Body and paint restoration services
Chase Collision provides top quality paint and body work restoration on vintage / antique vehicles. We are commited to quality and customer satisfaction with every classic car project we undertake.
We use top quality PPG products and our painters are fully certified. A paint job is only as good as the surface it is painted over so most projects go through a lengthy process to ensure a flawless paintjob from the bottom up.
