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.
With a 40-year-old paint booth, J&M Collision Center was long overdue for an upgrade. Jim Bilz needed a new booth that would prevent bottlenecks and alleviate his body shop’s big backlog. His problems were solved in 2021 with the addition of an Ultra XD Paint Booth from GFS.
When it comes to technology, Chuck Kreuzer likes being ahead of his competition. Upgrading to an Ultra XR Paint Booth integrated with REVO Speed from GFS, along with four REVO Spot units, has given Chuck’s Collision Shop fewer production bottlenecks, improved efficiency and increased energy savings.
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.
As Bob’s Machine Shop evolved into one of the country’s premier manufacturers of jack plates for boats, their finishing equipment needed an upgrade. A new Performer ES Paint Booth from GFS with long-lasting GFS Wave exhaust filters has Steven Pelini confident in his company’s future, thanks to increased production, shorter lead times and improved efficiency.
