OUR
CUSTOM PAINT IS
UNRIVALED

Quality

We can do more than just claim to have high quality paint. We have the documentation to back it up. Our products are tested to strict standards based on chemistry and process. Our custom paint jobs are built to last; on science instead of hope.

Artists

We are artists and craftsman. Our painters are solid on the fundamentals and our artists are skilled at design. With over a century of cumulative experience, we understand the synergy between paint and art.

Facility

With 60,000 square feet housing some of the finest equipment in the industry of refinish painting, we are invested in our customer’s products. Second place is not an option.

Standardization

Figure out how to do it correctly, then do it again. Paint is a science, and we choose to treat it that way. With our ISO 9001:2015 certification and regular third-party audits, we ensure that our processes are systematic and standardized.

Technology

7 computer-controlled spray booths, 4 mixing rooms, modern short-wave infrared curing, dry atomizing air, redundant filtration, 5 flatbed plotters, spectrophotometer color reading, and standardized lighting are just a few. You will not find these in most paint shops.

Culture

We foster a culture centered on continuous improvement and a pursuit of excellence. Our genuine care for our team is reflected in our commitment to their growth. The atmosphere we cultivate nurtures creativity and celebrates achievement. Our culture embodies the principles of responsibility, teamwork, and mutual respect.
