How long I paint booth?

RRoccoT · 02-08-2022, 07:28 AM

22 M440i Gran Coupe. Any idea how long it takes for vehicle to do in the paint booth?

According to the my bmw website, mine was in the paint booth for 1 day or less.

Entered paint booth on 12/15/21 and had moved two steps by 12/16/21.

Yup, what SpeedyATL said. Those first 3 steps usually cruise within a single day. Mine went from exterior assembly, to paint, to assembly line on the same day.

Wow. Thought so. Mine has been in paint booth 3 days?!

I would bet it's just a delay in their system tracking and it just hasn't updated the status yet

I understand they use rattle cans by hand on the GCs, rather than robots. So maybe that's why it takes longer....

Unfortunately, the graffiti artists they hired for the GC painting have gone on strike due to poor work conditions.
