Spray booth for Power coating AND conventional spray painting

[mikeman]

I just bought a 4x4 Devilbiss spray booth.
Since I own an auto body shop I was thinking of using this for powder coating parts and also an occasional spray booth for car doors,panels ect. is there going to be a problem using it like this?
I have never done a power coating job yet but I have all the tools to do so.Just doing the planing ahead of time and trying to resolve problems before I have them.

Not a good idea, wet paint and powder should be kept separate. Preferably not even in the same room or even the building for that matter.

Ya, there are. I would hope they have the powder room and the wet paint room ventilated seperately from one another. I would not do it in the same room. All the petroleum based chemicals and things associated with wet paint I certainly would not take the chance.

Moisture (read wet paints) sprayed in vincinity of powders can easily contaminate the powder. You dont want moisture contaminated powder, trust me. Nor do you want powder dust in your ewt paint application.
