Large vehicles like semis, buses and RVs demand specialized paint booths. Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) is a leading U.S. manufacturer of paint booths and finishing equipment. With over 50 years of industry experience and a reputation for high-performance durability, global manufacturers and collision repair centers turn to GFS for their truck paint booth needs.
GFS truck paint booths are precision-engineered and constructed from heavy-duty materials such as galvanized sheet steel to deliver top-quality finishes. We offer an extensive line of truck paint booth models and options to fit nearly any facility, and we can custom design booths to meet the unique needs of our customers. All of our finishing solutions are also code-compliant to ensure worker safety.
Downdraft truck paint booths are generally considered to offer the best airflow style since they excel at eliminating overspray and other contaminants. Air enters the booth through a full-length, filtered ceiling plenum and flows vertically over the product until it’s exhausted through a filtered exhaust pit in the floor.
Side downdraft truck paint booths provide an economical alternative for facilities that cannot install an exhaust pit. Air enters through a full-length, filtered ceiling plenum and flows downward over the product. Floor-level filtered exhaust plenums are located on both sides of the booth to expel the air.
Crossdraft truck paint booths are the most economical option. Air flows horizontally over the product, entering at the front of the booth and exiting through an exhaust plenum in the rear. Pressurized booths have a dedicated intake chamber, while non-pressurized booths have filtered doors.
GFS products are designed and manufactured to meet the applicable requirements of various industry-recognized codes and standards.
Please be aware that local requirements may vary from national codes. GFS recommends consulting with your local authority before purchasing paint booths or other finishing equipment.
GFS engineers regularly contribute to the advancement of codes and standards that affect the industries that we work in. Several of our engineers serve on various NFPA Technical Committees responsible for key finishing industry standards.

Suddenly, yesterday’s production-crippling setbacks have become today’s opportunities for growth.
There are a lot of moving pieces when repairing heavy-duty trucks, with large parts orders, tons of labor and jobs in various stages of completion. As a body shop manager for Rihm Kenworth, Randy Johansson needed efficient finishing equipment that will not slow down production, and GFS delivered as promised.
In June 2014, Maxville Truck and Repair started up their new 18-by-16-by-50-foot drive-thru crossdraft Heavy-Duty Truck Paint Booth for the first time. With sandblasting and painting services in-house, there is not much they cannot do. Since the addition of their truck paint booth, they have noticed the ability to rapidly turn trucks over.
