Auto Paint & Refinishing

The difference between a good repair and a great one is the finish. Kelly's refinishes your vehicle in a professional downdraft booth with computerized color matching — so the repair disappears and your car looks factory-fresh from every angle.

Refinishing Done Right

A Finish You Can't Tell Was Ever Touched

Matching modern automotive paint is a science. Factory colors shift with metallic flake, pearl coats, angle and age — which is why a "close" match still stands out in the sun. Kelly's pulls your vehicle's factory paint code, then uses computerized color formulation and test spray-outs to dial in the exact shade before a drop ever touches your car.

We prep, prime and refinish in a heated, filtered downdraft booth that keeps dust and contaminants out of the finish, then blend into adjacent panels so there's no visible edge. The result is a smooth, durable, showroom-quality finish that protects your vehicle and holds its value.

Refinishing is the final step of our collision repair and bumper repair — or a standalone service for faded, scratched or damaged paint.

What We Handle

Computerized Color Matching

We read your factory paint code and use spectral color matching to formulate the exact shade — metallics, pearls and tri-coats included — so the new paint disappears into the old.

Scratch, Scuff & Chip Repair

Key scratches, parking-lot scuffs and rock chips are sanded, filled, primed and refinished so they vanish — restoring both looks and corrosion protection.

Panel Blending

Rather than stopping at a hard panel edge, we blend the new color into adjacent panels — eliminating any visible transition line and delivering a seamless result.

Clear Coat & UV Protection

A quality clear coat locks in gloss and shields your color from Southern California sun, road grime and oxidation — so the finish stays bright for years.

Full & Partial Repaints

Whether it's a single panel or a complete color change, we deliver an even, professional finish with proper prep and booth-cured results.

Corrosion Protection

Proper primers, sealers and coatings guard bare metal and repaired areas against rust — critical after any bodywork or paint repair.

Why It Lasts

Prep Is 90% of a Great Paint Job

A finish is only as good as the surface beneath it. Our technicians meticulously sand, fill, prime and mask before any color goes on — because shortcuts show up as orange peel, runs and premature failure.

Every refinish is cured in a controlled, heated environment and inspected under proper lighting before it leaves the shop. It's why our paintwork is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
