We’re opening a one-of-a-kind innovation/fabrication lab (our KUKA kr150 r3100 arrives today!), and we’re trying to select paint (wall and ceiling) that will look great and will give us the most efficient work space possible.
Does anyone have any insights or advice on what color of paint and sheen best hide the kind of dust and debris that come with working in this kind of lab? What type/color of paint have you found is a great camouflage for dust and is best for washing down / keeping clean?
BACKGROUND:
We’re working with materials like wood, foam and metals
Our space is made up of CMU Walls / Metal Decking / Steel Trusses
We want to choose paint shades and sheens that camouflage dust and debris as much as possible
Thanks in advance for any insights that you can provide!
Mate- have a lookup for workshop/auto shop/garage paints and floor coatings and you should find ranges of paint to suit what you need.
If it was me I’d have a simple grey none slip floor then go down the route of cladding the walls in a colour you like instead of painting- cladding is wipe down so easy to maintain and if it’s really bogging you can use any number of off the shelf cleaning products to get it nice and shiny again…just make sure you have plenty of extractor fans and ventilation if you’re dealing with that stuff. You can even lookup spray boothes, what a spray booth has is what you’re after.
