No more chips: Paint refinishing, The way it use to be

In today’s fast-paced world where things are expected on-demand, it’s becoming difficult to get quality by qualified professionals. At GP, our focus is truly on the workmanship and doing everything in a manner that withstands test of time. Our clients demand perfection…it’s in our name

After a few short years, this Porsche 911, had some wear-and-tear that client was tired of looking at. He recently acquired this pre-owned Targa, and the front bumper had always bothered him. So, the orderlies went to work and the journey began

Repairing properly takes more effort than quick insurance jobs done by most body shops today; even the fancy ones. A quality repair need passion, time, and expertise; it cannot be rushed

Careful disassembly and cataloging all parts is the crucial first step in our meticulous process. Achieving a flawless color match without blending into surrounding panels is where the true workmanship shines, separating the elite from the rest. While many opt for the simpler "panel blend" method to streamline color matching and reduce costs, it comes at the price of altering original panels that were once pristine

Once we have the perfect color, the panel is skillfully prepped, painted, clearcoat applied, and initial sanding and polishing is completed. At this point, the paint shop has done all they can do, now it’s the orderlies at GP taking the batton and finishing up the last leg

The panel is meticulously inspected and any further refining by sanding, compounding, and polishing is performed with utmost care and attention to detail. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a finish that rivals the precision of the factory, enhancing aspects like color, clarity, and brilliance wherever necessary. The level of repair is executed so flawlessly that it remains undetectable, even to the most discerning eye

A lot goes behind-the-scenes as well. We deep-clean areas that are not normally accessed, ensuring that every part of the car is perfected, even if it goes unseen. This meticulous attention to detail stems from our unwavering passion for excellence and our commitment to doing things the “GP” way

After the refinishing process is completed, we address the final details, reset any sensor calibration or fault codes using our cutting-edge diagnostic tool, and finally, the vehicle is returned to the client in a condition that surpasses even its original state

This exceptional level of service is a rarity in the automotive industry, and we believe that our clients deserve nothing but the finest. We take immense pride in presenting this unparalleled service as part of our comprehensive range of offerings
