Pud's Paint/Fab & Collision

09/03/2026

FB memories said we painted this car 15yrs ago today. Car was freshly painted by another local shop and was originally orange, the paint started coming off in spots before the car could be put together and the other shop wouldn’t stand behind it. Car came to us and we stripped the paint off down to the bodywork. Corrected the bodywork and sprayed it yellow this time around and It got some black z-28 stripes later.

Nova we just finished up and sent home to finish being built and buffed. We bodyworked the car, replaced the doors after a failed kindigit door handle install warped them pretty bad. Redid the handles, addressed some rust around the back glass smoothed the firewall and then spray the car in Revolt Energy blue candy pearl over a black base. Under the hood we sprayed it body color and finished it in a satin clear for nice lil contrast.

PigTrail Harley asked us if we thought we could paint a few bikes for them after seeing a bike we did last year. so we called our good friend Brandon McCoy to come over to collaborate and brainstorm some graphics and colors. After some discussion He laid out some graphics for us to start back masking and spraying. Once everything was sprayed he came in and did some shading and pinstriping to finish everything off before we buried everything in layers of clear and buffed slick to a glass like finish. The Bikes turned out nice and hopefully this is the start of a steady stream of bikes for us to collaborate on. It’s always a good time and badass end result when we can collaborate on some projects

Boats…. You bet. We have fixed several boats over the years. Wanting to freshen up that faded gelcoat or add some custom touches to your boat? We can handle it. Want something completely custom? We would absolutely love to help out and give you something truly custom and unique. This particular boat came in with a couple areas needing some repair. After the repairs were done the customer let us have a lil fun so we called our tape specialist Brandon to come out and we put some classic flames on this Scarab to set it apart from the rest.

This salty lil ChevyII came in with some light hail damage after getting caught out in a storm. We wrote an estimate and argued with insurance alil before we came to an agreement. Well, once we started the repairs we quickly realized this car had some underlying demons. As we started sanding the areas of repair the paint started rolling off like a fruit roll up. By this point we were knee deep in it and nothing to do but take the butt whoopin and fix it correctly so we stopped and stripped the entire car to ensure our paint wouldn’t come off. We removed 2 paint jobs off the car like it was butter except for a couple areas where it was actually stuck good. Moving forward We fixed the damage we created from stripping it as well as the initial damage. Got the whole car in primer, dug out cracked seam sealer and replaced it and painted it Tesla Gray. We camera shot the car as it was 3 different shades of gray to come up with a color. This repair could have been alil better but we took our financial lumps, called it good and moved on as it looked better then when it came in initially and we atleast knew it wasn’t going to fall off now and it’s a sweet looking driver.

Don’t forget we do insurance work on new cars as well, it’s not just classics and exotics around here. We even like boats and RV’s. This new Tundra came in needing a new rear door, cab corner, bedside, rocker repair and misc things replaced after getting side swiped. We got it fixed up body wise following OE repair procedures, seam sealed everything and replaced the rockguard along the bottom for a factory look. Once it was ready for paint we matched up the factory black w/blue pearl for a flawless match and nailed the factory orange peel so you’d never know this had any damage. Owner asked us if we could de-badge it while we had it in so we knocked that out as well to help the murdered out look.

This scout II came in with a lil fender and grille damage from a mishap. We were tasked with fixing it and saving the original sticker so We took the fender off and hammered it as best we could, we got it really close in metal but It still has a slight buckle that we couldn’t fix without damaging the sticker. The grill shell we did the best we could but the metal was starting to tear so we called it good. The lower grill/valance we straightened and visually it looked fine after so we didn’t paint it. We finished everything off with a lil patina match paint job so no one could tell anything even happened. Customer was super happy with how it turned out

Our friend and customer dropped off his Porsche GT3RS and wanted to make it a lil
Different than all the other GT3’s. He left it in my hands and trusted us to do what we thought it needed. We ended up painting 38 different pieces after we got it all tore down. We smoothed the texture out of all the raw plastic pieces and then color matched some and sprayed the rest satin black. We wanted to leave it looking like a factory GT3 should but add a lil more color here and there while being careful not to make it look gaudy. I feel we achieved the look we were going for and made an already super sexy car look a lil more sexy. Now the car is off to get PPF’d and driven.
