Any missed areas should be visible for the painters to paint them.

The system will help prevent over-spray when the required techniques are applied by the painters. Good ventilation in a painting cubicle saves on paint and other products that are used when painting. Paint that might spread on unwanted areas can easily be pulled away hence avoids over spaying and saves on paint.

Even though they have reduced emissions, the cubicle should be able to further reduce the fumes. These fumes are very harmful to humans. The ventilation of the cubicle should the away from where the worker work and away from the nearby buildings. This ensures a safe environment for workers.
