As we look forward to what 2022 has in store, we pause to look back on 2021. While this year was marked by more uncertainty and change, we enjoyed sharing customer stories, assisting you in keeping your shop and employees safe, and highlighting the process of achieving high-quality paint finishes. In case you missed them, here are our top five blog posts of 2021.
GFS is excited to return to the SEMA Show next month to meet with body shop owners, managers, technicians and automotive refinish professionals.

Repairing high-end vehicles requires nothing less than the highest-quality finishes, and Robert Gallegos wanted the best equipment he could find for the body shop he co-owns with his brother, Andrew.

Jetstream Aviation’s paint shop in Kinston, North Carolina, became operational in 2021, with a GFS Aircraft Paint Booth that measures 95 feet wide, 30 feet high and 104 feet deep. An airflow rate of 210,000 CFM, coupled with an air-cooled chiller and heated Air Make-Up Units (AMUs), give Jetstream the ability to complete basic repairs to the most complex ones, in the least amount of time possible.
Running a solo operation, Derry Peterson needed reliable, efficient equipment that he could trust for his restoration shop that specializes in hot rods. GFS met his expectations, as Legenderry Auto Body opened in 2021 with an Ultra XS Paint Booth and attached Ultra XS Paint Mix Room.
