Global Finishing Solutions® (GFS) General Purpose Paint Booths are high-quality, cost-effective solutions for industrial manufacturers and businesses that need to paint equipment, utility vehicles and trucks that are too large for traditional automotive refinish booths but too small for our Large Equipment Paint Booth line. Pre-engineered models and standard options are fully ETL and ETL-C listed and meet or exceed industry safety standards.
| ETL and ETL-C Listed | Pre-engineered General Purpose models and options are fully ETL and ETL-C listed, ensuring that the entire booth complies with applicable safety codes and meets performance requirements. |
| Lighting | Designed and manufactured by GFS for optimal brightness, General Purpose Booths feature strategically placed hip light fixtures for precise, complete lighting with minimal shadows. All GFS light fixtures are ETL and ETL-C listed and come complete with energy-efficient LED lamps. |
| Fans & Motors | High-powered fans and motors supply optimal airflow through the paint booth, creating a cleaner environment for a better paint job. Each General Purpose Paint Booth includes a non-sparking, tube axial exhaust fan with belt guards and duct connector ring, along with a UL/CUL and CSA recognized three-phase, TEFC, tri-voltage motor. |
| Doors | Swing-type product doors (filtered or solid) and one personnel door(s) come standard with each pre-engineered General Purpose Paint Booth. Doors feature heavy-duty hinges with plate steel and replaceable brass brushings. Hinges guarantee long-lasting performance with no sagging. |
| Controls | For non-pressurized booths, an electromechanical control panel is used to control booth exhaust, safety interlocks and lights. Pressurized booths come standard with the simple-to-navigate Velocity® control panel, which supports spray, flash and cure modes along with many programmable alarms, auto-balance and automatic safety checks.

| Construction | General Purpose Paint Booths are constructed from high-quality, 18-gauge, G90 galvanized sheet steel. Quality components including plate steel door hinges, friction-style latches and precision-punched vertical panels with sturdy nut-and-bolt assembly ensure longevity, safety and structural integrity. |
| Crossdraft | The simplest, most cost-effective configuration, air flows horizontally through a crossdraft booth, parallel to the floor and over the product. Crossdraft airflow starts at the front of the booth, with air entering the booth through either filtered products doors (non-pressurized booths) or an intake chamber (pressurized booths). Air exits the booth through an exhaust plenum located at the rear of the booth. |
| Side Downdraft | Side downdraft booths are an economical solution for shops that aren’t able to install a pit. Air comes into the booth through a full-length, filtered ceiling plenum, and flows downward over the product. When air reaches the floor, it is pulled into floor-level filtered exhaust plenums on both sides of the booth. |
| Semi-Downdraft | The semi-downdraft booth is a hybrid combining features of both crossdraft and downdraft booths. Air is introduced to the booth through the ceiling in the first 25-30 percent of the booth. Then it’s pulled across the working chamber, over the product and into the filtered exhaust chamber at the booth rear. |
| Downdraft | Generally accepted as the best airflow style, downdraft booths do an excellent job controlling overspray and contamination. Air enters the booth through a full length, filtered ceiling plenum. From there, air flows vertically over the product and into the filtered exhaust pit in the floor. |
