This patent relates to improvements in paint spray booths utilising robots. It describes a paint spray booth containing a robot which has a shape retaining cover. The cover comprises a plurality of adjacent members which interlock at the robot’s axes to seal out paint while allowing a full range of motion. The cover members are preferably made of rigid or semi-rigid shape retaining material. This minimises the generation of paint flakes which would otherwise occur when the robot is in use. A flexible outer cover which can be detached and laundered for reuse is mounted over the cover members.
