GFS Paint Booth Reviews

Customers and product reviewers alike rave about GFS paint booths. For customers, it's all about the quality (excellent), price (fair), customer support (amazing), and improved efficiency (significant). GFS customers claim that upgrading their current equipment to a GFS auto paint booth increased productivity by as much as 35 percent, with one customer comparing the switch to stepping into a Ferrari after driving a station wagon.

Consumer reviewers were more interested in the background that helped create the company. They note that GFS employs its own system designers, airflow specialists, software developers, compliance specialists, and electrical, mechanical, and structural engineers. It is this diverse team of experts that reviewers credit with creating such high quality finishing systems, customized for each industry (or customer, if needed).

All in all, GFS earns incredible praise across the board. We were unable to find any negative reviews.
