NOTORIOUS CUSTOMS
OUR PROCESS.
One project. One direction. From first inspection to final finish.
BUILT FROM START TO FINISH
A COMPLETE BUILD NEEDS A COMPLETE PLAN.
Custom and restoration projects are rarely simple. The best results come from planning the entire vehicle as one project rather than treating each stage as a separate job.
At Notorious Customs, the goal is to keep the build moving in one clear direction from the moment the car arrives through to the final finish.

THE JOURNEY
FROM PROJECT CAR TO FINISHED BUILD.
| 01 ENQUIRY You tell us what the vehicle is, what has already been done and where you want the project to go. | 02 ASSESSMENT We review the current condition of the car, previous work and the likely scope of the project. | 03 PLANNING The direction, scope and main stages of the build are worked through before major work begins. | 04 TEARDOWN The vehicle is stripped as required so the real condition of the project can be exposed and assessed. |
| 05 BARE METAL Where required, old coatings and previous repairs are removed to reveal rust, damage and hidden problem areas. | 06 REPAIR & FABRICATION Rust repair, structural repair, panel reconstruction and custom fabrication are completed before the body moves forward. | 07 PANEL & BODYWORK Panel fit, gaps, body lines and overall shape are refined so the car is ready for proper preparation. | 08 PREPARATION The body is prepared to the standard required for the final paint and finish. |
| 09 PAINT & REFINISHING Once the body is ready, the vehicle moves through the chosen refinishing process and final colour direction. | 10 FINAL FINISH The final stages bring the complete build together so the vehicle leaves looking intentional, finished and ready for its next chapter. |
| WHY IT MATTERS EACH STAGE AFFECTS THE NEXT. Poor decisions early in a project can create bigger problems later. Fabrication can affect panel fit. Panel fit affects preparation. Preparation affects paint. Paint affects final presentation. By thinking about the full build from the beginning, we can make each stage support the finished result instead of fighting against it. | STRIP ↓ REPAIR & FABRICATE ↓ PANEL & PREP ↓ PAINT ↓ FINAL FINISH |
ALREADY PART-WAY THROUGH?
WE CAN START FROM WHERE YOU ARE.
Not every project begins with us from day one. If your vehicle has already been stripped, repaired, fabricated or partly restored elsewhere, we can assess the existing work and determine the best point to continue from.
THE NOTORIOUS DIFFERENCE
ONE WORKSHOP. ONE DIRECTION.
The bigger vision behind Notorious Customs is to give enthusiasts one place where a project can move from teardown and bare metal through restoration, fabrication, panel, paint and final finish without losing sight of the original plan.
