paint shop

Where artists buy

A paint shop is a facility or section of a factory where vehicles, machinery, or other manufactured goods receive their coatings of paint.

In automotive manufacturing, the paint shop is one of the major production stages, where car bodies are primed, painted, and finished before final assembly.

The term also refers to smaller commercial establishments that sell paint and painting supplies, or auto body shops specializing in repainting vehicles.

The new sedan colors come straight from the paint shop.
