From Passion to Profession

Founded in 2008 by John F. Hannukaine, our company began as a small garage operation fueled by an unwavering passion for automotive excellence. What started as weekend projects for friends and family quickly evolved into Washington's most trusted name in custom auto painting and restoration.

John's background in industrial coating technology combined with his love for classic automobiles created the perfect foundation for exceptional craftsmanship. Over the years, we've grown from a one-man operation to a team of skilled artisans, each bringing unique expertise to every project.

Today, we serve customers throughout Washington and beyond, specializing in everything from showroom-quality restorations to eye-catching custom designs. Our commitment remains unchanged: delivering superior results that exceed expectations while treating every vehicle as if it were our own.
