Space Age Auto Paint

These guys are the best! I have never used a polisher on my 08 Chevy Malibu to help with my sun and oxidative clear coat before. So I went in and spoke with two great guys that walked me through the whole process. I simply asked them «what would you use if this was your vehicle?» They immediately showed me the products and what pads are best for This polisher i had bought at harbor freight. I worked on it all day yesterday and did what they recommended. I used the Preston two step cutting and polishing, then finished it off with new finish wax. My car looks absolutely brand new! Thank you guys you are absolute professionals.

Awesome place! Decent prices, great people, and they have some pretty good looking girls working there lol I originally went for paint for my 2014 Red Rock Metallic Camaro. Wanted to pin stripe the Chevy badges. I had already flat blacked them with model paint and an air brush. I wanted to make sure I could put auto paint over that and clear it. They answered my endless questions about how to do everything! And we’re great about it! I was there so long I ended up getting paint to fix my mothers gold Lexus SUV. They mixed that paint in a spray can for me for only $ 15 and gave me what was left from the can they took the paint from. Oh and they had the Real Sunrise Pearl gold paint used on Bumblebee in all the movies. Which is very expensive and hard to find! It was more expensive than I’ve seen anywhere… But I bought that too for a model car lol they sold it to me by the ounce for like $ 15… Other places I would have had to buy it by the quart!
Very impressed! I will go back!

Great selection of larger scale fiberglass components. AJ walked me through my project and made sure that I had the right products. They get shipments every day so my out-​of-​stock order was filled the next day.

Best customer service experience I’ve had. A plethora of paints and kind, knowledgeable employees. If one doesn’t know the answer (s) to your question (s), they will find another who does. I highly recommend going here over any national chain paint or automotive store. This place is rockin’!

I would say they carry almost anything you need to restore a ride, went in and they custom mixed some original factory paint codes for my 66 bug and are able to also put the paint into aerosol spray cans as well, very cool! They carry all of the best brands. I also was able to pick up some POR-​15 for my chassis which I believe is the best type of coating for that use.
Very friendly and knowledgable staff.

Yeah, sorry. These people do not really know what they’re talking about. Just trying to sell stuff. 2 stars for amount of supplies they carry. But They didn’t have what I needed, and will not be going back.

awsome paint supply store!!! they have everything you could every want for paint work and then some. the parts I got from them turned out better that the OEM parts!

As soon as I walked into this place, I knew I was at home. Having worked in a body shop, I was familiar with paints, etc. However, their selection of products blew away my favorite auto body supply store in Chicago (Erkert Bros. in Blue Island). The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and give you very rapt attention when you are looking for something.

Space Age Paint is hard core and I’ll leave it at that. :)

5 stars for Service, service, & knowledgeable service!
We walked in like a couple of rookies and our clerk patiently walked us thru the entire decisionmaking process. She even got on the phone with our painter (they speak the ancient language of paint) to verify some details.
I saw other clerks waiting on people and they all had friendly attitudes and best of all they QUOTE you the prices in a very matter-​of-​fact way BEFORE they make all the products.
I like that — No surprises at the register. They help you make informed decisions about what you «really» need to get the job done. Well Done!
Great place — we will recommend them to others.

I stopped in to pick up some touch up paint after passing the store many times.
The place is like a museum, a Allison j35 jet engine, a aero car, a 1100 cubic inch aluminum tank engine, and more.
And I got the touch up paint I needed

One of these days, in the not too distant future, people might say– «remember what West Mesa used to be like?»
And I’ll say «Oh yeah. You mean all cracked and dry on the surface… but interesting and funky down in the creases?»
Yep. And Space Age Auto body is definitely one of those funky wrinkles. Admittedly, the average person has little use for auto body supplies in their lifetime, but Space Age offers alot more. They have the waxes and touch-​up paints to keep your older ride looking airtight. They also carry all the weird clips and little trim items– Stuff you absolutely can’t get anywhere else but online (or in the «HELP!» packages at Autozone). It’s all very well categorized and the selection is mind blowing.
But honestly, what they do best is just being cool. There is a vintage British motorcycle and a Ducati Monster perched on top of one of the aisles, a restored WWII tank engine just sitting on display, a vintage Dodge Charger «Funny Car» body hangs from the ceiling, and an original streamlined 3 wheeled car from the 1930’s in pristine condition… and more.
It’s kinda like the automotive version of your funky old pair of Chuck Taylors. Dig it!

I have know of this store for decades, however I don’t drop in often enough.
I went in this weekend to get paint and other supplies to make my car look new again.
I was prepared to pay for a custom paint mix, which they can even put into spray cans for those of us who don’t own a air gun paint setup. However I was lucky and found the illusive color I needed from duplicaolor which I had searched many auto parts stores for.
In addition to auto paints, sandpapers polishes and everything else you could need to get the job done, they have a large selection of auto fasteners.
For added fun and interesting factor there are many museum displays around the store. From a giant allision engine from a fighter plane, to the body from a dukes of hazard car.
Prices a good and they even have a «happy hour» on bondo from 3 – 5 pm every day.
