Learning About Auto Body And Paint Projects

Hello, I’m Mackenzie. Welcome to my website about auto body and paint. When I bought my first car, the clear coat was peeling off all over the hood and trunk. I decided to research the different types of paint available for automobiles and fell in love with the finishes I found.

I hope you will use the information on my site to gain inspiration for your next auto body and paint project. Thanks.
