Vernon Custom Paint
The finish makes the car. Whether you are looking for a show-quality respray, a period-correct restoration, or a full custom project, we have the facility and expertise in Vernon to deliver a flawless result. We specialize in glass-out painting where every seal is removed to ensure no tape lines and a factory-level finish.
Our color matching process uses the latest spectrophotometer technology combined with manual tinting by eye. This is essential for older vehicles where paint has aged or where you are trying to match an existing custom shade. We work with high-end solvent and waterborne systems to achieve depth, clarity, and durability.
From bare-metal stripping and epoxy priming to multiple stages of clear coat and final cut and buff, we don’t skip steps. Gil’s history as a sign painter means we have a unique eye for layout, pinstriping, and multi-color graphics that most standard body shops simply aren't equipped to handle.
