Paint is one of the first things people notice on a classic car. Ray Harris Paint and Body focuses on careful color matching, smooth refinishing, and clear coat protection so your classic looks clean, authentic, and built to last.
We start by talking through your goals, budget, timeline, and vision for the car. Then we inspect the body, paint, and structure so everyone understands the project before work begins.
Next, we carefully disassemble the areas being restored. We label parts, document details, and look for rust, old repairs, hidden damage, or fitment issues that need attention.
Once we know what the car needs, we repair rust, straighten panels, address previous repairs, and rebuild weak areas when needed. A solid foundation comes before filler, primer, and paint.

We apply filler only where needed, then prime and block-sand the panels until the surfaces are straight and consistent. This step helps prepare the car for a smooth, show-quality finish.
Once the bodywork is ready, we paint the vehicle in a controlled booth using professional products. Then we apply clear coat for depth, gloss, and protection before color-sanding and polishing when needed.
After paint and polishing are complete, we reinstall trim, bumpers, lights, and hardware with care. Before the car leaves the shop, we check gaps, inspect the finish under proper lighting, and walk through the completed work with you.

You’re not just another number here. Ray and the team stay hands-on throughout the build, so you know who is working on your car and what is happening next.
Classic projects can uncover surprises. When they do, we explain what we found, what needs to happen, and how it may affect the timeline or cost.
We don’t rush a classic just to get it out the door. If something would not be right on our own car, we will not call it done on yours.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what North Texas drivers say about Ray Harris Paint and 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.

Classic car restoration comes with a lot of questions about cost, timing, parts, paint, and how far the project should go. These quick answers explain what to expect before you start your build.
Ray Harris Paint and Body handles classic car body repair, rust repair, panel replacement, paint restoration, refinishing, and color matching. For full builds, we may coordinate with trusted partners for interior or mechanical work when needed.
Restoration pricing depends on the condition of the vehicle, rust, previous repairs, parts needs, paint work, and how far you want to take the build. We inspect the car, talk through your goals, and explain the work needed before giving an estimate.
A full restoration can take several months or longer depending on the vehicle, parts availability, metal work, body condition, paint needs, and project scope. We’ll give you a realistic timeline and keep you updated as the work moves forward.
In many cases, yes. If you already have parts, we can review them and let you know whether they are the right fit for the project. Some parts may still need adjustment, repair, or replacement depending on the vehicle.
Both options may be possible. Some owners want a period-correct restoration, while others want custom paint, upgraded finishes, or personal touches. We’ll talk through your goals and help plan a restoration that fits the car and your vision.
