PREVENTION is always better than CURE!!!! by all means find a proper parking & dont park at our convenience at others inconveniences!! otherwise `the Teach you a lesson` * will abuse your investment



Factory paint is still the far best !!!! Don`t Repaint Panels to Cover Scratches!! Don`t touch the paint! as collectors wants to do a restoration he`s going to do it his way and not our attempts to repair!!



many painter tries to achieve a factory original paint job but, as factory baked under around 300-400 degrees to a rock hard finish. he car goes through the painting and baking process without any of the rubber, plastic, and cloth components installed. This is why they can expose the car and it`s fresh paint to such high temperatures. These high temperatures and special paints used at the factory level insures the paint is fully cured by the time the car is completely assembled.





Cars Collectors will pay you far above book value for your car the authenticity of your ride



Have a great weekend

Nice save. Too bad cars don`t have built in weaponized defense systems, especially with the cost of some of these newer vehicles out today.
