North Little Rock and the north bank

One bridge from your driveway

North Little Rock is the closest town to our shop that is not Little Rock, and a large share of our regulars come from the north bank. Wherever you are in town, we are a short run across the river.

Getting here

Cross the river, turn east, you are done.

Our shop is at 920 Shall Avenue, east of downtown Little Rock. From most of North Little Rock it is over the bridge and then east, and outside of the commute it is a quick run.

If you would rather not make the trip, North Little Rock is on our pickup and drop-off route. Leave the car at home or the office and we will move it both ways. Mention pickup when you book, it is easier to schedule up front.

We work by appointment, so a booked slot means a booked slot. You will not arrive to find three cars ahead of you.

What North Little Rock does to paint

Old trees, event parking and industrial fallout.

The north bank has its own particular set of problems, and they are not the same ones we see in the newer subdivisions west of the city.

Mature tree cover

The older streets have tree cover that newer neighborhoods do not. Sap and bird mess are acidic, and left on hot paint they burn into it.

Event night parking

Ballpark and venue parking means tight rows and a lot of contact you did not agree to. Film on the high-traffic panels is cheap next to a door edge repair.

Industrial fallout

Nearer the industrial stretches you pick up tiny metal particles out of the air. They are what makes paint feel rough right after a wash, and they need a chemical treatment to pull them out.

What the north bank books most

Get it properly clean first, then protect it.

Given the sap and the fallout, the pattern here is usually the same: get the contamination out of the paint, then put something on top so it stops re-bonding.

Ceramic Coating

The answer to sap and bird mess. It lands on the coating rather than the paint, so it comes off in the wash.

Paint Correction

If sap has already burned a mark in, that is real damage in the paint and it needs polishing out before anything goes on top of it.

Local questions.

How far is the shop from North Little Rock?

Not far at all. From most of North Little Rock you are crossing the river and turning east, and outside of rush hour it is a quick run. We are one of the closest full-service film and coating shops to the north bank.

Do you pick up in North Little Rock?

We do. North Little Rock is on our regular pickup and drop-off route, so you can leave the car at home or at work and keep your day. Mention it when you book.

I park outside year round. What does that actually do to the paint?

Tree sap and bird mess are acidic, and if they sit on hot paint they burn a mark into it. A coating is what stops that, because the mess lands on the coating instead of the paint and comes off in the wash.
