GFS has frequently placed a great deal of emphasis on the importance of best practices in the operation and maintenance of paint booths. This resulted in the development of the Finishing Academy, a place for new painters and spray booth operators to learn the mechanics of how booths work, and the essentials needed to produce perfect paint jobs in a contaminant-free environment. It also serves as a refresher for veteran painters looking to brush up on their knowledge of contamination control and proper usage of paint booth equipment. The Finishing Academy currently contains three training modules, titled "Spray Booth Basics," "How to Finish in the Money," and "Building the Perfect Shop."

Ajax, Ontario -- December 1, 2011 -- Athletes warm up before a competition. Motorists know that engine oil becomes thicker in the winter cold.
