    Paint protection,

    What we would do

    Correct it first.
    Then cover it.

    Correct it

    Whatever is sitting on your paint gets sealed under whatever goes over it. So swirls and marring come out first. On a newer car this is short. It is almost never nothing, and skipping it is how a good finish gets locked under a good coating.

    Mask it

    The car gets masked the way a body shop masks a repaint. Every edge, every gap, every piece of trim. This is the slow part and it is the part that decides whether the finished job looks factory or looks sprayed.

    Spray it

    A clear film goes on in even coats, 8 to 12 mil, in a downdraft paint booth. Not cut from a roll. No seam across the hood, no adhesive on your clearcoat, and it peels off clean years later with the factory paint intact.

    Why local helps

    Drop it. Get a ride home.

    The car stays with us a few days. Correction, masking, spraying, curing, wet sanding and polishing each take real time, and there is no version of this that happens in an afternoon.

    Twenty minutes away means that is one short trip out and one short trip back, not a day built around a shop. That is the whole advantage of using somebody close for work that is not quick.

    Frequently asked questions.

    What does paint protection cost?

    It depends on coverage, how much correction the paint needs first, and how complex the panels are. A front end sits well below a full car. Our pricing is published so you can see the range before you drive over.

    How far is the shop from Phoenixville?

    About 12 miles, roughly 20 minutes up 23 and 724. We are at 449 B Old Reading Pike, Stowe, PA 19464, open Mon–Fri 8:00–6:00.

    Do I need an appointment to get a look?

    No. For the actual work yes, since the car is with us a few days. But to have someone walk your paint in good light and tell you what it needs, just come by during business hours.

    My car is a few years old. Is it worth it?

    Depends what is already there, which is why the walk-around matters. Protection stops new damage, it does not undo old damage. We will correct what corrects, tell you plainly what will not, and you can decide from there.

    Can you change the color?

    Yes. Over 274 colors in gloss, satin, or matte. It sprays on and peels off, so you can run something different and go back to factory before you sell.
