A customer-first plan

Custom paint gives cars and trucks a distinctive color, effect, or finish. We begin with your vision and build a preparation and refinishing plan around the vehicle. Every visit begins with an assessment and a clear discussion of the next steps. As an independent auto body shop, Backwoods Customs works for you, not an insurance company's DRP priorities.

What to expect

Review the situation

We inspect the vehicle or project, explain the work involved, and provide a practical plan before moving forward.

Coordinate the details

If an insurance claim is involved, we can provide estimates and documentation while keeping you informed. You remain free to choose the collision repair shop you trust.

Check the completed work

Before pickup, Chris completes a final review and walks you through the result.
