Restored to Resemble Tradition
549 Restored exists at the intersection of fine art and automotive culture. What started with a spray gun and a garage has grown into a full custom art and fabrication studio.
The Story
Art That Moves
549 Restored was born from a deep love for the craft — the kind of work where your hands, your eyes, and your patience are the only tools that matter. We specialize in photorealistic airbrush art, custom automotive paint, traditional pinstriping, and TIG welding.
Whether it's laying down a portrait on a gas tank, shooting a flawless candy coat on a classic truck, building a Blanton's bourbon barrel table, or welding up a custom frame — every job gets the same obsessive attention to detail.
We use professional Iwata airbrush equipment and premium automotive finishes because the work demands it. This isn't a factory — it's a studio. Every piece that leaves here is built by hand, driven by passion, and finished to a standard we'd put our name on.

RestorationHow We Work
What We Stand For
One of a Kind
No templates, no cookie-cutter designs. Every project is a custom creation built around your vision. Your ride is unique — the work on it should be too.
Old School, New Precision
We respect the traditions of kustom culture — hand-laid pinstripes, traditional airbrush technique — but we bring modern precision and materials to every job.
Obsessive Detail
The difference between good and great is in the details nobody else notices. We notice them all. Every line, every blend, every bead gets the same level of care.
Straight Talk
We'll be honest about timelines, costs, and what's possible. No surprises, no runaround. Just real conversation between people who care about the craft.
