“The spray booth has been very good. We have had extremely high-quality paint jobs. A lot of it has to do with the booth’s design and construction in keeping debris out of the paint jobs by the way the airflow of the booth is configured.”
“It feels good knowing that we can pull it off and telling the owner and shareholders that we can make this work. It is largely because the paint booth is working exactly as designed. I cannot think of a single thing that has not worked as designed. Everything has worked exactly the way we have wanted it to.”
