A HARDWORKING AND COMPLETE REFINISH SYSTEM
Everything you need to deliver on finish: basecoat technologies to fit the repair plus single-stage options, industry-recognized primers/sealers and surfacers for adhesion, corrosion resistance, and sanding and filling properties, a mix bank rich in color (30+ toners) and effect (20 pearls), and tough clears. Clearcoat formulas range from a high-gloss show quality formulas to a matte option for specialty work and projects.
Coming in May 2021 from Innovative Tools & Technologies will be locking spray gun cabinets. The door is designed to flip up and stay out of your way, and the digital cabinet lock will keep your expensive spray guns safe and secure. Inside the cabinet is able to hold up to six guns, and the deluxe model of the cabinet has an additional mounting bar underneath for holding three more spray guns with cups. Boasting heavy duty construction, a powder coat finish, and lifetime warranty, this cabinet embodies everything technicians have come to associate with Innovative Tools.

If you are looking at multiple portable dustless sanding units, it is wiser to invest in one industrial central system. With the central unit installed in a remote location, noise is significantly reduced and floor space is maximized to create greater productivity. Each system is versatile in its function, capturing sanding dust at the source and is also used for vehicle detailing and general shop cleanups.
Eurovac also provides custom engineered layouts so that drops are located exactly where they are needed for maximum efficiency. So while Eurovac offers top of the line portables, it may be worthwhile to check out the benefits of a central system for your facility.
