Custom paint & body
for Browns Corner
If you're in Browns Corner — a city in Virginia of ~250 residents — Allen Automotive is the paint shop worth the trip.
We specialize in metallic, flake and chameleon finishes, plus collision & body repair and detailing. The shop is in Petersburg at 615 E Washington St — 250 residents and counting come to us when the finish matters.
Custom Paint
Full resprays, color changes, candy, pearl, flake and two-tone finishes — booth-sprayed and cut to a mirror gloss.
Restoration
Classic and muscle-car paint and body restoration — metal work, panel fitment and show-grade finishes built to be judged.
Scuff & Shoot
The fast-turnaround respray: scuff the old finish, shoot the new one. Full color refresh without full-teardown pricing.
Collision & Body
Panel replacement, dent and metal work, frame-true fitment. We bring body lines back to factory gaps — or better.
Detail & Correction
Paint correction, wet sanding, ceramic-ready polishing and full interior + exterior details that make paint pop.
