Past Projects: Gone, But Not Forgotten
(shops now closed, shown as examples)

Gus Paulos Chevrolet Body Shop
(now Salt Lake Valley Chevrolet)
West Valley City, Utah

Limited space for this 1993 installation presented challenges. Air make-up system for the Spraybake water bath paint booth (right) was placed on the other side of the wall from the booth. No shoe horn required!

(Right top and bottom) One Spraybake prep station was installed across the back of the shop, with another perpendicular to it on the left. Just enough space to drive a car between them for booth access.

Dent Master
of Salt Lake
(now Valley Collision)
Salt Lake City, Utah

As part of a large-scale 2008 remodel, this busy shop's entire painting operation was given a high-tech update.

The booth on the right was converted from a crossdraft to a semi-downdraft booth, and the length was extended by three feet. A Spray Tech/Mercury one million BTU heated air makeup was installed over the booth.

(Right) The semi-downdraft booth conversion was done by removing door filters and adding a filtered plenum to the ceiling.

(Above) The upgrade to the booth on the left included a mix room, a variable frequency drive and two additional light fixtures.

Gus Paulos Chevrolet
Bedliner Shop
West Valley City, Utah

Completed in summer 2005, this addition to the existing dealer body shop provides a safe environment for application of truck bedliner material.

(Right) The sides are enclosed with Goff's curtain walls treated with a washable "slime" coating. Note the unique curtain cut-out that demarcates the cab from the bed.

(Below) The bedliner booth features a filtered Kayco Double Exhaust Riser. Two light fixtures are angled to illuminate the work area. The custom overhead canopy has three sets of intake filters positioned at the outer edge. These direct air flow across the spraying area in a "semi downdraft" configuration.

(Above) The curtain in use. The Bed Liner Booth accommodates the coating of two trucks at the same time. The "strip" door in the center allows entry and exit without disturbing curtain walls.
(Below) There is plenty of room to move around the truck in the spraying area, even with the tailgate down.

All Pro Auto Body
Sandy, Utah

This November 2005 installation features a Closed Top Open Face (CTOF) spray booth installed sideways in the back corner of the shop.

(Below) A photo created by John McCarthy Photography using "Widelux" technology turns the entire shop into a panoramic view. Amazing!

(Below) The CTOF booth is the first one of its kind we've done (and maybe the first in Utah). Instead of having the usual doors, it has a Goff's Curtain Wall that goes around an entire corner of the booth.

(Above) A shot of the driver's side front corner of the booth where left portion of the curtain begins.
