Letterkenny paint booths being upgraded
Letterkenny Army Depot painters prepare to de-mask a freshly painted ground mobility vehicle (GMV) inside a paint booth similar to the booths being upgraded as part of a $43 million project to make improvements to the infrastructure on the depot. The GMV was road tested prior to going through the final paint process. The upgrades will allow paint to adhere to the asset more efficiency and across the entire asset in one paint cycle. Some booths are receiving an infrared drying system (IR). Other booths will be retrofitted with gas fired elevated temperature systems to maintain maximum capacity inside the booth.
