Vintage Vehicle Paint Restoration and Detailing

If you have a vintage car, and the paint is intact without large missing/burned-through areas or any cracking, we can almost certainly save it from a repaint.  The minimum benefit is that you buy yourself literal years before a full respray.

The cultural divide between, "all original," and, "recently repainted," has narrowed. We happily accommodate both philosophies. You give us an idea of what you want, and we make it happen. 

While we cannot provide precise prices until we inspect the vehicle and discuss your desired results, we can offer two anecdotes: 

A customer was gifted a car that was stored outside for 15 years.  The paint was dirty, very faded and oxidized, but was fully intact.  The preferred outcome was it "to be good enough to drive around in."

After spending two hours washing the car thoroughly, we were confident we could restore all of the paint.  We employ a truly unique process using a specific Nasiol compound that avoids unnecessary sanding, resulting in significant time and, therefore, cost savings.  

We finished up with a finer Nasiol compound to refine the finish to our razor sharp standard. The final bill was $3000 and included restoring the removable hardtop and cleaning the soft top.  Plus, a 3-year Nasiol ZR53 ceramic coating was applied.  No interior detailing was performed.

Another example was a customer looking to sell a Mercedes 300SL Roadster.  As the value of the vehicle was over $1 million at the time, the customer wanted us to detail every part of the car, including the tube frame, the underside of the vehicle, paint correcting the wheel wells, hub caps, et al. 

For a project this intense, we charged our hourly rate of $105 per man-hour.

The final result was exceptional. The customer was so enamored with the 300SL Roadster after its detail that it was driven for almost another year before selling.  Total cost was $6000, which included a 5-year Nasiol ceramic coating to all painted surfaces, plus full interior fabric, leather, and metal nano coatings.

Ultimately, Vintage Vehicles can vary from about $1000 up to $6000, depending on the work requested/required.
