A painter's standard, built over fourteen years.
I started in the automotive industry about fourteen years ago, straight out of high school, detailing and correcting paint at a collision shop before moving up to the booth. I have been painting cars since the summer of 2016.
The difference is in the time and attention. Panels are made straight and repairs verified before priming, and my preppers double and triple check their work before a car moves to the next step. I was the first painter in the Pacific Northwest to work in Glasurit 100 Line, and I am among the most experienced with it in the region.
The path.
- 2012
Detailing & correction
I started at a collision shop out of high school, detailing and learning paint correction, buffing, and polishing.
- 2013
Paint prepper
I moved up to the paint shop and spent three years prepping panels and repairs to standard.
- 2016
Behind the gun
I started painting cars at 23, and I have refinished ever since.
- Now
Running the booth
I lead a high-end paint shop and its preppers, and I was the first in the PNW to use Glasurit 100 Line.
What I do.
Collision repair
From small fender benders to major damage. Panels straightened and repaired correctly before a drop of primer goes on.
Color matching & custom color
Factory colors matched by hand, or a custom color made from scratch, for a seamless, invisible blend.
Full restoration
Complete refinishing that brings a car back better than it left the factory.
Paint correction
Buffing and polishing that pull out depth, clarity, and a clean, even reflection.
From bare panel to finished car.
Every car moves through the same controlled sequence, and nothing advances until the step before it is right. This classic Porsche 911 shows it end to end.
Preparation
Panels made straight and every repair verified before a drop of primer goes on.
Application
Color laid in controlled conditions, in Glasurit 100 Line, for even coverage and true depth.
Finish
Buffed, polished, and checked under proper light to an OEM standard or better before delivery.
Finished in Glasurit 100 Line.
I was the first painter in the Pacific Northwest to work in Glasurit 100 Line, BASF's premium waterborne refinish system, and I am among the most experienced with it in the region. It is the class of system trusted for factory-level and high-end refinishing.
