ease of assembly. Holes are precision CNC punched on 6” centers. Pre-punched holes assure true panel alignment.
Structural Support: Beams and columns are fabricated from formed 10 Gauge Galvanized Steel or W6x9 Steel Beams. Support is placed on maximum 10' centers for added rigidity. Support columns anchor to a concrete floor with special concrete bolts selected for your facility concrete.
Product/Personnel Doors:
Product Doors: Options for coil type roll up doors or standard swing type doors. These doors are provided with a closed cell foam rubber weather stripping seal about the perimeter and a neoprene rubber sweep seal at the threshold. The mounting hardware provided includes a panic type safety latch and four 9'' door pulls.
Personnel Access Doors with Window: Personnel access doors are provided as a double wall 18-gauge galvanized steel unit sized at 36'' x 84” and are provided pre-hung in a heavy gauge steel frame ready for mounting to the spray booth. Mounting hardware includes a panic type safety latch and two 6'' door pulls.
Exhaust System:
Exhaust Fans: A tube axial type duct fan specifically designed and constructed for use in paint spray booths and similar applications is provided for exhaust. A precision balanced, fabricated, aluminum non-sparking fan blade moves the air through the fan. Bearings are mounted in rubber isolators for smooth operation. The motor, drive, and bearings are isolated from the exhaust air stream. The bearings are sized with a minimum average life, per AFBMA, in excess of 200,000 hours when operating at the maximum RPM of the fan size.
Filtration:
Intake Filtration: Intake air filters: Rated by UL as Class 2 and are EPA registered as environmentally safe. Filters are self-supporting in an internal frame - 20'' x 20'' x 1''.
Exhaust Filters: Filtration has six layers of expanded paper to create an alternating labyrinth upstream of a heavy polyester backing. This combination yields higher efficiency while still providing ample holding capacity in a wide variety of applications. Filters are lab tested with over a 99.8% particulate removal efficiency. FilterLoc track is mounted to the exhaust chamber providing a tighter seal to help eliminate overspray bypass. The roll media is secured in the FilterLoc track using the provided FilterLoc Tool. The new technology provides savings by allowing the utilization of roll media reducing overall cost and decreases overall filter change out time.
LED Lighting:
LED Illumination: • Fixtures are Maintenance-Free rated for Class I Division II Groups A, B, C, D; Class II Division II Groups F and G. Fixtures are ETL listed and approved for their intended use and placement. Lighting is provided by innovative LED technologies consisting of multiple high efficiency flux boards paired with high efficiency drivers. Fixtures are designed to accept either 120VAC or 277VAC power. Driver and boards carry a 5-year limited warranty.
Air Makeup Units - Heat and Cure:
Our heat and cure systems are designed to help you move your work through the process as quickly as possible. We offer a basic heat and cure system and another system with heat, flash, and cure modes. The flash mode allows you to dry the paint between coats. Works great for both solvent and water based paints. Our standard paint booth heat and cure system features include a Variable Air Volume System (VAV) and Automatic Booth Pressure Balancing System (AB) which make our air makeup units stand out from the rest. On large equipment booths this can save a lot on operation costs.

VAV - Variable Air Volume Control System:
The variable air volume control systems give you precise control over the air flow when you are painting, flashing, and curing. This allows you to adjust for solvent base or water base paints, different
sized pieces of work, Go-Cart or SUV, and different outside air conditions like -10°F and 5% humidity or +95°F and 85% humidity.
We offer the ability to flash and cure at 100% airflow and high temperatures. We can provide 100% airflow and a 120°F temperature rise over the outside air temperature. 20°F outside our system can
provide 100% airflow at 140°F.
This system allows you to control how much air is used by the air make-up unit allowing you to control operational costs as well.
System includes Variable Frequency Drives for both intake and exhaust volume control. Includes Programmable Digital Control Panel. We use special gas valving and controls coupled with a variable frequency
drive for the air makeup unit motor to properly control airflow volume.
AB - Automatic Booth Pressure Balancing:
The Automatic Balancing System speeds up or slows down the exhaust
fan to keep the pressure balanced in the booth and the airflow at a proper speed. Set the pressure desired in the booth and the system will automatically adjust the speed of the exhaust fan to
maintain the desired preset pressure.
Nationwide Service: 100's of local service technicians located across the entire United States. These technicians are also avaliable for system startup and training.
