Gone are the days when the prep area was just another stop in the repair or manufacturing process. For most businesses, the prep area has turned into an essential component in a profitable operation. Whether a prep booth in an automotive body shop or a blast booth at an industrial manufacturing facility, Global Finishing Solutions® (GFS) carries a wide range of prep products for automotive, industrial and aerospace applications.
GFS Aluminum Repair Stations are flexible, cost-effective solutions for the isolation of aluminum repair processes. A dedicated environment for aluminum repair is essential to protect your employees and prevent contamination from compromising repairs. Three models of Aluminum Repair Stations are available to meet the cost and space restrictions of all types of automotive body shops.
GFS Blast Booths provide a secure and efficient environment for abrasive blasting processes essential for superior surface preparation before liquid or powder coating. By preventing blast media from escaping the enclosure, GFS prioritizes the safety of your workers and the integrity of your workspace.
GFS Sanding and Grinding Booths include Dust Collection Modules, which provide a safe, effective way for industrial manufacturers and job shops to contain dust, essentially functioning as a vacuum and an air purifier.
GFS offers two types of prep booths/prep stations for automotive refinish applications. Versatile, end-to-end finishing environments, Ultra® Closed-Top Open-Front (CTOF) Booths from GFS allow for vehicles to be filled, primed, sealed, painted and cured in one location. The Excel® Workstation from GFS — which meets the requirements of the EPA’s 6H Paint Rule (40CFR63 Subpart HHHHHH) — provides a controlled environment for sanding, priming and limited painting.
For industrial manufacturers and job shops seeking superior surface preparation, GFS offers both Wash Booths and Industrial Pretreatment Washers. GFS Wash Booths are safe, controlled environments for the manual spraying of cleaning and rinsing solutions. GFS Industrial Pretreatment Washers provide a highly efficient environment for washing processes and are often designed with separate housing sections to accommodate multiple pretreatment stages.

A new building meant new finishing equipment earlier this year for Fix Auto Alameda. And owner Arthur Mercado wanted the best technology on the market to help ensure his 18-year-old business stays ahead of the competition.
The recently released REVO Rapid MC1 from GFS fills the gap between the single-cassette REVO Spot and the dual-cassette, dual-sensor REVO Rapid MC2 and OR2 models. Featuring two cassettes with a single set of sensors, the REVO Rapid MC1 provides a more affordable solution for curing filler and coatings on two different vehicles or panels at the same time.
With a shop expansion underway at ABRA Faribault, three things were priorities for body shop general manager Aaron Kasparek — increased flexibility, more space and better contamination control. Check, check and check, mostly thanks to a dual-bay Ultra XD Closed-Top Open-Front (CTOF) Booth from GFS that was paired with an Ultra XD Paint Booth and Ultra XD Paint Mix Room in hopes maximized productivity boosts the bottom line.
