GFS-Exclusive Patented Design
A key feature of GFS' premium spray booths are
the Controlled Airflow (CAF) ceiling. This patented,
exclusive ceiling design was engineered to
maximize the effectiveness of downdraft airflow
models.
The main airflow zone creates a protective
envelope of air around the vehicle, while secondary
airflow zones prevent overspray from collecting
on the booth walls, and keep contaminants away
from the paint job. In between these airflow zones
are strategically placed ceiling lights. These colorcorrected lights are located directly above the
sides of the car for optimal illumination.

ACCELERATED AIRFLOW SYSTEM
AdvanceCure
Developed to help body shops be more productive, more efficient, and more
profitable. GFS’ AdvanceCure system greatly reduces the amount of time
needed to cure or dry any type of coating, be it waterborne or solvent-based.
In order to achieve the fastest drying times possible, air must be disrupted
and dispersed. This disruption is accomplished by creating turbulent airflow
on the surface of the vehicle, which is what AdvanceCure does. It breaks up
the slow-moving boundary air and rapidly speeds up the drying process.
AdvanceCure interacts with the downdraft airflow in order to produce
controlled turbulent airflow on all the surfaces of the vehicle. This effectively
turns the paint booth in to a convection oven, and drastically reduces
drying times.
Features:
• Complete vehicle coverage on horizontal and vertical surfaces
• Standard and retrofit systems to fit any make and model of
paint booth
• Effective with all waterborne and solvent-based paint products
• Independently adjustable, aluminum alloy nozzles
• Integrated or remote blowers
• 1-hp motor with intake filter
• 3-tube light available on corner mounted unit only
• Unique control system:
- Available in 4, 6 and 8-unit
control systems
4-unit shown
The most popular way to create turbulent
airflow and can be placed virtually in any
spray booth, including inside prep stations.

faster cabin heat rise and better efficiency than indirect
heat exchangers. Made of rust-resistant aluminum for
reduced maintenance, longer life, and also has a high
turndown ratio.
15
CONTROL PANELS
All GFS Truck and Large Equipment control panels are produced in-house in GFS' own state-of-the-art electrical facility. Instead of
purchasing off-the-shelf control panels and modifying them to fit an application, GFS designs and builds each panel to fit the unique
needs of each individual application.

• Decreases drying time between coat applications,
while maintaining booth temperature.
• Energy costs are reduced by up to 40% in flash mode by
recirculating 50% of the airflow.
Smart Cure
• Reduces air temperature once the metal temperature
reaches its desired temperature.
• Energy costs are reduced by up to 25% in cure mode.
ECO PACKAGE
GFS’ ECO Package reduces energy consumption and operating costs. A spray gun flow switch triggers
the VFD to speed up or slow down the fan motor. When the spray gun is placed on the hanger, the fan
slows to half speed. When the spray gun is taken off of the hanger, the fan returns to full speed. The ECO
Package includes intake and exhaust VFDs, Economy Mode and ECO booth decals.
Economy Mode
Economy Mode is an energy-saving control panel feature
that can save you up to 60% in electricity and 75% in fuel*.
The control panel will automatically switch to economy mode
when the operator has stopped spraying, reducing the overall
airflow by up to 50% and maintaining the same temperature.
* When compared to the same booth running at full capacity for the same
period of time.
16
VFDs
Two variable frequency drives
(VFDs) accelerate airflow during
flash-off cycles, providing energysaving smooth motor starts, and
facilitate the operation of the booth
in economy mode.
CONSTRUCTION
SOLID, LONG-LASTING CONSTRUCTION
A paint booth is only as good as the materials used to create it. As leader in the industry, GFS is constantly on the cutting edge of
refinish coating technology.
Ultra Auto Truck Pro Wall Panel Design
Designed to reduce the total number of joints and seams in the booth, vertical wall panels create a stronger and longer-lasting cabin.
Fewer seams also mean smoother walls, which are less likely to collect dirt and are easier to clean.
PVC Protection
White Finish Coat
Primer
Pre-Treatment
G-40 Galvanizing
For superior long life and durability, wall panels are produced
using rust-resistant G-40 galvanized sheet steel that is primed
and coated on both sides with a baked-on polyester topcoat.
Panels also have removable PVC protective plastic sheeting,
designed to protect panels while booth is being erected. The
industry standard is a non-galvanized, cold-rolled steel panel that
is painted white.
Steel
Dual-Skin Panels
GFS' pre-coated, dual-skin insulated panels provide a smooth fit
and finish with no exposed wires or cables. Insulated panels cut
down on noise and reduce ambient heat outside of the booth,
while keeping heated air inside the cabin.
H-Channel Construction
The unique H-Channel construction allows for easy booth setup.
6" galvanized steel H-Channel columns connect to booth wall
panels without nuts and bolts. Panels come together with a
virtually airtight seal. This leak-proof seal reduces the potential
for contamination, resulting in a cleaner booth and reduced
maintenance.
Single-Skin Panels
Single-skin panels utilize laminate steel design for superior
structural rigidity. Vertical and horizontal C-channel stiffeners
combined with nut-and-bolt construction provide unmatched
strength. Panels have exterior flanges that provide a smooth
interior surface. Optional I-beam construction is available.
Pre-Coated White Panels
Standard Galvanized Panels

AIRFLOW OPTIONS
The airstream moving through the booth gathers the solids and transports them to the filtration medium. The force and direction of the
air, the efficiency of the filtration, and the characteristics of the coating equipment determine not only the overall efficiency of the coating
operation, but also the quality of the finish. GFS offers four airflow systems, illustrated below. The Semi-Downdraft airflow system is a
special order, please contact GFS for ordering details.
Semi-Downdraft
Downdraft
High-Performance Paint Booth
Generally accepted as the
best airflow style, downdraft
booths do an excellent job
of controlling overspray and
contamination.
Air flows vertically from the
ceiling intake plenum at the
top of the booth, over the
vehicle, and into the filtered
exhaust pit in the floor.
Economical Paint Environment
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% of the
booth.
Then it's pulled across the working
chamber, over the vehicle and into
the filtered exhaust chamber at the
booth rear.
Semi-Downdraft airflow systems are special order, contact GFS for details.
Single-Row Pit Standard
Two-Row Pit Upgrade
Three-Row Pit Upgrade
Side Downdraft
Crossdraft
Downdraft airflow with no pit!
Side downdraft booths are an
economical solution for shops that
can't afford or aren't able to install
a pit. Air enters the booth through a
full-length ceiling plenum, and flows
downward over the vehicle.
Proven airflow design
When air reaches the floor, it
is pulled into floor-level filtered
exhaust plenums on each side of
the booth.
The simplest configuration,
crossdraft booths use an exhaust
fan to pull air in at one end of the
booth. Air may pass through a
filtered door, enter the working
chamber unfiltered, or be pushed
through a pressurized input
plenum.
Air flows parallel to the floor, across
the vehicle and into a filter bank at
the booth rear.
Variable Speed Unit
The air replacement unit is designed with a variable speed drive/motor and damper package to discharge either 140°F or 160°F air
for accelerated curing cycle. This design reduces airflow by 50% during the curing mode. This system always uses outside air during
the cure mode to ensure good clean air for the cure cycle. Also included is an auto-balance system with a variable frequency drive to
automatically adjust the airflow of the exhaust fan(s), to ensure proper booth balance during painting and curing modes.
Recirculating Airflow
20%
80%
During the cure cycle, once the air has passed through the working chamber, 20% of the air
20% is pulled through filters and back to the air replacement unit. There it is combined with 20%
fresh air, reheated and returned to the working chamber. The 20% air not returned to the air
replacement unit is filtered and exhausted directly into the atmosphere through ducting.
Automatic sensors and pressure monitors continually adjust to maintain the most consistent
working environment, the most efficient operation and lowest operating costs. The value of a
recirculating system lies in the preservation of resources: the working air is used over before
its heat is lost.
Force-Dry
Airflow
18
Recirculating Feature (optional)
Force-Dry Feature (optional)
An economical approach to paint curing is to reduce airflow 50% during the curing mode,
referred to as Force-Dry. This system always uses outside air during the cure mode to
ensure good clean air for the cure cycle. This system also includes an auto balance system
with a variable frequency drive (VFD) to automatically adjust the airflow of the exhaust fans
to ensure proper booth balance.
FAQS
Q.What should I expect from a new spray booth?
A. Filtration: Quality finishes require clean contaminate-free
air. This is accomplished by proper air filtration. Prior to air
entering the booth, GFS uses pre-filters to capture large
particles and debris, and high-efficiency intake filters to filter
out any remaining dirt and dust particles. The air is filtered
again before it is recirculated or exhausted from the booth.
Airflow: Proper airflow in
the booth is accomplished
by creating a flow of air
that envelops the vehicle
during booth operation.
This airflow, referred
to as laminar airflow, is
responsible for carrying
away paint overspray
during the refinish process,
and air movement during
paint curing.
Lighting: Another key element is bright, shadow-free lighting
throughout the booth. GFS utilizes T-8, color-corrected light
fixtures, in the proper quantity and correct location. This
creates an environment that allows for proper color match
and paint flow identification.
Q.What is a pressurized paint booth, and what
are the benefits of pressuring a booth?
A. The term pressurized refers to the amount of air inside the
booth vs. the amount of air outside the booth. When properly
balanced, the booth should be slightly positive, meaning that
the amount of air flowing into the booth is slightly greater than
the amount of air that is allowed to leave. The advantage is
that positive pressure keeps unwanted dirt and debris from
entering the booth. Any leaks in the seals or joints are going
out, not in, thus providing a cleaner paint environment.
Q.What is temperature rise? And why is it important?
A. Temperature rise is the discharge air temperature from the
unit, above the ambient outside air temperature. For example,
if a facility is located in an area where the winter low
temperature is -10° F and the desired booth temperature is
70° F, a unit with a 90° rise would provide 80° process air
with -10° F outside air.
The temperature rise is a very important factor when selecting
an air replacement unit. If you receive a quote that does
not show a temperature rise on the air replacement unit,
encourage your supplier to provide that information to you.
Q.What does GFS recommend for a cure
temperature?
A. When selecting an air replacement unit, it is recommended
that you attain the proper information to ensure the air
replacement unit can reach the desired curing temperature.
GFS also suggests contacting your paint distributor for the
recommended cure temperature for the paint you use.
Q.How long does it take for delivery after you
order the spray booth?
A. Once the payment method is
accepted, it normally takes
between 7-10 weeks for you
to receive your spray booth.
All GFS booths are made
to order. Your booth will
be built specifically to your
specifications.
Q.What if a standard booth needs modifications?
A. GFS understands that there will be instances where shop layout, vehicle size and other factors may require a spray booth to be
custom engineered. In these situations, GFS' staff of engineers and drafters will utilize modeling software to create a parametric
product model of the custom engineered booth. These programs also allow GFS to check fit, finish and function from a digital
prototype.
Bridge Plenum
Height - The height of the booth is determined by the overall
height of the largest object plus two feet clearance. Ample room
should be allowed for the finisher to spray the top and bottom of
the object.
Depth - Working depth should be sufficient for the object to be
within the enclosure plus 3 feet clearance at the rear
(from the filters).
Height
Width - To determine the necessary width, measure the width
of the largest object to be painted and add 5 feet to allow for
access to the sides of the object.
