Auto Body Repair

I have been painting cars for over 20 years.  When I starting working for DGN Customs, it sparked an interest in me.  I do my own car restoration out of my garage.  I love to take a car and sand it down to perfection, then paint it so it looks beautiful again.  Seeing my customers reaction has been what fuels me.  I love to challenge myself.
