Hand Painted Lettering
All lettering jobs will be indidually designed with a composite design image with your vehicle, storefront, or substrate provided for your approval. You'll see what you will get before any work is started.
Vintage Reverse 24kt Gold Gilded Glass Signs
All work is done on the backside, in reverse, of the glass sign or window. This means it is protected from the elements and cleaning.
The glass now becomes a colored mirror of sorts and becomes a brilliant and beautiful piece of artwork that last for years to come.
Custom Pinstriping
This is where it all started for me and is/was my first love of all the work I do.
Over 60 Years Experience
I was painting and pinstriping motorcyles at the age of 12 in my parents garage in 1966. After I graduated High School I attended college while working at/for body shops and pinstriping on weekends. I finally opened my own shop, Paintin' Place Auto Body, in 1978. I sold that business in 1980 so I could do mobile pinstriping esclusively. I still did some custom painting as old habits die hard.
My old body shop is still going strong in Westlake, CA to this day.
