State of the Art Paint Booth
You’d be amazed how much paint quality can vary and how large of an effect that can have on your vehicle in just a few short years. A lesser quality paint may look as good as one of high quality initially, but will not hold up in the long run. We are committed to making your vehicle look and drive well for years to come. That is why we invested in our state of the art paint booth and use only Sikkens paints, world renowned as the finest in the industry.
Our state-of-the-art spray booth with a computerized paint mixing room ensures the best color match and highest quality finishes. We use a 1.4 million BTU gas heater to bake finishes creating the most durable finishes possible.
Our painters have years of experience in the paint booth and can work wonders to bring your car back to its original beauty. Choose Gold Standard for long term repair quality.
