It's all about the paint

When thinking about paint, it most often centers on the perfect color, personal likes and dislikes, and usually pertains to a room in your house or a new exterior color for better curb appeal. When it comes to your automobile, sometimes a paint job provides a classic car a new hot speedy look, but usually that new paint job comes because of necessity due to an accident or because someone ran a shopping cart into the side of your car leaving a pretty dent or maybe even petty vandalism.Blake’s Auto Body understands that even if the vehicle isn’t brand new, matching the color exactly and making the car look like it just rolled off the lot is a priority. What this means for an auto repair shop is using the best technology on the market and the North Bay chain of automobile repair locations does just that.Blake’s newest acquisition is a paint booth at the Novato site at 861 Vallejo Ave. Known as the “professional down draft spray booth 27” the staff can’t help but describe it as “beautiful and sexy.” And its eco-friendly to boot, boasts Blake’s Auto Body CEO Marc Sebastian.Built by Global Finishing Solutions, which is the world’s leading manufacturer of paint and spray booths, the innovative development is dedicated to providing the most energy efficient and ecologically friendly paint environment. In fact, the company provides spray booths for all of the major car manufacturers and also approved aviation paint booths for the U.S. government.According to Sebastian, the new booth allows Blake’s to return cars quicker to consumers because of time efficiency. “It is a fantastic piece of equipment and with a push of a button proper temperature is almost immediate and dust can’t accumulate because an envelope of air develops around the automobile allowing a clean job.”With better technology, the new spray booth keeps Blake’s Auto Body as a leader in the automobile repair industry in the Bay Area. They are also part of the one percent of body repair locations using Waterborne Paints, blending paint with water instead of chemical solvents. This means when the paint dries it releases water into the air instead of hazardous chemicals, explains Sebastian.The company has locations in San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, as well as the Novato site. Owned by Blake Andros of Novato, the company began in 1980 when a young Andros began painting cars in his driveway. The firm has continued to grow incorporating many green practices into its operation. Blake’s Auto Body can be found online at www.blakesautobody.com and on Facebook.
