Same car, before and after paint
More before and after
The RAM door refinished in its factory gray, rust gone and the badge back on.
A metallic blue BMW bumper fresh out of the booth, grilles and lights still wrapped.
Rust gone and the quarter sealed in primer, ready for color.
The same door in wet black gloss, deep enough to mirror the wheel beside it.
Front door and fender back to a smooth factory-looking white.

The new shop
The move, in the order the photos were taken: where the work happened before, the empty building, the first equipment, and the booth in use.
Where the work happened before
Inside the work bay: a blue wagon under the tube lights.
The new building
The side of the new shop, door open on a sunny day. The back of the building, with the paint booth air unit and stack. The front of the new shop, with the truck out front and the booth stack above. The building on a clear day, trees behind and the lot out front. The building and the neighboring units across the lot.
Inside, before move-in
Inside the new place before move-in: an empty break room with a ladder and some leftover fencing. An empty bay waiting for equipment. Another bay, with the roll-up door and power panels in place. The open floor of the new shop before the bays were set up. Old paint-spattered benches left in a side room. The front door of the new shop, propped open on move-in day.
First equipment in
First equipment rolled into the new bay: carts, a 3M cabinet and tools along the wall. The main bay with the first tools and carts moved in. A spray wall with ventilation ducting in one of the rooms.
The new booth in use
Inside the booth: a black bumper cover curing and a clean white room. Masked, primed and under the heat lamp in the new shop.

Auto Body Paint
Color matching and refinishing, from a single blended panel to a full respray, finished so the repair is not the first thing anyone sees.
