TD Customs is at Lumilor Labs’ Training Center!

TD Customs is finally here at the Lumilor Labs headquarters in Las Vegas! Tim is learning all about the Lumilor product and its application system so we can bring the coolest (and only!) electroluminescent paint product back to the East Coast with us! TD Customs will be one of the first shops in the United States to become certified in Lumilor. Others have been certified from Australia, the UK and even the Middle East. We are excited to get in on the ground floor of this new technology, and can't wait to get to work on some awesome projects! The first day of class was great. Tim is loving it and learning a lot. They talked about the paint ...

Electroluminescent painted bicycles just made night cycling way cooler

Night cycling just got way cooler. Forget about reflectors, cheap lights or old EL wires. With the Lumilor® Electroluminescent Coating System, TD Customs can make your bicycle light up on command through the paint itself. Lumilor may be the next big thing to hit the cycling industry. It is the world's first sprayable electroluminescent coating system, and easily adds both function and decoration to the average bicycle. When lit, it allows your bicycle to turn into a real light with an electrical charge. When Lumilor is not lit, all you will see is a simple, clean paint job. You control it with a simple switch. Electroluminescent ...

Custom painted wheels: A subtle, yet significant upgrade

Custom painted wheels can really add a unique, yet simple look to your car. These wheels were painted silver, with small touches of black on the inside edges and a thin black line around the side. These wheels look classy with the silver base and small touches of black, and there are tons of possibilities for other color schemes. They can be painted to match the car, to contrast the majority color, or as a compliment to a two-toned car. Custom painted wheels are a subtle upgrade to the look of the car that make it stand out from all the other wheels and rims out there. Tim recently added a red pinstripe to his black El Camino wheels. It ...

Truck Restoration Update: Land Rover Defender

If you're following us on social media (which you totally should be!), you may have seen our latest auto restoration project; a 1995 Land Rover Defender. This is a cool off-road luxury vehicle that is getting a full restoration and paint job. It will be painted the original off-white color, with a black roll cage and black trim pieces. We are diligently working on this truck restoration because there is a tight deadline to meet on this one. Generally, our auto restorations take a few months from start to finish. However, this customer lives in Key West, and comes to Charlotte for business only every so often, so due to his schedule, we ...

Full Paint Job, Done in Stages

One recent restoration project we've had is this 1965 Mustang, which will ultimately be getting a full paint job. We've been working with this customer for awhile. It was about two  years ago that he brought it in for body work and to get it put in primer. He explained that this was a project car and he was expecting the restoration, with both our work and the work he plans on doing himself, would take a few years to be completely finished. He didn't want an entire restoration done on the spot, but rather slowly work on it at the pace he feels comfortable with. Sometimes, it's easier for the customer if we break up the full paint job in ...

Keeping those classic restorations sparkling

The '56 Buick Special is a full classic restoration we did a little over a year ago, and today, it's back in the shop for a detailed wash and professional polish job. Our classic restorations leave the shop looking brand new and perfectly clean. But after driving around and taking it to car shows this summer, it could use some TLC to bring it back to that sparkling, just painted look. Auto restorations are a big investment into the life of a classic car, so it's important to maintain not only the engine, but the body and the paint job as well. Show car detailing helps to maintain the perfect shine and gloss on the paint. We've experimented ...
