We use PPG, House of Kolor & ALSA paints. All of our finishes are base coat/clear coat unless the customer specifies otherwise. We paint in a Custom Designed Cross-Flow paint booth which eliminates nearly all the contaminates in the air such as dust & trash that inevitably gets into many paint jobs.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have and we’ll be more than happy to answer them for you.
