    Paul has done three of my vehicles; a Volks Westfalia, a GMC RV, and a Kia Mini Van. He is a true artist - a consumate professional. A painter uses canvas, a sculture stone, Paul the body of a vehicle to create his master-pieces. When he finished with the 1990 Westfalia, I proudly drove it for a few more years, before selling it for over nineteen thousand dollars The buyer loved the art work Paul did. His fees are reasonable. I wouldn't own a car he hasn't put his signature to.

    Paul and Laurie Geiselman have been in business for years so when I needed my new car to be dressed up they were my natural choice. My car was beautiful but it did not stand out. I wanted to make it special and boy does it! I Love it! I now have a wood grain dash, chrome accessories, and a pinstripe that Paul threw in for free.(what a nice guy) I am so glad I had the woek done by them, not only did they do a great job but they did it cheaper than other places that I had called. Thanks !!!!!!
