What We Do
Three things, done exceptionally well.
We don't paint daily drivers, fleet vehicles, or production work. We paint vintage cars, and we do three things for them.
-
Full Restoration Paint
From bare metal to final colour sand. Every panel disassembled, prepped, and refinished to factory-correct or custom specifications.
Learn more -
Colour Matching & Restoration
Original colour codes, hand-mixed to match aged samples. We document every formula so it can be matched again decades from now.
Learn more -
Custom & Commissioned Colour
One-off colours, candies, pearls, and metallics. We build the colour with you, then paint it like it was always meant to be there.

Why Choose Us
Built for the long view.
-
Climate-controlled environment
Our booth, prep room, and assembly bays are dust-controlled and temperature-stable year-round. Paint behaves better, and so do the people spraying it.
-
Documented every step
You receive photographs and notes from every stage. Insurance, future buyers, and you — everyone has the record.
-
Lifetime workmanship guarantee
If we did the work and the paint fails because of how we applied it, we make it right. That's been our policy from day one.
Client Words
Owners on what it's like working with us.
-
The finish is simply extraordinary. I've had the car for twenty years and it has never looked this good — not even when it came out of the factory. The colour depth under sunlight has to be seen to be believed.

I was sceptical that anyone could match Plum Crazy accurately — I've seen too many attempts that look orange-purple at best. These guys nailed it. The stripe work is immaculate and the clear is so deep you could swim in it.

Three Aston specialists looked at the finish and couldn't fault the match. That is the highest praise I can give. Communication throughout was excellent, the timeline was honoured, and the handover was an event in itself.

About the Shop
A small shop on purpose.
We take 20 cars per year. That's not a marketing line — it's the number we can do well, given the way we work. Most projects take four to nine months.
Most of our clients have been on a waitlist before they ever dropped off keys. We'd rather you wait and get the car you wanted than rush and get one you didn't.
Tell us about your car.
Whether you have a project ready to start, a colour you've been chasing, or just a question about how we work — we'd like to hear from you.
