Want to know who’s working on your car? Check out our About page to learn more about Ray Harris Paint & Body and our shop’s story.
Classic cars aren’t just transportation—they’re memories on four wheels. Therefore, we treat every build like it matters, because it does. As a result, you get solid metal work, straight body lines, and show-quality paint that looks right everywhere.
Even though we’re a small shop, we take on serious builds with hands-on care. In fact, owners trailer cars to us from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana for honest work and clean finishes. Consequently, you always know your project is getting real attention.
Classic restorations aren’t “quick fixes.” Therefore, we slow down, repair the foundation, and build the finish the right way. As a result, your classic looks correct, drives right, and holds value.
We deliver :
Rust Repair & Metal Work: First, we remove rust and repair weak areas the right way.
Straight Panels & Clean Gaps: Next, we align doors, hood, and panels for factory-style fit.
Quality Primers & Sealers: Then, we prep correctly so the paint stays smooth and stable.
PPG Paint & Color Match: Finally, we refinish with premium PPG for deep, lasting gloss.
For storm-related dents on your classic or daily driver, head to our Hail Damage Repair page to see how we handle Texas hail claims.

Paint is what everyone notices first. Therefore, we match color carefully and finish with modern clear coats for lasting shine. As a result, your classic looks authentic, smooth, and show-ready.
We deliver :
Factory-Style Color Match: First, we use formulas and spray-out tests for accurate shade.
Custom Colors & Stripes: Next, we plan stripes and two-tones so lines look intentional.
Modern Clear For Durability: Then, we apply premium clear for depth and protection.
Jambs & Hidden Areas: Finally, we refinish door jambs, trunk areas, and under-hood surfaces.
To begin with,we sit down with you to discuss goals, budget, and timeline. Next, we inspect the body, paint, and structure together. As a result, expectations stay clear from day one.
Then, we carefully disassemble the areas being restored. Meanwhile, we label hardware, photograph details, and organize parts. Consequently, reassembly goes smoother with fewer surprises.
After that, we repair rust, damage, and previous repairs. Therefore, we replace metal, straighten panels, and rebuild strength where needed. As a result, the foundation is solid before any filler begins.
If your vehicle has more serious accident damage, our Collision Repair page explains how we handle full body and structural repairs.
Next, we apply filler only where necessary and prime the panels. Then, we block-sand until surfaces are straight and consistent. Consequently, the car is ready for true show-quality paint.
Afterward, we paint in a controlled booth using professional products. Then, we apply clear coat for depth, shine, and protection. Finally, we color-sand and polish for crisp reflections.
Lastly, we reinstall trim, bumpers, lights, and hardware with care. In addition, we check gaps and inspect the finish under proper lighting. As a result, you get a final walk-through before it leaves the shop.
Above all, you’re not just a number here. Instead, Ray and the team stay hands-on throughout your build. As a result, you always know who’s working on your car.
Classic projects can uncover surprises. Therefore, we explain what we find, how we’ll fix it, and what it means for time and cost. As a result, you get honest updates with no runaround.
We don’t cut corners to rush a car out the door. In fact, if it’s not something we’d be proud to drive, it’s not finished. Consequently, your classic leaves the shop done right.
In fact, don’t just take our word for it—here’s what North Texas drivers say about Ray Harris Paint & Body.
I have a couple classic cars. Both needed body shop work. I found Ray Harris by accident and am I glad I did. Ray did exactly what he said he would and the results were far better than I expected. I don’t normally refer people but in this case I highly recommend Ray Harris. He’s an awesome body man and great to work with.

Thank You Ray Harris My Corvette was hit in a parking lot and had some significant damage to the right quarter panel. Not only did Ray make the damage disappear, but he took care of some other issues that I was concerned about.

I brought my Buick Grand National to Ray Harris Paint and Body after a previous shop did a poor job on the header panel—bad paint quality and craftsmanship. Ray stripped it down and completely redid the work, and the results were night and day. . I truly appreciate the attention to detail and professionalism. Highly recommend Ray if you want it done right the first time—or fixed the right way Thanks, Ray!
