Custom Match Professionals!
Vehicle Painting in St. Marys, OH
Often when a vehicle needs repair, it also needs paintwork. If your vehicle’s paint was scratched from a shopping cart or during an accident, T & P Auto Body offers color matching to restore your vehicle’s paint to its original color. We typically use Axalta Coating Systems which is a top-of-the-line paint product. Your vehicle will look good as new when we are finished!
Custom Paint Options
Paintless Dent Repair
We offer a more cost-effective solution for removing those small dents and dings. This is a great option for minor, unsightly damage caused by mother nature, a shopping cart, or any other unexpected bumps in the road. Paintless dent repair is when a technician gets behind the dent and slowly works it back into place. There is no sanding or painting involved, keeping it cheaper and easier. It doesn’t work if the metal is scratched, the dent is near the edge of a panel, or the dented area has had bodywork done before.
Pinstriping
If you’d like to add a bit of flair to your vehicle, a pinstripe could do the trick! A pinstripe is a thin application of paint that is added as decoration to a vehicle. Although we do not add graphics to vehicles, we can definitely paint on pinstripes!

Do we fix rust?
Yes, we do. Rust can be a major concern on your vehicle. Although rust on visible panels is mainly surface level, rust on the undercarriage can lead to mechanical issues.
Surface Rust: Surface rust is the simplest to repair since it hasn’t yet caused major degradation of the metal. You’ll typically find surface rust forming on small scratches or rock chips. Surface rust is generally sanded off. Once removed, we apply paint and a clear coat to help prevent the rust from returning.
Penetrating and Scale Rust: Deeper rust issues can be a bit more challenging. Penetrating rust refers to the type of rust that has already eaten through the metal. Scale rust is rust that has gotten into the structure of the metal but has not eaten completely through. We offer a few options to correct this by patching or replacing the affected area on the vehicle. We will then paint and add a clear coat to the vehicle to help prevent the rust from returning. Depending on the severity, fixing rust can become a very time-consuming and costly repair. We are happy to discuss the many options with you and answer any questions you may have.
