Different Services Offered

  • Airbrush Art

  • Airbrush graphics on virtually any surface or structure. Automotive surfaces, metal, wood, fiberglass, canvas, leather, or textiles. Not all surfaces may include or need a clear coat, but we offer extreme high gloss (mirror) finishes as well as satin or matte finishes depending on the preference of the customer or what’s best for the project. We use both show quality automotive clear coat and architectural clear coats depending upon the project. We offer paint schemes that may include metallics, pearls, or candies and we can match any existing automotive color. We can work in both automotive urethane base coat or water-borne (acrylic) airbrush specific paints.

  • Truck and Equipment Lettering

  • Vinyl and/or painted lettering on company vehicles or heavy equipment. We do not do vinyl wraps. We offer a variety of styles and techniques that combine both vinyl, paint and airbrush to give unique results. Combining the artistry of portraiture alongside vinyl and/or hand lettering can give your brand, logo, or design that pop to stand out from the rest, get noticed, and look exquisite an extremely long time.

  • Signs

  • Custom signs of any shape, structure, or location. Indoor or outdoor. We offer both design and installation services. If the customer already has an existing idea or design, we will re-create. Anything from simple custom welcome signs (shown above) to property signs, business signs, placards, A-frame store front signs, or banners. We offer PVC or wooden carved signs in any style or shape. We do not do any interior lit or electrical signage. We also do not offer gold leafing at this time.

  • Limited Bodywork and Dent Repair

  • We will tackle limited (minor) panel or body repair to automotive metal surfaces. We do not repair fiberglass panels. Small dents, dings and scratches we will remove prior to a mural or paint job. We will determine what we can fix and what we can’t fix prior to the start of any project. The use of epoxy and/or etching and filler primers may need to be used for the proper repair of any panels. On most motorcycle tanks usually the need for some body filler is also common depending on the location or severity of the repair.
