Equipment Costs
Paint booth costs vary widely based on size, configuration, and features. Basic automotive crossdraft booths start around $15,000, while large downdraft systems can exceed $100,000.
Operating Costs
Operating costs include energy (heating and fans), filters, maintenance, and compliance. Budget $2,000-$10,000+ annually depending on usage and booth type.
Total Cost of Ownership
Consider lifetime costs, not just purchase price. Efficient equipment costs more upfront but saves money long-term.
