Division — Paint, reflection and precision

Automotive

Paint correction, ceramic coatings and wheel restoration for every vehicle, from daily drivers to exotics.

Overview

Automotive is where Altus Finishes started, in the Nanaimo shop. The same measured process applies whether it's a daily driver, a family SUV or a collector exotic — what a vehicle is worth doesn't change how it's treated once it's in the shop.

What Automotive covers

Scopes are built per project. These are the categories of work the studio is set up to perform.

Paint reconditioning & correction

Scratches, chips, swirl marks, oxidation and etching addressed through buffing, polishing and staged machine correction guided by paint-depth readings.

Ceramic coatings

A full paint correction to prepare the surface, then a ceramic coating for lasting protection and shine. The system we use carries a manufacturer rating of up to ten years under proper care — a product rating, not an unconditional Altus warranty.

Learn more

Wheel & rim restoration

Curb rash, poor previous paint and other cosmetic wheel damage restored to a clean, finished look. Cosmetic restoration, not structural wheel repair.
