Overview
Paint Work for Covington Trucks and SUVs
Covington has been the parish seat since 1829 and keeps a historic district on the National Register, so it is a town that notices finish. Paint work here is preparation first: the color is the easy part.
Paint is mostly preparation. Panels come back to a sound surface, the color is matched and laid in a booth, and the clear coat is what keeps it looking new. Full respray, a color change, stripes or a graphics package: Covington customers see the spray-out card before anything is committed.
Every custom paint job here starts the same way: we look at the vehicle, agree what it needs, and put a price and a timeline in writing before anything is touched. You get updates while it is with us and the final say on every part that goes on. Covington customers book by phone or by sending photographs, and the shop is in New Orleans.

Testimonials
What Our Customers Have To Say
I worked with Big Easy Custom Cars on a full interior upholstery upgrade, and they really delivered. The stitching, the material, the fit, everything looks clean and professionally done. It completely changed the feel of the car.
Monique R. Interior · Upholstery
I brought my Camaro in for custom paint and graphics, and I couldn't stop smiling when I saw it finished. The color depth and detail in the design came out even better than I pictured. People ask me about it everywhere I go now. The team really nailed the vision.
Tyler B. Camaro · Paint & Graphics
My interior was outdated, so I had them redo the upholstery. The new stitching and materials make the whole cabin feel premium now. It honestly feels like I'm driving a different vehicle. Super happy with how it turned out.
