A conversion workshop works on vehicles that resemble each other very little. A lifted chassis, a replaced body, an extended cab and side additions make every vehicle its own measuring case.
Modified vehicle refinishing rests on one rule in this family: size follows the body being coated, not an off-the-shelf model built on a class.
Why the common rule breaks
The common rule picks the booth by vehicle class — passenger car, SUV, light truck. It works for as long as the vehicle stays inside the dimensions of its class.
A modified vehicle breaks that link by definition: it carries the name of one class and the dimensions of another. Choosing by class becomes choosing by name rather than by size.
| What is measured | Why | Where it shows |
|---|---|---|
| All three dimensions after conversion | The class no longer describes it | Internal size and door |
| Coated surface area | It differs from the original class | Cycle time and air capacity |
| Finishing material in use | Conversion usually changes it | Heat curve and filtration |
The variety itself is a specification item
A workshop seeing one modified vehicle a month needs something different from a workshop whose core business is conversion. The first needs a chamber that absorbs the exception; the second needs a chamber built on the exception.
- The longest modified vehicle you take in — not the average of what comes through
- The tallest with its fit-out — measured after conversion, not before
- Modified vehicles per month — this decides whether the chamber is built on them or merely absorbs them
Frequently asked questions
Can a stock model serve a conversion workshop?
It serves the vehicles that stayed inside the automotive envelope, with its 6,900 × 4,000 × 2,650 mm internal cabin. Anything beyond that is designed and built to order at the size of the body.
What decides between a stock model and a custom booth?
The share of your work that falls outside the automotive envelope. If it is small, an external arrangement may cover it; if it is the business itself, the chamber is built on it from the start.
Does filtration change with the finishing material?
Yes. Delivered filtration in this family runs from stop, pre and ceiling filtration at EU3, EU4 and EU5 up to three-stage bag and high-efficiency filtration at ≥98%, and the stage required is fixed from the material and the acceptance requirements.
