Award-winning paint, body, and fab
Nationally recognized, multi award-winning work in paint, body, and custom metal fabrication. Same process on a show car or a daily driver.

Built for the Jersey Shore
Brine, road salt, and coastal air attack rails, floors, and rockers. We cut to clean metal, weld repair sections, then rust-inhibit and undercoat.
- Color match
Paint code, spray-out, blend
We pull the OEM paint code, mix in-house, shoot a spray-out card, and blend into adjacent panels so the repair does not read as a respray.

How a job runs
From estimate to delivery.
Restoration, custom, and collision jobs follow the same path in the shop. Insurance work uses this sequence too; we handle the carrier when the job is a claim.
Inspect & estimate
Free estimateCar in the bay or photos if you cannot drive it. We scope metal, structure, and finish, then write a line-item estimate before tear-down.
Photo & teardown notes
Before tear-downDocument the car as it sits. Panels, underbody, and structure get noted so hidden rust or prior work is on the sheet before welders start.
Metal, frame & body
In-houseSection and weld, frame measure and pull if needed, patch panels, filler work, and block-sand. Primer only after the metal and gaps are right.
Seal, prime & refinish
HOK & PPGEpoxy or sealer as the job needs, then House of Kolor or PPG in the downdraft booth. OEM match or custom color, blend, clear, and buff.
Reassemble & deliver
At pickupReassembly, alignment check on panels, final detail, and walk-through at pickup. Refinish warranty paperwork goes with the keys.
