Custom Auto Paint in Newport, New York

1 min read

Custom paint is where the shop name came from. It is also the work that gets planned in a conversation rather than quoted off a list, because what people mean by custom varies enormously.

Bring what is in your head

Photographs, a color chip, a bike tank you liked, a truck you saw at a show. Anything concrete beats a description. We will spray sample cards and look at them outdoors, because a color under shop lighting and the same color under a grey Central New York sky are two different colors.

Candies, pearls, flake, and multi-stage finishes all shift with the angle you view them from and with how heavily they are laid down. Seeing a card is the only way to know.

Doing it properly

A color change that stops at the outer skin announces itself the first time a door opens. Done right it means real disassembly: jambs, hood underside, hatch openings, the areas behind covers. That is where the hours go and it is what separates a custom job from a cheap respray.

Trucks, cars, and one-offs

Plough trucks and work trucks that owners want looking sharp. Project vehicles. Show trucks. Bikes and small parts where the finish gets inspected from a foot away.

Timelines are honest here

Custom work occupies the booth and this is a one-man auto body shop, so it gets scheduled around collision jobs rather than squeezed between them. Winter is often the easiest time to book. You will get a real timeline, not an optimistic one.
