EPA area-source rules (6H and 6X), OSHA spray finishing standards and NFPA 33 shape how booths are built, which guns are allowed, which filters you need and how painters are trained. We help you understand what applies, supply compliant equipment and documentation, and train your team. We're not lawyers — we're the people who know the equipment inside out.
If you're seeing any of these, we can help — usually starting with a conversation and a visit to your floor.
Diagnose first. Recommend second. Then make sure your team can run it.
Coatings and SDS sheets tell us whether target HAP rules likely apply.
Gun types, filter efficiency, enclosure and airflow gauges against the requirements.
Training on gun setup, technique, booth and filter maintenance, with records for your files.
Supplied-air respirators, breathing-air systems, safety cabinets and PPE from brands we trust.
Typical starting points — every recommendation is fit to your parts, coatings, volumes and people.
Option 1
Best for: Small shops getting organized
Option 2
Best for: Plants with regular painter turnover
Option 3
Best for: New lines, expansions, audits
We're brand-flexible: we'll recommend what fits your job, not what fills a quota.
Bullard · Respiratory & safety
Loose-fitting respirator hoods that cover the head, face and neck, used for painting, spray foam, chemical handling and pharmaceutical work. They run on supplied air or with Bullard's EVA/EVAHL PAPRs.
Graco · Gun cleaning & solvent recycling
Air-powered pressure washers built on Graco's NXT air motor for industrial and sanitary cleanup, including food plants and heavy maintenance work.
Autoquip · Gun cleaning & solvent recycling
Air-driven wet-brush units that scrub paint overspray off spray gun air caps and fluid tips between parts. Built in stainless steel for manual or automatic guns.
Uni-Ram · Gun cleaning & solvent recycling
Two-tank spray gun washers that clean solvent guns (primer, clear) in one tank and waterborne basecoat guns in the other, all in one cabinet.
Bullard · Respiratory & safety
A lightweight continuous-flow airline respirator helmet for abrasive blasting. It runs on high-pressure compressed air or an ambient-air (Free-Air) pump.
Autoquip · Gun cleaning & solvent recycling
Spray-jet cleaning station for automatic and robotic guns: solvent and air jets clean the air cap while a venturi vacuum draws off vapors to the waste line.
Have a problem like this?
Describe it in a few sentences and upload photos. We'll come back with questions, a plan and a quote.
They can apply when spray-applied coatings contain certain metal compounds (chromium, lead, manganese, nickel, cadmium) or when you're in specific metal fabrication categories. Your coating SDS sheets are the starting point. Final determinations belong with Ohio EPA or your environmental consultant.
Under 6H and 6X, painters need documented training, with refresher certification at least every five years.
No. We provide equipment expertise and practical guidance and will point you to Ohio EPA's free small-business assistance office or your consultant for determinations.
Send a parts list or describe the problem. A finishing specialist will respond within one business day with next steps, pricing and timeline.
