Auto Painting
Collision repair and refinishing in Portland, Oregon. Family-owned since 1968.
After a collision, your paint should look the way it did before. We match your factory color with precision software, then apply every layer in a controlled sequence—prep, primer, color, clear coat. The result is even, consistent, and built to last. Our paint shop works on collision-damaged vehicles only. No full repaints. No color changes. No airbrushing. We paint only what was damaged and blend the color into the surrounding panels, so the repair isn't noticeable.

The process
Every repair follows the same sequence. Each layer has a purpose.
1 Prepare
We sand the repaired area so the primer has a clean surface to bond to.
2 Prime
Primer fills small imperfections.
Our UV-cured primer sets in under five minutes.
3 Paint
Color goes on in thin, even coats—one to three, depending on the shade.
4 Clear
Clear coat adds gloss and protects against sun, weather, and scratches. Then we bake the finish to cure it.
