PAINT SHOP

Down draft paint booth

Preparing a vehicle for refinishing is one of the most important steps to providing the 'invisible repair'. These specialized paint booths utilize powerful turbo fans to insure the finish is absolutely dust free and use strategically placed fluorescent lighting to provide optimum illumination that creates a shadow free painting area.

Paint Technology

The colors used by auto manufacturers may vary widely on the same models painted with the same color. Variations in shading and coloring depend on if your car was painted at the front end or tail end of an assembly line run of paint. Most new cars today are also painted with "two coat" or "tri-coat" paint processes—where mica, pearl, and metallic materials are applied sequentially in the factory finish. These finishes often vary in appearance based on the angle from which they are viewed. For example, a green metallic paint can appear "teal-colored" when looking at a straight or flat surface such as a hood, but nearly "black" when looking at a rounded surface such as a fender.

We utilize eco-friendly waterborne paint technology.  Waterborne paints have been used for a little over a decade by auto manufacturers in Europe and Asia as a replacement for environmentally harmful solvent based paints.  In fact 84% of new vehicles are painted with waterborne technology at the manufacturing plant today and by 2012 all new vehicles will be refinished with waterborne paints.  By utilizing this technology we provide the best paint finish possible and you can feel great knowing that your autobody repair won't damage our environment.
