For classics that get driven
A lot of classic car owners are stuck between two bad options. A collision shop that won't take the car, or a restoration shop quoting more than the car is worth. A big part of our customer base is classic car owners who want a solid, good-looking overall paint job without breaking the bank. Weekend cruisers, project cars and inherited cars that deserve better than faded paint.
What goes into it
- An honest look first. At the free estimate we look over the body with you: dents, filler from old repairs, and rust.
- Rust and bodywork quoted separately. Paint over rust doesn't last. If the car needs metal work first, it's its own line on the estimate so you can see where the money goes.
- Original color or a new one. Match the factory color from its paint code, or change it. Changing color costs more because door jambs and openings get painted too.
- Sherwin-Williams paint, with every Sherwin-Williams automotive line available.
- Want it to stand out? Go further with House of Kolor Kandy custom paint.
Where we draw the line
We aim for a classic that looks great on the road and at the local car show, at a fair price. We're not a concours restoration shop: we don't strip cars to bare shells or rebuild them panel by panel. If that's what your car needs, we'll tell you at the estimate.
For paint we remove and refit basic trim, bumpers, emblems and door handles. Older parts can be brittle or hard to replace, so we can't guarantee original parts through removal. We'll point out anything fragile before we start.
Questions people ask
Do you work on classic cars at all?
Yes. Classic car owners are a big part of our customer base.
Can you match my car's original color?
Usually, from the paint code on the car or in its records. For rare or discontinued colors, bring the car in and we'll look at it together.
Can I spread the cost?
Financing is available through Snap Finance. Ask at your estimate.
