BAPS Auto Paints & Supply

BAPS Auto Paints & Supply BAPS’ mission is to provide customer service to the coatings industry through integrity, knowledge, a R.F. Raymond F. and Robert Berkheimer.

Berkheimer & Sons originated in 1961 as a painting contractor that targeted commercial, industrial, and residential business. Berkheimer, being principal owner had two of his children working for him, Ray W. In 1966 they decided to incorporate, and each own one third, equal shares. In 1977 Raymond retired, leaving his sons the opportunity to purchase his share of the corporation and continue on wi

th the family business. After twelve years of experience, and knowing the physical labor involved in this broad spectrum of the painting business, Ray and Robert started to consider a new avenue of business. Automotive paint was suggested, and Ray and Robert then contacted PPG Industries. PPG then researched RF Berkheimer & Sons and was impressed with the credibility of the company and wanted to invest their products in them, to become a PPG distributor. In February 1979, the York location of BAPS Auto Paint & Supply was originated. That day the phone did ring, once, for one quart of paint to go to Quigley Motor Company in Manchester. Within a few years the automotive paint industry had really started to develop for them, which allowed them to expand and open a Lemoyne location in July 1985, to service the greater Hbg. area, and also a Chamb. location in March 1993. Since then we have been blessed to be able to continue to grow and now have 11 stores spread out from Massachusetts down to Virginia.

The Future of Collision Repair is Here: More Technology, More Opportunity

Did you know that today’s vehicles can contain dozens of cameras, sensors, radar units, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)? Even a minor collision can impact these systems, making proper repair procedures more important than ever.

As vehicles become more advanced, collision centers that invest in training, quality products, and proper repair processes are positioning themselves for long-term success.

This week we brought together many of our Customer Support Specialists from across the company at our Virginia Beach store for some hands-on training.

Led by our Suffolk Store Manager Todd and our Tech Rep Joe, the team got real experience with one-hour dent repairs. From PPE and body filler to sanding, primer, base coat, and clear coat, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work. For many, this was their first time using these tools and techniques, and they crushed it!

We’re incredibly proud of the effort, focus, and willingness to learn that everyone showed throughout the training. It’s exciting to see our team continue to grow their skills and expand their knowledge.

A big thank you to Joe and Todd for sharing their expertise and guiding the team every step of the way. 👏

And another huge thank you to our Regional Operations Managers, Chad and James, for organizing the chaos, making sure everyone was well fed, and planning some fun for the evenings!

Looking forward to the next one!

We’re proud to officially announce the completion of the BAPS conversions across all Ciocca locations!

This has been a journey that started many months ago, and through tireless effort, detailed planning, and true dedication, it turned into a great success. There were definitely a few sleepless nights, some heartburn, and even a couple of IT hurdles along the way—but in the end, the BAPS and PPG team did what we do best… we delivered.

A special thank you goes out to Jon Oestereich, Matt Thomas, Kyler Wood, Lauren Keilholtz, and the Lemoyne team for going above and beyond. From building computer cabinets, driving 26’ trucks, assembling mixing tables on their own time, to organizing toners by T number—your hard work behind the scenes made all the difference.

We truly appreciate everyone who played a role in making this happen. Excited to share the finished product and proud of what this team accomplished together!

Because in our world, it’s more than just paint—it’s precision, protection, and pride in every finish.
Where color meets craftsmanship, and every mix tells a story.
From primer to clear coat, excellence is built layer by layer.
