G E Auto Paints & Supplies

grrreeeeaaaaatttt service. came in, told him what i was doing, he didnt judge about how i was going about doing things. he understood my budget and didnt try to over sell me on certain things but provided me with the best of wich my money could buy.
still not on the super cheap end either, just painting a track car that will see a bunch of bumping and hitting.

Just picked up clear coat and the color code for my s2k, Gary was really helpful and intelligent with providing me the right information and tips in using these paint

Gary is great! Very friendly and has lots of expertise! He has provided me with paint to match two of my vehicles — a 65 Impala and a 2000 BMW 3-​series. I’m about to have him whip up another batch for my BMW! :)

Great customer service!!! Will always match your paint!!!

Gary is great and his products are great. He helped me match a old classic porsche that I could not seem to get anywhere else (I finally stumbled on his store). The color match was perfect. He also gives great advice.

A true diamond in the rough. Gary can match a color from scratch, and can come pretty close to what you need. Being in the body shop business, this is golden. He is older than old school, but he gets the job done, has products that no one around town has, and he takes cards as a form of payment. Some may say that he is expensive, but automotive paint in general is considerably expensive, and GE auto paint is very competitive with their pricing.

I really wanted to like this place, it seemed exactly like what I was looking for, but now I’m thinking not.
A year or so ago I went in and Gary helped me get some clear coat for a project I was working on. Seemed helpful enough, especially since I was new to automotive quality paints.
Came in again today because I wanted to try my hand at some more paint work and figured this was the place to go. Somewhere I could get some advice on how to start off, what type of paint to use… etc.
When I came in Gary was busy helping another customer so I waited for them to finish — no problem here I’m glad he was willing to devote his time to the other customer to help him get what he needed. Near the end of the conversation with the previous customer Gary began talking about how the «government does nothing right». The topic came up in regard to regulations on paint — and I tend to agree that some of the regulations on paint are a bit ridiculous, but he went past that and basically started «schooling» the customer on how bad the government is — not specific to paint, but general stuff. Definitely over the line and not professional at all. The customer and I pretty much just blew it off, or maybe the other guy shared the same viewpoint, I’m not sure. I was willing to ignore this because I assume you’re going to have to deal with a certain amount of old school dogma when dealing with a place like this. You gotta take the good with the bad. But it still irritated me.
The straw that broke the camel’s back however was that he wasn’t helpful when it was my turn at the counter. He answered my questions but really acted like he didn’t want to be there talking to me. His attitude changed from the previous customer to me. It really wasn’t a big deal until another customer came in, walked straight to the counter and Gary just started ignoring me and paying attention to the other guy. Apparently he was done helping me.
I’m bummed after this experience because I can’t patronize a business that pushes it’s political agenda and doesn’t respect it’s customers. Too bad, I thought I had an awesome local auto paint shop, I guess I was wrong.

This is the place for quality products and for the amature, good advice. They take the time and customer service is good. Never had a problem.

This place is the best. Gary and his wife are really really cool people. Gary will actually sit down listen to you and help you with any paint related issue you might be having. Hard to find shops that will do this. Gary is a wizard when it comes to automotive paint and color matching and has no problem sharing his valuable knowledge with his customers. They supply paint to a lot of of shops in the area that spend big money on paint/​supplies yet they still make time for the hobbiest/DIY’er that may be having a paint issue. There is A LOT that can go wrong with painting cars and this guy has seen it all! I really can’t say enough good things about this place. He should really make a you tube channel related to auto paint. Do yourself a favor and listen to what he says, he has been there done that and dealt with all the B.S. that can happen with Auto Paint.

Really great old-​school shop. A lot of auto paint shops treat walk-​in customers like they aren’t worth bothering with, because they aren’t going to buy more than enough stuff for one or two jobs at the most, and because they need a lot of hand-​holding. Not here, the owner will discuss what products to use, how to use them and how to save money. He can get stuff that’s hard to find elsewhere too, even mixes up custom spray cans if you need them.

Gary is a great guy and he takes the time to explain the details about spraying and mixing. He carries PPG paints (my preference) and will custom mix colors and even put them in a spray can! This is the only place around I know that will go the distance and more for you.

This place is great, really great prices and great service. They are honest if they are selling you a lower end product as well as a higher end product. I went in there thinking I’m going to come out with a sore wallet but in reality, I got the most bang for my buck! Support your local paint shops, this place is a really good deal. They can even mix paint into a spray can for you for a good price.
