All paintwork we perform is basecoat and clearcoat only. This means multiple coats of a color base layer are applied first, followed by multiple coats of a clear protective layer for durability and gloss. The steps below outline the possible tasks involved in a full body and paint job or restoration. Not all steps are required for every vehicle; the condition of the vehicle, customer requests, and budget determine which tasks are performed.

  • Tier 1 – Spot Refinement

Includes localized correction of minor dust nibs or isolated imperfections.
Spot sanding and polishing are performed only where necessary.
Designed for standard production finishes and daily drivers seeking a clean, professional result.
 

  • Tier 2 – Full Wet Sand & Polish

Includes full vehicle wet sanding from 1500–5000 grit.
Complete compound and polish process to enhance gloss depth and reduce surface texture.
Provides a noticeably smoother and more refined finish compared to a standard production finish.
 

  • Tier 3 – Advanced Show-Level Refinement

Includes additional clearcoat application for increased film build.
Extended surface refinement starting at 800-1000 grit through 8000 grit.
Full compound and multi-stage polish process for maximum clarity and depth.
