The Art of Paint Restoration — Bringing Classic Colors Back to Life
🎨 Restoring Beauty and Authenticity
A muscle car’s paint tells its story—its age, its battles, and its pride. Restoring that finish takes more than just a new coat of color—it takes craftsmanship, patience, and an understanding of the car’s original character.
🧽 1. Stripping and Surface Prep
Proper preparation is everything. Old paint, rust, and filler must be carefully removed before new primer and paint can adhere perfectly.
🪶 2. Matching Factory-Correct Colors
We use factory color codes or modern equivalents to recreate the exact shades used decades ago. Whether it’s Hugger Orange or Plum Crazy Purple, authenticity is key.
💦 3. Applying Layers with Precision
Multiple layers of primer, color, and clear coat give that deep, glass-like finish. Each layer is sanded and polished to perfection for long-lasting brilliance.
🔍 4. Detailing and Final Touches
From chrome trim polishing to emblem placement, the finishing details bring the restoration to life. These subtle elements separate good work from great craftsmanship.
