Prices for spray paint booths vary widely according to size, filtration system, and other features. Overall, they can range from $2,000 to $100,000, but the majority cost less than $20,000.
Basic industrial booths usually go for between $2,000 and $10,000. Open booths are less expensive than closed booths, and crossdraft booths are less expensive than downdraft booths. Very large or custom-sized booths may reach $15,000 to $20,000.
Air make-up units can cost more than the booth they connect to: a $10,000 downdraft booth might require a $10,000 to $20,000 air make-up unit. Booths for the automotive industry – where air make-up units are commonplace – are more typically $6,000 to $50,000.
Vendors may present their pricing in different ways: some vendors will simply provide a package price that includes everything – the parts, installation, delivery, filters, and more. Others will present one price during negotiations, then tack on additional fees for all of these items and more. As you're comparison shopping, make sure you get the total, installed price up front from each vendor.
Most booths are modular, so you can start small and expand as your business grows. Do consider spending some extra money on your initial purchase to ensure that your booth is upgradeable. For example, many booths can be purchased without an air make-up unit but support the later addition of one. If you plan to expand or add features to your booth, you may have to spend an extra one to two thousand dollars initially, but doing so will help you save money in the long run.
