WHY is phelps refinishing closing?

After over two decades as a Fuji Spray authorized distributor, selling no other brand of system or spray gun, and carrying a full inventory of parts and accessories — Roger Phelps is no longer able to work.

His wife, the two longtime assistants in Texas, and website consultant Cathy Morgan have been keeping orders fulfilled since Roger became unable to work around November 20 — with the hope that Roger would recover. However, Roger isn’t recovering. So he and his wife, Deni Holm Phelps, have made the hard decision on Sunday, January 12, to close the business.

All orders already placed before midnight, January 12, 2025 are being fulfilled.

we are still taking orders for a closeout half-price sale for 3 accessories:

The inventory count at the Texas warehouse was wrong — fewer Worthy Strainers, many more Worthy Mini-Strainers. So as of January 16, 3:43 PM ET — we still have 22 10-packs of the Mini-Strainers available.

Orders for these closeout items must be made by January 29, 2025, and will be shipped from the Texas warehouse by USPS.

Quantities are limited, so please order early. By late afternoon January 15, we’re already almost sold out.

You may use your Phelps Gift Card balances to pay for these, noting that these do not cover shipping costs. Of course shipping is free if your order of these closeout accessories totals $50 or more.

NO RETURNS!

we will take care of unresolved issues.

These might include:

  • Pending refunds

  • Equipment sent in for cleaning or repair that hasn’t been returned to you

  • Unused discounts

  • Unused gift card balance

We’re doing our best to resolve these issues from our end, but we might miss something. So please feel free to reach out with questions and concerns, by emailing the usual address: Roger@PhelpsRefinishing.com.

Where do we recommend you shop?

We recommend that you try Paint Sprayers Plus, another relatively small authorized Fuji Spray distributor. Owner Jason Gilbert offers email and phone advice on what to buy, and sometimes offers discount codes at checkout.

I am hoping that Paint Sprayers Plus will pick up where Roger left off, and begin to sell 3M PPS 2.0 products for HVLP spray guns. I’ll do my best to help him get started with this.

FUJI SPRAY CAN refer you to other distributors

You can also look for authorized distributors by browsing the Fuji Spray “Where to Buy” page of authorized distributors. This page also has links for foreign sales.

Some distributors on the list sell mainly paint or other finishes, rather than Fuji Spray equipment and parts. So it will take some extra effort to find some to try.

However, you can always email Fuji Spray Sales — sales@fujispray.com — for help locating a distributor, or call Fuji Spray at 1-800-650-0930.

Be careful about special discounts and other ploys to get your business.
