Automotive Refinish
“We used to do two booth cycles a day. In this new setup, sitting on our hands, we’ll paint four cars a day. I fully expect that our capacity — in an instant — will be doubled. And I expect the system can do much more than that. With the correct person pulling the trigger, we should paint six cars a day.”
Thank you for the continued support of your product and our business. We appreciate that our case was not left until fully dealt with.
“My equipment has paid for itself 100 times over. Being as large of a company as GFS is, once you’re working with them, it seems like they’re a much smaller company in the sense that they’re able to do stuff very quickly, very much to the point and very personalized to our needs.”
“It’s not so much about the paint booth. It’s the service you get after the booth purchase and the responsiveness and quality of the product. That’s why we chose GFS.”
“We really clean the cars in our prep work, but we couldn’t do it without the paint booth. With our previous booth, there would always be at least one speck of dirt in the paint job that would ruin the whole finish. I’m still in awe of how consistent the airflow is in the booth and how clean the cars come out of it.”

When Greg Stelse visited the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan with his wife and business partner, Leah, he left knowing what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. An experienced truck driver and successful business owner, he had to break the news to Leah that he wanted to sell their multi-million dollar company and open up shop to focus on the “average guy.”
