Auto painting and refinishing in Bellingham

PPG paint, OEM color matching, and seamless blending, applied in our paint booth. From a single scratched panel to a complete refinish.

Paint that matches, and lasts

Matching paint is the hardest part of bodywork to get right. Factory colors vary by batch, and sun and weather change them over time. We use PPG paint and OEM color formulas, adjust to your vehicle, and blend into the surrounding panels so the new paint disappears into the old.

All painting is done in our paint booth, which keeps dust out of the finish and lets the paint cure properly.

FAQ

Common questions

What paint do you use?2026-11-04T13:39:48-08:00

We use PPG paint, an industry-leading refinish system, with OEM color formulas for your vehicle.

Can you match an unusual or specialty color?2026-11-04T13:39:48-08:00

Usually, yes. We’ve matched specialty fleet colors, including a Forest Service green work truck. Bring it by and we’ll take a look.

Why paint the panel next to the repair?2026-11-04T13:39:48-08:00

Blending into the adjacent panel avoids a visible line between new and old paint. It’s the difference between a repair you can spot and one you can’t.

Do you paint parts I bring in?2026-11-04T13:39:49-08:00

Often, yes, for example a new grille or mirror cover painted to match. Call us with the part and vehicle details.
