About Us

I began a career in automotive repair and refinishing in the late 1970's and after thirty plus years retired from the valley and automotive refinishing. For the last fifteen years my focus had been on custom hotrods and motorcycles, as demanding as enjoyable. Color matching and custom paint appeals to my creative side and customer interaction proved pivotal for a successful project, these are values I still hold today. Customers vision of a project combined with an understanding of personal creative taste make an inspired and fun experience. Creativity, improvisation and experience with color, texture and visual interest were the mainstay of the last fifteen years of custom work and are now the mainstay of this new endeavor. I hope we can work together on any project you are contemplating, large or small.

The creative process is a much from my customer as it is from me, understanding the personality, likes and dislikes visual and texture preferences. The time it takes to really understand the customer pays off exponentially when the project is delivered and the customer lights up with delight This is the "wow" moment, perhaps more for me than the customer.
