Autocoat Engineering supplies large-format paint booths for buses, trucks, tractors, rail coaches, tippers and trailers up to 25 metres long — the largest commercial vehicle spray booths built in India. Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors CV, VECV, Volvo Eicher, Sonalika, Escorts, TAFE, ICF Chennai and RCF Kapurthala references. Since 1985.
Painting a bus, truck, or rail coach is a fundamentally different engineering problem to painting a car. Vehicles are 3–5× longer, sit 2–3× taller, and demand painters to walk around the full body during application. Autocoat has designed 100+ large commercial vehicle paint booths over 40 years, from 10-metre light-truck booths for tier-1 body builders to 25-metre rail coach paint booths for ICF Chennai and metro rail factories.
