Automotive
Showrooms that shine and service bays that take the abuse.
Automotive facilities put two very different demands on a painting contractor: a showroom that has to look perfect under the lights, and shops and bays where oil, chemicals and tires wear everything out. McAllister handles both, with floor coating systems that stand up to vehicles and finishes that match the brand.
- Showroom floor coatings that take vehicle traffic
- Chemical-resistant floors for service bays
- Brand colors matched and approved
- Bay-by-bay phasing so the shop keeps working
Facilities
Automotive facilities we work in.
Each facility type has its own page with the surfaces, schedule and services that apply.
Car Parks
Parking structures and lots take weather, vehicle traffic and standing water, and their coatings and markings are part of how safely they work.
Car Showrooms
A showroom floor is part of the sale, so the finish has to look like glass and still take vehicles being driven in and out every day.
Commercial Garages
Garages and fleet shops need walls and floors that shrug off oil, chemicals, tire marks and pressure washing.
Vehicle Repair Shops
Repair shops run on their bays, so the work is planned so lifts stay in service and the shop keeps taking cars.
RV Dealerships
RV dealerships combine a showroom, a service shop and a large lot, with big doors and tall bays built for oversized vehicles.
How we approach it
Floors first, then everything above them.
Most automotive projects are decided by the floor. Showrooms want a high-gloss, decorative finish that cleans easily; service bays want chemical resistance and slip resistance. McAllister assesses the slab, specifies the system and schedules the work bay by bay so the business keeps operating.
Walls, ceilings, exteriors and customer areas follow the same plan, with brand standards matched and approved before the first coat.
Services
Most often scoped for automotive.

Questions
Automotive questions.
Still have a question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Can you work while the automotive facility stays open?
Usually, yes. Most projects are phased or scheduled after hours so the facility keeps operating. The sequence, access and containment are agreed before the crew arrives.
Do you work for general contractors or directly for owners?
Both. McAllister bids and carries the Division 9 finish scope for general contractors, and works directly for owners and facility managers on existing buildings.
Where do you take on this work?
McAllister is based in Slocomb, Alabama and works across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. Send the location and scope with your quote request and we will confirm whether it fits our schedule.
