Phillips learned to paint from his dad, who was the best painter in town. He grew up in his dad's garage shop, nights and weekends, always with somebody's car torn apart in there. It was never a job first. It was just what he did.

Then he picked up a bottle of ceramic coating, and that changed everything. He saw what it could actually do for paint. The way it takes the UV, the road chemicals, and the contaminants so the finish underneath stays the way it left the shop. Not just on cars, but on trucks and boats too.

He runs Phillips Customs & Repair with that same standard. Prep is the whole job, the color is the last day, and nothing leaves until it's right.
