PREVENTION is always better than CURE!!!!

Factory paint is still the far best !!!! Don't Repaint Panels to Cover Scratches!! Don't touch the paint! as collectors wants to do a restoration he's going to do it his way and not our attempts to repair!!

many painter tries to achieve a factory original paint job but, as it is baked under around 1,500 degrees to a rock hard finish.


Cars Collectors will pay you far above book value for your car the authenticity of your ride

Have a great weekend
