Bad Paint Company We build very detailed, dependable, drive-able, rods and customs. Roger grew up in the best eras for cars - modifying and hot rodding, customs, and muscle cars.

In 1958, Bad Paint Company was born after a young man couldn't leave what was in his parents' driveway alone. Roger has always been known for cars that have that "look". Ground scraping, the right proportions, tight consistent gaps, and deep flat paint. Hanging around the shop as a kid, Todd knew he wanted to build cars. After graduating college in 2007, Todd came to work with Roger and they have been partners ever since. We build subtle, finely detailed, and dependable hot rods, street rods, resto mods, and mild customs. We also provide mechanical and maintenance for your rods: tuneups for performance and fuel economy, bolt on EFI, and disc brake and suspension upgrades. We are more than just a paint shop.

WAGON WEDNESDAY!
A throwback to the guy who made utilitarian vehicles to kool for school! He was always ahead of the trends! Maybe because he was starting them. 😎

It's all about that cool factor! 😎

Our buddy Clint Harding sent me this from Facebook. The 60 Brookwood is still on the road. It looks like it's at Cruising The Coast. It still looks as good as the day it left.

Here a few pictures from late summer into fall.
He's talking with a few different friends. Jerrod, Sam, and my dad.

Roger and I may not get together to physically build Hotrods anymore but when we get to hang out we discuss all the details and build it in our heads just like we used to during our days working together.

Go follow these guys! They've been putting in countless hours, blood sweat and tears to give the shop a much needed overhaul and update. They saved the building just in time. They are giving Roger the opportunity to have an incredible and safe place to go hang out and visit while they carry on the shop's name. Stay tuned as they are wrapping up the overhaul of the building and start their business.

Giving consideration to shutting this page down or changing its name, we discussed and decided to keep my page as a tribute to the past years Roger and I spent building cars and traveling the country.

If you have any questions about the shop, Roger and the work they plan on doing please send your messages to them. Stay tuned for updates and they are going to print T-shirts.
