The Finish Makes the Build
Great paint is more than color. It’s the final layer that brings every body line, panel gap, and detail together. From classic restorations to high-end restomods, our paint and body team focuses on the preparation and finish that make a build stand apart.
Built Straight Before It’s Built Shiny
A great finish starts underneath the paint. We handle rust repair, panel replacement, body correction, panel gaps, blocking, and preparation so the finished vehicle looks right from every angle not just from ten feet away.
Factory Correct or Completely Custom
Some builds call for the original color. Others need something nobody else has. We work with factory finishes, custom colors, modern paint systems, and complete custom builds to create a finish that fits the vehicle—not just what came out of a catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
From complete restorations to custom finishes, here are some of the questions we hear most often about our paint and bodywork.
What types of vehicles do you paint?
We specialize in classic cars, hot rods, restomods, custom trucks and high-end automotive projects. Every project is evaluated individually so we can determine the right process for the vehicle and the finish you're trying to achieve.
Do you offer complete vehicle paint jobs?
Yes. We handle complete exterior refinishing as well as extensive restoration and custom paint projects. Depending on the build, this can include disassembly, bodywork, panel correction, blocking, primer, paint, clear coat and final finishing.
Can you repair rust and damaged body panels?
Yes. Proper paint starts with proper metal and bodywork. Our team can repair rust, replace damaged panels, correct body lines and prepare the vehicle before the paint process begins.
Can you match an original factory color?
Absolutely. We can work with factory color codes and modern paint systems to recreate original finishes, or help develop a completely custom color specifically for your build.
Do you do custom paint colors?
Yes. Custom color development is one of the most exciting parts of building a unique vehicle. We can help select or develop a finish that works with the vehicle's design, wheels, interior and overall character.
How long does automotive paint and bodywork take?
Every project is different. The timeline depends heavily on the condition of the vehicle, the amount of metal and bodywork required, the paint system and the level of finish being requested. After evaluating your project, we can give you a better understanding of the scope and expected process.
How much does a custom paint job cost?
Pricing varies significantly because no two custom vehicles require the same amount of preparation. Existing paint, rust, previous repairs, panel condition and the desired finish all affect the cost. Contact our team with information about your vehicle and we can discuss the project with you.
Can I bring you a vehicle that is already disassembled?
Potentially, yes. Because every build is different, contact us before bringing the vehicle in. We'll review what has already been completed and determine the best way to move forward with the project.
How do I get started?
Start by contacting Rods N Mods and telling us about your vehicle, its current condition and what you want the finished car to look like. Photos are extremely helpful. From there we can discuss the project and determine the next step.
