Summary
With 25 years of experience in custom automotive paint, my passion for this work drives me to constantly strive for improvement. From working on custom classic hot rods to painting multi-layer candy flakes on low riders, I have honed my skills in painting and transforming vehicles into works of art. My understanding both solvent and water base paint allows me to precisely color match all types of metallic, solid, pearls, candies, and matte finishes.
