Precision Finishing. Engineered for Perfection.

When your project needs expert finishing, Chapter 2 is your “Inside” Outsource solution. Since 1973, we have been a trusted partner to manufacturers, starting as a tool and die shop and expanding to offer a comprehensive range of contract manufacturing capabilities, including our state-of-the-art wet painting facility. With a focus on medium to large-sized components, we paint and finish a wide range of materials to meet the diverse needs of your industrial applications.

Our team can pre-finish, prime, coat, and bake your fiberglass, steel, aluminum, or plastic components up to 40 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 9 feet tall. We ensure a superior finish with our detailed pre-finishing services.

For a flawless finish, we use a variety of high-quality primers and coatings, such as two-component and urethane primers, along with top coats, enamel, CARC, and waterborne coatings.

Versatile Painting Capabilities for Your Project

Our services are designed to accommodate a variety of materials and sizes to suit your specific project needs. Whether you need a new component painted in our facility or have existing equipment that requires refinishing, we handle it all with the highest level of quality and efficiency. We specialize in painting and finishing fiberglass, steel, aluminum & plastic.

Our team is dedicated to delivering the best possible finish for your parts, which is why we offer a comprehensive set of pre-finishing services to ensure a perfect surface every time. These include using our:

  • GFS Dust Collection Booth for safe and controlled surface preparation.
  • Renegade Parts Washing System for top-quality, heavy-duty cleaning.
  • Wedge Clamp System Anti-Static Guns to remove static and prevent surface imperfections.
  • Custom Masking: Increases the accuracy and efficiency of a painting operation by employing masks cut into custom shapes and sizes
  • Abrasive Blasting: Uses abrasive materials such as sand or beads to remove surface flaws, old paint, rust, and other imperfections from the workpiece
  • Grinding Welds: Employs a grinder to remove deep scratches and grinding marks and smooth edges to create an even surface
  • Smoothing of Rough Castings: Sands and files coarse material around the edges of rough castings to achieve an unblemished surface

We offer a full range of coatings to meet your specifications, from standard primers to specialized Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC).
