A paint drying system for drying a painted body ( 4 ), such as a painted motor vehicle, includes a spraybooth ( 1 ) having an enclosure ( 2 ) through which air flows from an air inlet ( 6 ) to an air outlet ( 16, 18 ). The spraybooth ( 1 ) may also have columns of air jets ( 34 ) mounted in respective corners of the enclosure ( 2 ) to direct air obliquely at surfaces of the vehicle body ( 4 ). The system includes ionization members ( 33 ) for electrically charging this air supply. In a preferred embodiment the air is negatively charged by ionization members comprising one or elongate rods ( 33 ) mounted parallel with the columns of air jets ( 34 ). The spraybooth ( 2 ) may also have a control system ( 210 ) for controlling the paint drying system ( 4 ). The control system ( 210 ) has user-operable controls ( 234 ) to pre-select a predetermined parameter/combination of parameters and thus control the characteristics of a respective drying stage or cycle which parameters, e.g. temperature, vary with time.
