Overview
Paint Work for Slidell Trucks and SUVs
Olde Towne Slidell has seventeen murals and a habit of looking at what is parked on the street. Paint work that holds up there starts with panel preparation and a clear coat picked for Louisiana weather.
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: Slidell 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. Slidell customers book by phone or by sending photographs, and the shop is in New Orleans.

Testimonials
What Our Customers Have To Say
I wanted more performance out of my truck, so I went in for engine tuning and upgrades. The throttle response feels sharper, and it pulls stronger than before. They explained what they were doing and didn't make it overly complicated.
Darren S. Truck · Engine Tuning
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
I decided to add a body kit and a few exterior modifications just to give my car a more aggressive look. The install was solid, and everything lines up perfectly. It looks factory, not thrown together.
