A portable variable volume paint spray enclosure or booth includes a frame assembled from longitudinal members and detachable clamps. The clamps secure together adjacent ends of the longitudinal members. The paint spray enclosure further includes a flexible cover disposed upon the frame such that a relatively air tight enclosure having a predetermined configuration is formed. The assembled frame and flexible cover extend from grade level to a predetermined elevation to encase an object to be painted. The paint spray enclosure also includes an air flow input apparatus for allowing air flow into the enclosure, and an air extraction apparatus/air scrubber for removing air from the enclosure, such that air mixed with vaporized paint inside the enclosure is removed from the enclosure before the paint vapor and air combine to form an explosive mixture, thereby preventing an explosion and/or fire from occurring inside the enclosure, and preventing operators from being exposed to harmful fumes. The air scrubber removes the paint vapor from the air as the combination exits the enclosure, thereby allowing only clean air back into the atmosphere.

An improved mobile paint booth system and method for applying paint to a vehicle is herein disclosed. An improved mobile paint booth can comprise a plurality of vertical supports, a base support, a first upper beam, and a second upper beam. The plurality of vertical supports can comprise a corner support at each corner, and a middle support along a first wall. The base support can be substantially in the shape of a U that can connect each of the vertical supports. The base of the U can be along the bottom of the first wall. The first upper beam that can connect a first set of the corner support and the middle support. The second upper beam that can connect a second set of the corner support.

A painting system suitable for painting a fuselage of an aircraft, including a paint booth which is positioned on a platform. This paint booth includes at least first and second lateral openings which are configured to permit the wings of the aircraft to pass through the paint booth, in addition to at least two elements, at least one thereof being mobile between an adjacent position corresponding to a closed state of the paint booth in which the two elements are joined together, in addition to a spaced-apart position corresponding to an open state of the paint booth in which the fuselage can be positioned between the two elements.

An inflatable structure for painting aircraft, comprised of a front chamber and a rear chamber. An aircraft can be positioned within the structure. Air vents within the structure create a positive pressure environment within the structure for removing paint fumes and preventing dirt or contaminants from entering the structure.

A portable spray booth for coating an item such as a wheel with a sprayable material. An actuator is configured in use to support a spray gun which is in fluid communication with a first supply of the sprayable material. At least one laser is operative to illuminate a wheel with laser radiation. A detector detects reflected laser radiation from the wheel to derive a signal indicative of the profile of the wheel. A processor processes the signal to obtain a control signal which is output to the actuator and the spray gun to cause the first supply of sprayable material to be dispensed from the spray gun onto the wheel in a user defined manner and a detector senses an amount of sprayable material in each reusable paint pot or canister and generates a warning signal to reorder a paint pot or canister before all the sprayable is used.
